For your information
Main Owners Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip- ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However, because of the Scion policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine
Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Scion
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Scion vehicles are currently available in the market. You should know that Scion does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Scion vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Scion products. Modifi- cation with non-genuine Scion products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.
15
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
SRS airbag system
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.
16
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur- pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicles systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating; Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-
tened; How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ- ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi- tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Scion will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:
An agreement from the vehicles owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is obtained
In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency
For use by Scion in a law suit However, if necessary, Scion may:
Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
17
Scrapping of your Scion
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Scion contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Scion dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.
CAUTION
General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi- cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis- tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
General precaution regarding childrens safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

CAUTION
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri- ous injury.
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
When opening or closing the trunk lid, 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 trunk is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it may move abruptly in strong wind.
Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Scion parts to the trunk lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid on an incline than on a level surface, so beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly opening or closing by itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
When closing the trunk lid, take extra care to prevent your fingers etc. from being caught.
When closing the trunk lid, make sure to press it lightly on its outer surface.

CAUTION
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.
After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.
Take care not to hit passengers with the seat. When sliding the seat rearward, make sure not to squash the legs of the rear passengers.
When returning the seatback upright, perform seatback angle adjustment while holding down the seatback.
Do not pull on or use the seat belt guide to adjust or fold the front seat.
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.
When driving the vehicle
Never operate the seatback angle adjustment lever or seatback fold strap. Doing so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around fully.
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (P. 111)
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult size.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 107)
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 40 regarding seat belt usage.

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli- sions.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Wearing a seat belt
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
Always wear a seat belt properly.
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, including children.
Scion recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

CAUTION
Pregnant women
People with a medical condition
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Scion dealer.
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 40)
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occu- pants. Extend the shoulder belt com- pletely over the shoulder and position the belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden braking or a colli- sion.

CAUTION
Seat belt damage and wear
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Replace a damaged seat belt immediately. Damaged seat belts can- not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Scion dealer.
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Scion dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
When using the seat belt guide
Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the guide.
Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seat belt guide button.
Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
Before using the rear seat belts
Always make sure that the seat belt is not caught in the seatback or twisted in one of the hooks that secure the seatback. Failure to do so may cause the seat belt to not be fastened correctly or to become ineffective in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury.

SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain
types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the
occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the
risk of death or serious injury.
SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is
used because the airbag system supplements the vehicles seat
belts.
Models with SRS airbags and seat belts for driver, front pas- senger, and window-side rear passengers
Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in addition to a seat belt at each front seating position and each rear window-side seating positions. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of six airbags. The configurations are as follows.

Drivers and front passengers frontal airbags
Drivers and front passengers side airbags
Curtain shield airbags (for driver, front passenger, and window- side rear passengers)
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the pri- mary protection provided by the seat belt. The system also controls front seat belt pretensioners. For opera- tion instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt preten- sioner, refer to Seat belt pretensioners. (P. 41)
66
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
SRS airbag
To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat belts when the vehi- cle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only to be a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seat belt. It does not eliminate the need to fasten seat belts. In combination with the seat belts, it offers the best combined protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the vehicle has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions concerning the seat belt system, refer to Seat belts. (P. 40)
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed - faster than the blink of an eye - and force to protect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your seat belt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in proper position such as one thrown forward during pre-accident braking.
Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occu- pant may suffer minor injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.
The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehi- cle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.
Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or between you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could be propelled inside the vehicle and cause injury.
67
1-7. Safety information

B efore driving
CAUTION
SRS airbag
Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater.
For that reason, we strongly recom- mend that ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have out- grown child restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seat belt, whichever is appropriate for the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, chil- dren are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
For instructions and precautions con- cerning the child restraint system, refer to Child restraint systems. (P. 107)
68
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
SRS airbag
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passengers seat, or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child.
When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathing prob- lems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly.
A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get burned if they come into direct contact with the hot gas.

The front passengers SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact. The occupant classification system sensor is installed under the seat uphol- stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the front passengers SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not. The occupant classification system may not inflate the front passengers SRS frontal airbag even when the drivers SRS frontal airbag deploys. This is normal. In this case, although the front passengers SRS frontal airbag does not operate, the front passengers seat belt pretensioner operates with the drivers seat belt pretensioner. For details about the seat belt preten- sioner, refer to Seat belt pretensioners. (P. 41)
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Scion advanced frontal airbag system from functioning correctly or cause the sys- tem to fail.
Do not apply any strong impact to the front passengers seat.
Do not spill liquid on the front passengers seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off immediately.
Do not remove or disassemble the front passengers seat.
Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a genuine Scion accessory under the front passengers seat.
Do not place anything (shoes, umbrella, etc.) under the front passengers seat.
Do not place a magnet near the seat belt buckle.

