■Seat belt pretensioners
●Seat belt pretensioners are not designed to activate in minor frontal or
side impact, in rear impacts or in roll-over accidents.
● The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant classification system deter- mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-

● The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the
vehicle.

● Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by Scion
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Scion parts equipped with a force limiter.
● If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Scion dealer
as soon as possible.
● If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your Scion dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
