For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-
ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for
equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Scion policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine
Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Scion
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories 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 performance, 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. Modifi-
cation with non-genuine Scion products could affect its performance, safety
or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.

Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed
to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-
tened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-
ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
●Disclosure of the EDR data
Scion will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except
when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle)
is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Scion in a law suit
However, if necessary, Scion may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

Before driving
CAUTION
■SRS airbag
●Put children aged 12 and under in the
rear seat properly restrained at all
times. The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force and can
injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are lighter
and weaker than adults, their risk of
being injured from deployment is
greater.
For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including those
in child seats and those that have out-
grown child restraint devices) sit in the
REAR seat properly restrained at all
times in a child restraint device or in a
seat belt, whichever is appropriate for
the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing child
seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
For instructions and precautions con-
cerning the child restraint system, refer
to “Child restraint systems”. (P. 107)

75 1-7. Safety information

Before driving
■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)
Turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position 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).
Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By referring to the child
restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well as the child restraint sys-
tem installation procedures in “Child restraint systems” (P. 107), correctly
install the child restraint system. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position
and make sure that the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator turns
off and the OFF indicator illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off,
take the following actions.
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the child restraint
system and the child occupant.
●Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passen-
ger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and
forth.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
after taking relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child
restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your Scion dealer
for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the Scion advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the occupant’s seating posture. The child should always wear
the seat belt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is acti-
vated (the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns
off), take the following actions.

76 1-7. Safety information
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the
child/small adult in the rear seat and immediately contact your Scion dealer
for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, it is
recommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always take the
rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should always wear the
seat belt irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated.
■Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will be activated for deployment
upon impact when any of the following conditions are met regarding the front
passenger’s seat.
●When the seat is occupied by an adult.
●When a certain item(s) (e.g. jug of water) is placed on the seat.

92 1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of
the instrument panel controls.
