head restraint before driving.
Make sure that the head restraints are
adjusted so that the center of the head
restraint is closest to the top your ears.

lock release button.
Rear center head restraint—When an oc-
cupant sits on the rear center seat, al-
ways pull up the rear center head re-
straint to the lock position.
The head restraint is most effective when
it is close to your head. Therefore, using
a cushion on the seatback is not recom-
mended.
The head restraints are specially designed
for the seats on which they are installed.
Removing the front head restraints1. Pull the head restraint up.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the head restraint installation hole with red
marking. (The other installation hole
has the lock release button.)
3. While pushing in the screwdriver, pull up the head restraint.CAUTION
The head restraints are designed to
help reduce risk of whiplash injury by
restraining the movement of the occu-
pant’s head in the event of a rear
collision.
Observe the following precautions re-
garding the head restraints. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious
injury.
Adjust the center of the head re-
straint so that it is closest to the
top of your ears.
Use the head restraint designed for
each respective seat.
After adjusting the head restraint,
make sure it is locked in position.
Do not drive with the head re-
straints removed.

When it is unavoidable to install the
forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (For the installation
order, see “—Installation with seat
belt” on page 69)
Do not remove the front seats.
Do not kick the front passenger
seat or subject it to severe impact.
Otherwise, the SRS warning light
may come on to indicate a malfunc-
tion of the detection system. In this
case, contact your Scion dealer im-
mediately.
The “AIR BAG ON” indicator light may be
illuminated (the front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the front passenger seat
may deploy) even if observing the above
cautions, when a child sits in, or a for-
ward −facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat. Re-
fer to all the cautions in “SRS airbags” on
page 46 and “Child restraint” described
below. Scion strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A.
now require the use of a child restraint
system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child s
hould sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” on
page 32 for details.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and
size of the child. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
Scion strongly urges use of a proper
child restraint system which con-
forms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. According
to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. In the event
of an accident, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious inju-
ry to the child if the rearfacing
child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat.
A forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to be installed
on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. Always move
the seat as far back as possible even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light
is illuminated, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with con-
siderable speed and force. Otherwise,
the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