Occupant classification system
The occupant classification system sensor is installed under the seat uphol- stery and monitors the physique and posture of the front passenger. Using this information, the occupant classification system determines whether the front passengers SRS frontal airbag should be deployed or not. If the front passengers seat cushion is wet, this may adversely affect the ability of the system to determine deployment. If the seat cushion is wet, the front passenger should stop sitting on the front passengers seat. Wipe off liquid from the seat immediately, let the seat dry naturally and then check the SRS warning light as follows.
If the SRS warning light illuminates, keep the seat dry until the warning light turns off. If the SRS warning light stays on even when the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passengers seat and have the system checked by your Scion dealer.
If the SRS warning light does not illuminate, check that the front passen- gers frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators work properly. If the indicators do not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit on the front passengers seat and have the system checked by your Scion dealer.

B efore driving
The SRS airbag can function only when the engine switch is in the ON position.
The Scion advanced frontal airbag system is designed to determine the acti- vation or deactivation condition of the front passengers SRS frontal airbag depending on the characteristic of the item(s) or person on the front passen- gers seat monitored by the front passengers occupant classification system sensor. For this reason, only the drivers SRS frontal airbag may deploy in the event of a collision, but this does not mean failure of the system.
If the front sub sensors and the impact sensors in the airbag control module detect a predetermined amount of force during a frontal collision, the control module sends signals to the airbag module(s) (only drivers module or both drivers and front passengers modules) instructing the module(s) to inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).
The drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags use dual stage infla- tors. The two inflators of each airbag are triggered either sequentially or simultaneously, depending on the severity of impact, in the case of the drivers SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of impact and the characteristic of the item(s) or person on the seat in the case of the front passengers SRS frontal airbag.
After deployment, the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the drivers vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting impact to the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.
Both when only the drivers SRS frontal airbag deploys and the drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags deploy, the drivers and front passen- gers seat belt pretensioners operate at the same time.
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non- accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver's ability to maintain con- trol of the vehicle.
When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
80
1-7. Safety information
The drivers SRS frontal airbag and front passengers SRS frontal airbag are designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe frontal collision. They are not designed to deploy in most lesser fron- tal impacts because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seat belt alone. Also, they are not designed to deploy in most side or rear impacts or in most roll-over accidents because deployment of only the drivers SRS frontal airbag or both drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags would not help the occupant in those situations. The drivers and front pas- sengers SRS frontal airbags are designed to function on a one-time-only basis.
SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in the passenger compartment during a collision. That level differs from one type of collision to another, and it may have no bearing on the visible damage done to the vehicle itself.
Example of accident in which the drivers/drivers and front passen- gers SRS frontal airbag(s) will most likely deploy
A head-on collision against a thick concrete wall at a vehicle speeds of 12 to 19 mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates only the drivers SRS frontal air- bag or both drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags. The airbag(s) will also be activated when the vehicle is exposed to a frontal impact similar in fashion and magnitude to the collision described above.

There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require deployment of drivers/drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbag(s). In the event of accidents like those illustrated, the drivers/drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbag(s) may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved.
Only the drivers SRS frontal airbag or both drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags may be activated when the vehicle sustains a hard impact in the undercarriage area from the road surface (such as when the vehicle plunges into a deep ditch, is severely impacted or knocked hard against an obstacle on the road such as a curb).

The drivers and front passengers SRS frontal airbags are designed not to deploy in most cases if the vehicle is struck from the side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its side or roof, or if it is involved in a low- speed frontal collision.
First impact
Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more than once, the drivers and/or front passengers SRS frontal air- bag(s) will deploy only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double colli- sion, first with another vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immediate suc- cession, once either or both of the drivers and front passengers SRS frontal air- bags is/are activated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the second impact.
84
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
If the SRS airbags deploy
Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.
Child restraint precautions
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT EVEN IF THE FRONT PASSENGERS SRS FRON- TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be sure to install it in the REAR seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recommended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be installed in the REAR seat, and that even chil- dren who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the REAR seat. This is because children sitting in the front passengers seat may be killed or severely injured should the front passengers SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest place for children.

SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat seatback, which bears an SRS AIRBAG label.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door panel and supplements the seat belt by reducing the impact on the occupants chest and waist. The SRS side airbag operates only for front seat occupants.
The SRS curtain shield airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An SRS AIRBAG mark is located at the top of each front and rear pillar. In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain shield airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occu- pant and the side window and supplements the seat belt by reducing the impact on the occupants head.
86
1-7. Safety information
Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag can function only when the engine switch is in the ON position.
The drivers and front passengers SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploys independently of the drivers and front passengers SRS front airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen- sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the center of the rear seats.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and one of the center pillar impact sensors or door impact sensors together sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house impact sensor on the same side senses an impact.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and one of the rear wheel house impact sensors together sense an impact force above a predetermined level, the control module causes only the SRS cur- tain shield airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The time required from detection of an impact to deflation of an SRS side airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.

CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises:
Since the risk zone for the drivers airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.
93

B efore driving
CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air- bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Scion strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 107)
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
94
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars.
Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
Do not attach anything to or lean any- thing against areas such as the dash- board or steering wheel pad. These items can become projectiles when SRS driver and front passenger airbags deploy.

B efore driving
CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air- bag components (P. 69). Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air- bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Scion dealer.
Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield glass, side door glass, rear quarter glass, front and rear pillar or roof side rail.

*6: When a child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat, do not place any article on the seat other than the child occupant and a child restraint system. Failure to do so may prevent the front passenger occupant classi- fication system from functioning correctly or cause the system to fail.
*7: Do not place more than one child on the front passenger seat. Failure to do so may prevent the front passenger occupant classi- fication system from functioning correctly.
*8: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas- senger seat. See the caution that follows regarding installation of a child restraint system. (P. 111)
*9: In case the indicator is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to installing the child restraint system properly. (P. 111)

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding front passenger occupant clas- sification system. Failure to do so may cause the occupant classification system to not function correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
Wear the seat belt properly.
Do not apply excessive force to the seat.
Do not put sharp object(s) on the seat or pierce the seat upholstery.
Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers the seat cushion surface.
Do not spill liquid on the front passenger seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off immediately and dry the seat. If the airbag warning light illuminates, dry the seat until the warning light turns off. If the airbag warning light stays on even when the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to sit on the front pas- senger seat and have the system checked by your Scion dealer. If the air- bag warning light does not illuminate, check that the airbag ON/OFF indicator light works properly. If the indicator light does not work properly, do not allow anyone to sit in the front passengers seat and have the sys- tem inspected by your Scion dealer.
Do not remove or disassemble the front passenger seat. Also, do not replace or modify the seat upholstery or foam inside the seat.
Do not install any accessory (such as an audio amplifier) other than a gen- uine Scion accessory under the front passengers seat.
Do not place a magnetized items near the seat belt buckle.

1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Never install a rearward facing child seat in the front passengers seat even if the front passengers SRS frontal airbag is deactivated. Be sure to install it in the rear seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recom- mended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be installed in the rear seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint system be also seated in the rear seat. This is because children sitting in the front passengers seat may be killed or severely injured should the front passengers SRS frontal airbag deploy. Scion believes that the rear seats are the safest place for children
If luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger seat, the OFF indicator may turn off and the ON indicator may illuminate. If this occurs, the front passengers airbag may deploy during a collision. If this is not desirable, remove the luggage or electronic devices from the front pas- senger seat.
Modifications for persons with disabilities that may affect the front passen- ger occupant classification system. (U.S. only) Removing, replacing or modifying any parts of the front seats, seat belts, front bumper, front side frame, instrument panel, combination meter, steering wheel, steering col- umn, tires, suspension or floor panel can affect the operation of the Scion front passenger occupant classification system.

Child restraint systems
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appropriate to the age and size of the child.
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 111)
Types of child restraints
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child.
Rear facing Infant seat/convertible seat
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-
erly restrained on the seat with the LATCH anchors or the lap portion
of the lap/shoulder belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the
use of child restraint systems.
108
1-7. Safety information
Forward facing Convertible seat
Booster seat
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicles seat belt.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle's seat belt. (P. 40)
109
1-7. Safety information

B efore driving
CAUTION
Child restraint precautions
For effective protection in automobile 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 accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior.
Scion strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illumi- nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
110
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
Child restraint precautions
Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a childs neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
When the child restraint system is not in use
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart- ment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

