Operation of each component
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
● Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully
closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an acci-
dent.
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
have heat exhaustion or suffocate.
● Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
■ Important points while driving
● Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects or luggage in the
luggage compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.
● Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden
braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

1364-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
CAUTION
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
● When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do
not hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
● If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it
may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands,
head or neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part
to the back door, using a genuine Scion part is recommended.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the back door on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the back door unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
● When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
● When closing the back door, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the back door handle is used to fully
close the back door, it may result in
hands or arms being caught.

NOTICE
■Back door damper stays
The back door is equipped with damper stays that hold the back door in
place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door damper stay, resulting
in malfunction.
● Do not attach any foreign objects, such
as stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives
to the damper stay rod.
● Do not touch the damper stay rod with
gloves or other fabric items.
● Do not attach any heavy accessory to
the back door. Scion recommends gen-
uine Scion parts.

Operation of each component
CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position
● Take care that seat does not strike passengers or luggage. Especially
when lowering the seatback, take care as to not squash the legs of the
rear passenger.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■ Seat adjustment
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● When returning the seatback upright, be careful not to be hit by the seat-
back which will rebound with considerable spring force.
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
■ Caution while driving
● Never operate the seat position adjustment lever and the seatback angle
adjustment lever while driving.
● Do not place anything under the front seats.
The items may fly out and interrupt pedal operation in events such as sud-
den braking, and may cause an accident.
■ When sitting down or getting up off the rear seat
● Take care as not get hand or feet caught in between movable and joining
parts.
● When sitting down or getting up off the rear seat, make sure not to trip
over the seat rail grooves.
● Be sure to fix the front seat after sitting down or getting up off the rear seat.
■ Operating the front seats from the rear seat
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
