I don't know where cigarette lighter in Scion is, but often near the lighter there's switch for seat heaters. Does the icon look like something in these pictures?: http://www.evnut.com/images/rav4/rav_mods/rav_seat_heater.jpg these switches are for seat heaters http://l.yimg.com/dv/izp/nissan_altima_2.5_s_2009_dashboard_instrumentpanel.jpg the bottom-most switches are for windshield and rear window defrosters P.V.

And I'm not sure the xB has a PWR/ECON button anyway. Our old MR2 did have one of those on the dash (it said "ECT" on its face), to one side of the instrument cluster. The MR2 also had an OD ON/OFF button, which was on the shift lever. The Tercel also has an OD ON/OFF button on the shift lever in the same location as the MR2 and xB (readily falls to your right thumb). When you turn the OD off, an orange light illuminates in the instrument cluster that tells you the OD is OFF. When you hit the "ECT" button in the MR2, an orange or green light would illuminate within the instrument cluster that said "PWR" or "ECON" respectively. -- Tegger

The cigarette lighter is about 2 inches below that. In between (in the 4 inches) is a compartment which I'm told is for sunglasses.
