3. Make sure the outer seat belt passesthrough the hanger when folding the
seatback down.
This prevents the shoulder belt from being
damaged.
CAUTION
The seat belt must be removed from
the hanger when the seat belt is in
use.
NOTICE
The seat belt must be stowed before
you fold the seatback.
FOLDING REAR SEATS 1. Center seat: Lower the head restraint to the lowest position.
Side seats: Remove the head re-
straints.2. Pull the seat position adjusting leverup. Then slide the rear seat fully

As far as the seat belt extender on the
front passenger side is concerned, do not
fail to disconnect the extender from the
seat belt after the above operation in or-
der to activate the front passenger airbag
correctly when getting into the vehicle
next time.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt and the seat belt extend-
er are not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, immediately contact your
Scion dealer. Do not use the seat
until the seat belt is fixed, because
it cannot protect an adult occupant
or your child from death or serious
injury.
—Seat belt pretensioners
Both front seats are equipped with seat
belt pretensioners and are designed to
be activated in response to a severe
frontal impact.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal
impact, the front seat belts are quickly
drawn back by the retractors so that the
belts snugly restrain the occupants.

73
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 76)
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 52 and “Child restraint” described
below. Scion strongly urges the use of ap-
propriate child restraint systems for
children.
The laws of all 50 states of U.S.A. and
Canada 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 38 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.
