It's a manual with the only options being the floor mats and the Scion stencil on the rear bumper.

A few questions:
- 1st gear seems really low...I sometimes start in 2nd gear...any problem with that?
- Is there a Factory Service Manual online (PDF) that I can download?
- Our car was 'swapped' with another dealer about 100mi away. They forgot to remove the 'dealer' alarm. I had to disconnect it the next day because the starter was disabled. It's an Audiovox Pursuit (PRO 2032). I was able to find user manual and a schematic, but no install instructions. Any chance I can turn it on w/o going to the dealer.

Not having an xb (yet), I can only guess that starting in second gear is going to get you back into the stealership for a new clutch sooner than later. Every car I've ever owned has been a manual, and I can tell you from experience that slipping the clutch will catch up to you. Besides, it may be the case that you're not staying in first long enough. While I am by no means advocating winding it up too tight, little Japanese motors like this aren't meant to be lugged around town. My advice is to use the first gear.

I am also curious as to the existence of an online factory service manual and am hoping that someone with more knowledge/experience will post with help.

I have a brand new 09 xB Classic Silver with MT. I have been told and have seen other posts NOT to start in 2nd gear (Of course unless you are on ICE) as it is too much car to move (weight to HP). Also, previous post is correct, the **** burners are made for more RPMS so wind it up a little. Chief
