INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Scion add-on security system to pr\
otect your 
vehicle! To get the most from the system, we strongly recommend that you read this\
 
Owner’s Guide completely to learn all of its features and functions.
The Scion Security System provides security through point-of-entry monit\
oring, 
glass breakage detection and ignition switch monitoring. While ARMED, the system 
will be TRIGGERED and sound an ALARM when a door, trunk, or hatch is forcibly 
unlocked or opened*, or when a window is tapped on or broken. During the\
 ALARM, 
the vehicle’s horn sounds and the headlights, tail lights, and front marker or turn \
signal lights flash. Also, the vehicle’s starter is disabled, preventing engine start. In 
addition to the comprehensive protection, the Scion Security works in co\
njunction 
with your vehicle’s remote keyless entry system, enabling you to ARM and DISARM 
the security system at the same time the doors are remotely locked and u\
nlocked. In 
vehicles equipped with a buzzer, it will chirp when the system is REMOTE ARMED 
and DISARMED.
An important note about your system: 
Throughout this guide, there are references to the STATUS MONITOR for this 
system. Illustrated below, this panel holds the LED indicator (for the system’s 
operating status) and the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR’S microphone. In veh\
icles 
equipped with an engine immobilizer system, there is an LED already inst\
alled, so 
the Scion Security utilizes the vehicle’s engine immobilizer system LED instead and 
a microphone mounted in a separate location. If your vehicle falls into \
this category, 
remember to look at that LED when the information refers to the STATUS MONITOR. 
If you do not know where the LED is located, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s guide for 
specific information. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
* When the system is PASSIVELY (AUTOMATICALLY) ARMED, there is an ENTRY  
  DELAY that will elapse when a door is opened before an ALARM is TRIGGERED.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION–SCION SECURITY FEATURES
FEATURESFUNCTIONS
GLASS    
BREAKAGE 
SENSOR* The Scion Security utilizes a microphone (usually mounted in the 
STATUS MONITOR) to sense the noise from tapping on window 
glass, or glass breaking, and TRIGGER the system to sound 
an ALARM. It is fine tuned to “listen” for this type of noise, and 
ignore other sounds. 
WARN AWAY 
ALARM* When the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR’S microphone picks 
up tapping or breaking of window glass, it TRIGGERS a WARN 
AWAY ALARM; the headlights, tail lights, marker or turn signal 
lights flash, and the horn sounds for 20 seconds, but the starter 
is not disabled. If there is another detection of glass tapping or 
breaking, or if a door is opened or unlocked without a key, the 
regular ALARM is TRIGGERED. 
FORCED LOCK 
DURING ALARM During an ALARM, the system will lock the doors if one is un
-
locked, and will continue to do so for the duration of the ALARM.
TRIGGER 
MEMORY The user is notified that an ALARM occurred. Upon DISARMING 
the system after an ALARM was TRIGGERED, the vehicle’s tail 
and marker lights will be turned on for 2 seconds.
E X T E R I O R               
LIGHT             
ACTIVATION The Scion Security flashes the vehicle’s tail and marker or turn 
signal lights during REMOTE ARMING and REMOTE DISARM-
ING, and during an ALARM. Also, during an ALARM the head
-
lights flash.
BUZZER         
ACTIVATION If your vehicle is equipped with a buzzer that chirps when the lock 
and unlock buttons on the remote keyless entry system’s remote 
controls are pressed, the buzzer will also chirp when the system 
is REMOTE ARMED and DISARMED.
HORN             
ACTIVATION During an ALARM, the Scion Security activates the vehicle’s 
horn.
POWER LOSS 
MEMORY If power to the Scion Security is disrupted while it is ARMED, an 
ALARM is TRIGGERED once power is restored.
STATUS      
MONITOR This panel houses the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR 
microphone and the flashing LED that indicates the operating 
status of the security system. (Some vehicle applications utilize 
the vehicle’s engine immobilizer system LED and a separate 
microphone, instead.)
* The Glass Breakage Sensor is deactivated when the panic alarm is on.

