Rear Seat
By lowering the rear seatbacks the luggage compartment space can
be expanded.
Split Folding the Seatback
WARNING
■ Do not drive the vehicle with o ccupants on folded down seatbacks or
in the luggage compartment.
Putting occupants in the luggage compartment is dangerous because seat
belts cannot be fastened which could lead to serious injury or death during
sudden braking or a collision.
■ Do not allow children to play inside the vehicle with the seatbacks low-
ered.
Allowing children to play in the vehicle with the seatbacks folded down is
dangerous. If a child enters the luggage compartment and the seatbacks
were raised back up, the child may become trapped in the luggage com-
partment which could lead to an accident.
■ Tightly secure cargo in the luggage compartment when it is trans-
ported with the seatbacks folded down.
Driving without tightly securing cargo and luggage is dangerous as it could
move and become an obstruction to dr iving during emergency braking or a
collision resulting in an unexpected accident.
■ When transporting cargo , do not allow the cargo to exceed the height
of the seatbacks.
Transporting cargo stacked higher than the seatbacks is dangerous as visi-
bility to the rear and sides of the vehicle is reduced which could interfere
with driving operations and lead to an accident.

Essential Safety Equipment
Head Restraints
Adjust the head restraint so that
the center is even with the top of
the passenger’s ears.
To raise a head restraint, pull it up to the desired position.
To lower the head restraint, press the stop-catch release, then push
the head restraint down.
■Front outboard seat
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints on all outboard
seats and the rear center seat. The head restraints are intended
to help protect you and the passengers from neck injury.
WARNING
■Always drive with the head restraints installed when seats are being
used and make sure they are properl y adjusted. In addition, always
raise the head restraints on all rear seats when they are being used
Driving with the head restraints adjusted too low or removed is dangerous.
With no support behind your head, your neck could be seriously injured in a
collision.

1-4. SRS Air Bags
WARNING
■Do not touch the components of the supplemental restraint system
after the air bags have inflated
Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very
hot. You could get burned.
■ Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo
bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is
dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could
cause air bags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from
inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.
■ Do not modify the suspension
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a col-
lision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
■ To prevent false detection by the air bag sensor system, heed the fol-
lowing
● Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Scion:
Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Scion ( P. 570)
is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle’s accident detec-
tions system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident result-
ing in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
● Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as it could prevent the air bag
crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-
dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the pos-
sibility of serious injuries. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the driver’s door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
● Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Scion off-road is dangerous because the vehicle has not been
designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road could prevent the air bag
crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-
dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the pos-
sibility of serious injuries.

When Driving
If the Smart City Brake Support
(SCBS) is operating, the indicator
light (red) flashes.
●The collision warning beep sounds intermittently while the SCBS brake or
brake assist (SCBS brake assist) is operating.
● If the vehicle is stopped by the SCBS operation and the brake pedal is not
depressed, the warning beep sounds one time after about 2 seconds and
the SCBS brake is automatically released.
WARNING
■Do not modify the suspension
If the vehicle height or inclination is changed, the system will not be able to
correctly detect vehicles ahead. This will result in the Smart City Brake Sup-
port (SCBS) system not operating normally or mistakenly operating, which
could cause a serious accident.
■ Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) when the vehicle is run-
ning on a chassis roller or being towed
Turn off the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system to prevent mistaken
operation when the vehicle is running on a chassis roller or being towed.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System Operation
on P. 210.
NOTICE
● When driving off-road in areas where there is grass or forage, it is recom-
mended that the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system be turned off.
● Always use tires for all wheels that are of the specified size, and the same
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tires with
significantly different wear patterns on the same vehicle as the Smart City
Brake Support (SCBS) system may not operate normally.

Maintenance and Care
Check under the hood area to make certain all filler caps are in
place and all loose items (e.g. tools, oil containers, etc.) have been
removed.
Lift the hood, grasp the padded
area on the support rod, and
secure the support rod in the
clip. Verify that the support rod
is secured in the clip before
closing the hood.
Lower the hood slowly to a height of about 7.9 in. (200 mm) above
its closed position and then let it drop.

WARNING
■ Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident.
NOTICE
When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.

Proper tire balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps
reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and
uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the orig-
inal factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
NOTICE
●Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conven-
tional tire. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tire and rim.
●The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 3,000 miles
(5,000 km). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving condi-
tions.
●The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tread wear
solid- band indicator appears, replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare ( P. 450).
Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
■Always use wheels of the correct size on your vehicle
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous. Braking and handling could
be affected, leading to loss of control and an accident.
NOTICE
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
●Tire fit
●Wheel and bearing life
●Ground clearance
●Snow-chain clearance
●Speedometer calibration
●Headlight aim
●Bumper height
●Tire Pressure Monitoring System (if equipped)
