104 1-7. Safety information
■Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag can function only when
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield
airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact
sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploys independently of the
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS front airbags in the steering wheel and
instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left
and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen-
sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the center of the rear
seats.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and
one of the center pillar impact sensors or door impact sensors together
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the
control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on
the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house
impact sensor on the same side senses an impact.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and
one of the rear wheel house impact sensors together sense an impact force
above a predetermined level, the control module causes only the SRS cur-
tain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The
time required from detection of an impact to deflation of an SRS side airbag
after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.

Before driving
SRS airbag system monitors
A diagnostic system continually
monitors the readiness of the
SRS airbag system (including
front seat belt pretensioners)
while the vehicle is being driven.
The SRS warning light will show
normal system operation by illu-
minating for approximately 6
seconds when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode.
The following components are monitored by the indicator:
● Front sub sensor (right-hand side)
● Front sub sensor (left-hand side)
● Airbag control module (including impact sensors)
● Frontal airbag module (driver’s side)
● Frontal airbag module (front passenger’s side)
● Side airbag sensor (center pillar right-hand side)
● Side airbag sensor (center pillar left-hand side)
● Door impact sensor (right-hand side)
● Door impact sensor (left-hand side)
● Side airbag module (driver’s side)
● Side airbag module (front passenger’s side)
● Curtain shield airbag sensor (rear wheel house right-hand side)
● Curtain shield airbag sensor (rear wheel house left-hand side)
● Curtain shield airbag module (right-hand side)

116 1-7. Safety information
●Curtain shield airbag module (left-hand side)
● Satellite safing sensor (under the center of the rear seats)
● Seat belt pretensioner (driver’s side)
● Seat belt pretensioner (front passenger’s side)
● Seat belt buckle switch (front passenger’s side)
● Front passenger’s occupant cl assification system sensor
● Front passenger’s occupant detection control module
● Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicator
● All related wiring
CAUTION
■SRS warning light
If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a
malfunction in the seat belt pretensioners, SRS airbag system and/or front
passenger occupant classification system. Immediately take your vehicle to
your nearest Scion dealer to have the system checked. Unless checked and
properly repaired, the seat belt pretensioners, SRS airbag and/or front pas-
senger occupant classification system will not operate properly in the event
of a collision, which may increase the risk of death or serious injury.
●Flashing or flickering of the warning light
● No illumination of the warning light when the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is first turned to IGNITION ON mode.
● Continuous illumination of the warning light
● Illumination of the warning light while driving

The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode, both the ON and OFF indicators illuminate while the system
is checked, after which bot h indicators turn off.
After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status
of the front passenger’s SRS fr ontal airbag determined by the
Scion advanced frontal airbag monitoring system.

Before driving
If the passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indi
cator illuminates and the ON indicator
turns off even when the front passenger’s seat is occupied by an adult
This can be caused by an adult in correctly sitting in the front passen-
ger’s seat. Perform the following.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
Ask the front passenger to set the seatback to the upright
position, sit up straight in the center of the seat cushion, cor-
rectly wear the seat belt, posit ion his/her legs out forward, and
adjust the seat to the rearmost position.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
Turn the OFF indicator remains illuminated while the ON indi-
cator remains off, perform the following.
• Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
• Make sure that the front passenger is not using a blanket, seat cushion, seat cover or seat heater, etc.
• If wearing excessive layers of clothing, the front passenger should remove any unnecessary items before sitting in the
front passenger seat, or should sit in a rear seat.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode. After the self-check is performed, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF indicator remains off. If the
OFF indicator still remains illumi nated while the ON indicator
remains off, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and
immediately contact your Scion dealer for an inspection.

If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat)
This can be caused by the child restraint system being installed incor-
rectly. Perform the following.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.
Remove the child restraint syst em from the seat. By referring
to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system installation procedure in “child
restraint system”, correctly reinstall the child restraint system.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode and make sure that the front passenger’s frontal airbag
ON indicator turns off and the OFF indicator illuminates.
If the ON indicator still remain s illuminated while the OFF indi-
cator turns off, perform the following.
• Ensure that no article is pl aced on the seat other than the
child restraint system and the child occupant.
• Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passenger seat are locked into place securely by mov-
ing the seat back and forth.
If the ON indicator still remain s illuminated while the OFF indi-
cator turns off after taking the relevant corrective actions
described above, relocate the ch ild restraint system to the
rear seat and immediately contact your Scion dealer for an
inspection.
