Scion iM_U (12J49U)The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
l
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
l Cruise control system
l Anti-lock brake system
l SRS airbag system
l Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Scion dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Your Scion is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will rec\
ord
certain data, such as: • Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position (vehicles with a continuously variable transmission)
The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con-
versations, sounds or pictures.
lData usage
Scion may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Scion will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency
• For use by Scion in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
nWhen installing the driver’s floor mat
lDo not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Scion Genuine floor mats.
l Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
l Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
l Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
l Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
n Before driving
lCheck that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
l With the engine stopped and the shift
lever in P (continuously variable trans-
mission) or N (manual transmission),
fully depress each pedal to the floor to
make sure it does not interfere with the
floor mat.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
nWhen folding the rear seatbacks down
lDo not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
l Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P (continuously variable transmission) or N (manual transmission).
l Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
l Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
l Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is th\
en
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used.
l Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks.
l Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seat-
backs so that the front seats do not interfere with the rear seatbacks when
folding down the rear seatbacks.
n After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
lMake sure that the seatback is securely
locked in position by lightly rocking it
back and forth.
If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release knob. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.
l Check that the seat belts are not twisted
or caught in the seatback.
If the seat belt gets caught between the
seatback’s securing hook and latch, it
may damage the seat belt.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
nWhen driving on slippery road surfaces
lSudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
l Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
l After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
n When shifting the shift lever
lVehicles with a continuously variable transmission: Do not let the vehicle
roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward
while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
l Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: Do not shift the shift
lever to P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
l Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
l Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
l Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
l Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: Be careful not to shift
the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift lever
to a gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of
the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious
injury.

Driving
Scion iM_U (12J49U)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
nIf you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Scion dealer as soon
as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
n When the vehicle is stopped
lDo not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (continuously variable transmis-
sion) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, caus-
ing an accident.
l Vehicles with a continuously variable transmission: In order to prevent
accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the
brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as
necessary.
l If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
l Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combusti\
ble
material is nearby.
n When the vehicle is parked
lDo not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
