In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy
with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the
SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves poten-
tial sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is
too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of
his or her body has been placed between the occupant
and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just
one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of
this Owner ’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the
occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they
can provide to you and your family in the event of an
accident.
Scion recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1 −3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your
time of ownership of this vehicle.Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control
certain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist
in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance.
Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is
a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash
event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In
a crash or a near car crash event, this device may
record some or all of the following information:
 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission selector lever
 Whether the driver and front passenger wore the
seat belts or not
 Driver ’s seat position
 Front passenger ’s occupant classification

Important health and safety
information about your Scion
CAUTION
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constitu-
ents, and a wide variety of automobile compo-
nents contain or emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth de-
fects and other reproductive harm. In addition,
oils, fuels and fluids contained in vehicles as well
as waste produced by component wear contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your
hands after handling. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory
animals. Always protect your skin by washing
thoroughly with soap and water.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Scion
A wide variety of non −genuine spare parts and accesso-
ries for Scion vehicles are currently available in the
market. You should know that Scion does not warrant
these products and is not responsible for their perfor-
mance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on,
your Scion vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non −genuine
Scion products. Modification with non− genuine Scion
products could affect its performance, safety or durabili-
ty, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from
the modification may not be covered under warranty.

viii
Scrapping of your Scion
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in
your Scion contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they
are, this may cause an accident such as a fire. Be sure
to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Scion dealer before you dis-
pose of your vehicle.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check.
This check is done approximately five hours after the
engine is turned off. So you may hear a sound coming
from underneath the luggage compartment for several
minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlo-
rate. These components may include airbag, seat belt
pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.
