FEATURES/OPERATIONS
NOTICE
If the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the camera may change. Be sure
to have the camera position and mounting angle checked at your local Scion dealer.
The camera is of water proof construction. Do not detach, disassemble or modify it. Any
of these activities may cause the system to malfunction.
If the temperature changes rapidly, such as pouring hot water on the vehicle in cold
temperatures, the system may not operate normally.
Do not hit the camera or expose it to strong impact as this may cause its position and
mounting angle to change.
Do not rub the camera lens too hard. If the lens is scratched it cannot transmit a clear
image.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to the
camera. If contact is made with one of these substances wipe it off as soon as possible.
When replacing tires on the vehicle, please consult your Scion dealer. If you replace the
tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.
Do not use a high-pressure car-wash machine type wand to spray the camera or camera
area as this may cause serious damage to the rear view camera. Using intensive bursts
of water may result in the camera malfunctioning.
CAUTION
The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Depicted distances between
objects and flat surfaces will differ from actual distance. If you back up looking only at
the screen monitor, you may hit an object, vehicle or person.
Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed image may
become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted or not entirely visible when
the outside temperature is low.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help hold
child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child restraint
system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning)
System
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn
the ignition switch to “ON” and press and hold the “
SET” button until indicator
blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow initialization to
complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Scion dealer.

Star Safety SystemTM
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Brake Assist (BA)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the
current road conditions.
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control. Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a
split second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle
to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to
sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of
all four wheels.
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
Your new Scion vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which
combines Traction Control (TRAC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD),
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Brake Assist (BA), an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