ALARM INFORMATION
ALARM TRIGGERS
While the system is ARMED, an ALARM will be TRIGGERED when any of the following 
occurs:
Forcibly opening a door, or the trunk or hatch without a key
Pulling the trunk release lever inside the vehicle will also 
TRIGGER an ALARM. 
 
 
 
 
 
Manually unlocking a door
Manually operating an inside lock button will TRIGGER an 
ALARM.
Note: Because this action will TRIGGER an ALARM, it is important that you do not ARM the system while 
someone is in the vehicle.  
“Hot wiring” the vehicle
The Scion Security can detect the absence of the ignition key if 
the ignition circuit is shorted in attempt to start the vehicle.
 
 
 
Tapping on or breaking the glass
The noise from tapping on, or breaking of glass TRIGGERS 
a WARN AWAY ALARM first, then a regular ALARM. See 
the description of how the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR 
TRIGGERS ALARMS on page 10.
Note: The Glass Breakage Sensor is deactivated when the    
          panic alarm is on.  
 
Power restoration
If power to the system is interrupted while it is ARMED, an 
ALARM will be TRIGGERED immediately when power is 
restored.

ALARM INFORMATION
ALARM DESCRIPTIONS
Regular ALARM 
When an ALARM is triggered in any way other than initial detection by the GLASS \
BREAKAGE SENSOR, the following occur:
The horn sounds repeatedly for 60 seconds.   
The headlights flash repeatedly for 60 seconds.  
The tail and marker or turn signal lights flash repeatedly for 60 seconds.   
The starter is disabled (no engine start) until the system is DISARMED\
.  
The door lock will be relocked if someone reaches in and unlocks the ins\
ide   
lock button. 
After 60 seconds of ALARM, the system will REARM and continue to protect   
the vehicle.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WARN-AWAY ALARM 
Upon initial detection of noise from tapping on, or breaking glass, the \
GLASS 
BREAKAGE SENSOR TRIGGERS a WARN AWAY ALARM: The horn sounds repeatedly for 20 seconds.   
The headlights flash repeatedly for 20 seconds.  
The tail and marker or turn signal lights flash repeatedly for 20 seconds.
If the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR detects noise again, or if a door or trunk \
is 
opened while the system is still ARMED, the regular ALARM (described above) is 
activated. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
STOPPING AN ALARM  Simply DISARM the system using the remote control or key as described on\
 page 6.

GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR INFORMATION
The Scion Security provides protection for your vehicle above and beyond\
 entry point 
monitoring–it “listens” for the noise made by tapping on, or br\
eaking of glass. Using a 
microphone designed specifically for this task, the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR is 
capable of ignoring other noises, which helps to prevent “false alarm\
s” from occurring.
GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR CHECK PROCEDURE
When the Scion Security was installed in your vehicle, care was taken to\
 adjust the 
sensitivity level of the GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR. You may observe how it works 
following the procedure listed below. 
ARM the system. 
1. 
Press the lock button on the remote control or lock the doors 
with the key.
(Remember, the system will not ARM if any door, the trunk or 
hatch is open.)  
 
 
Wait until the STATUS MONITOR’S LED starts flashing. The 
2. 
LED will flash 30 seconds after the last door, the trunk or 
hatch is closed.
* for some vehicles the LED will turn off instead of flashing  after the 30 seconds. 
 
With the tip of a key, tap the center of the driver’s door  
3. 
window. Tap the glass with light to moderate force. 
WARNING: Do not hit the glass with excessive force, especially  in cold weather, or you may crack or break it. 
A WARN AWAY ALARM should be TRIGGERED. If the 
ALARM is not TRIGGERED, make sure you performed the 
procedure correctly and try again. If you find that the system 
did not perform as expected, contact your Scion dealer for 
more information.  
DISARM the system to stop the WARN AWAY ALARM. Press 
4. 
the unlock button
