I'm guessing here but I'm thinking if the light is on and you just hold the pedal down, the brake won't pump and it'll just lock. If the light is on, I'm guessing it won't pump so you may have to manually pump it. The computer can pump it like 30 times a second, good luck getting 3 pumps a second while you're heart is pounding.

When the little "play" symbol is showing (the triangle that points right) then you have to hold the text button until you hear a beep.
Is it only some CD's or what?

As for radio station, I think it's called RDS. If your radio has it, then it'll show all of the stuff you're talking about.
If you're playing an MP3 CD or ipod, then it should show the title. I haven't bought an original CD in literally years. I refuse to spend $17 on a piece of plastic that only has 2 or 3 good songs.

Well, you don't want to discover that your ABS is not working right when a child runs out in front of your car, so the ABS performs a system self-check at every startup. This is the time when the ABS light will either come on or stay off. If it comes on at startup then it means the self-check found a problem, and then you will know in advance that you have no ABS.

as for the Radio-- well, as far as I know Scion radios don't have the feature to display text from the radio-- i know mine has never displayed text from the radio =/

So is there any setting or buttons I have to push once i try with the burnt cd, as you earlier in the thread they were talking about pushing buttons to change whether it shows time left or text or track etc. or should it do it no matter what? I've used several burnt CD's and havn't got text ever. 
I'll try later though
I'll try later though

I'm not even seeing any option to enable text. I use the Sonic program to burn audio/data discs. Is there a better one available for download or does someone know how to make it enable text in sonic?

Hmm, for some reason this can't be changed (at least not that i know of anyway) on the tC, but on the 08 xD and xB the timing for the automatic door lock function can be changed... maybe because they use different alarm systems....
and for some reason, on the 08 xB by default you have 60 seconds to open a door after using the wireless remote unlock feature before it automatically locks again.