B efore driving
CAUTION
When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 42)
When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passengers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
If the drivers seat interferes with the child restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the right- hand rear seat.
Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the child restraint system.
Only put a forward facing child restraint system on the front seat when unavoid- able. When installing a forward facing child restraint system on the front pas- senger seat, move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
120
1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure that it has been securely installed.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emer- gency.
Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or slow.
Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are replaced with new ones.
Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when- ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Scion dealer perform the bedding down.
After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi- ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a malfunction.
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. (P. 347)
REV indicator
When the set engine speed is reached the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer sounds to inform the driver. (P. 161)
(When the engine speed enters the red zone, the REV indicator flashes regard- less of settings.)
126
2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
When starting the vehicle (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may increase immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditioning system is operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causing creeping to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When driving the vehicle
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel- erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and acceler- ator pedals properly.
Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result- ing in an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials. The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
On vehicles with an automatic 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.
If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and check that the trunk is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer immedi- ately.

CAUTION
On vehicles with a manual transmission, 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.
Do not shift the shift lever to D (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or 1 (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehicle is moving back- ward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not release the clutch pedal too quickly. Doing so may propel the vehicle forward, possibly causing an accident.
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.
During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 341
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. (P. 139, 145)
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents, resulting in death or serious injury.
128
2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per- mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high- speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
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, resulting in an accident.
When shifting the shift lever
On vehicles with an automatic 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.
Do not place items in the shift lever's surrounding area. It may cause incor- rect operation.
If the shift boot is pulled out during cleaning, return it to its previous posi- tion. If the shift boot is left pulled out, the shift lever may become difficult to operate.

CAUTION
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica- tors)
Have your Scion dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as possi- ble. 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.
When the vehicle is stopped
Do not race the engine. If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (vehicles with an automatic trans- mission only) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
On vehicles with an automatic 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.
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.
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 combustible material is nearby.

2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
When the vehicle is parked
Do 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 vehi- cle's electrical components.
Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
Do not attach suction cups to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Suction cups or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (vehicles with an automatic transmission only), stop the engine and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine off. Doing so may cause burns.
Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

Exhaust gases
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. In a closed area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
The exhaust system should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Scion dealer. Failure to do so may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

CAUTION
When braking
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

When driving the vehicle
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Vehicles with a manual transmission
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shifting, do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off and mov- ing forward. Doing so may damage the clutch.
Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill grade. Doing so may damage the clutch.
Do not shift the shift lever to R when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
Do not release the clutch pedal too quickly. Doing so may damage the transmission.
When parking the vehicle (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
Always shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci- dentally depressed.

NOTICE
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not race the engine for more than 5 seconds in any position except the N or P position when the brake is applied or when chocks are used in the wheels. This may cause the transmission fluid to overheat.
If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
The vehicle will lean abnormally.

Driving assist systems
When the TRAC/VSC systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the TRAC (brake LSD function)/VSC systems are oper- ating.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road surfaces
TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin- ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads. The TRAC system is also equipped with the brake LSD function.
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel

Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC and VSC systems
A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering. A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop. The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated. The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati- cally reactivated in the following situations:
When the engine switch is turned to LOCK position
If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed is more than approximately 31 mph (50 km/h). If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reactivation will not occur when vehicle speed increases.

2-4. Using other driving systems
Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off. The EPS system should return to normal after a little while.
Automatic deactivation of VSC SPORT mode
When the engine switch is turned to LOCK position after driving in VSC SPORT mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.
CAUTION
The ABS does not operate effectively when
Tires with inadequate gripping ability are used (such as excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).

Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor- mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicles stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you in the following situ- ations:
When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains
When driving over bumps in the road
When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
TRAC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip- pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating. Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.

Cargo and luggage
Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) - (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1)Locate the statement The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs. on your vehicle's placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3)Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug- gage load capacity.
For example, if the XXX amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5)Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the avail- able cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Take notice of the following information about storage precau-
tions, cargo capacity and load:
Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
Be sure all items are secured in place.
To maintain vehicle balance while driving, position luggage evenly within the luggage compartment.
For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

(6)If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
(P. 344)
Scion does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing.
Calculation formula for your vehicle
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) (P. 344)
When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) of B lb. (kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb. (kg)
*1: A =Weight of people *2: B =Total load capacity *3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 2 more passengers with the combined weight of D lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb. (kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people *5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
184
2-5. Driving information
As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.
CAUTION
Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
Receptacles containing gasoline
Aerosol cans

CAUTION
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible.
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly behind the front seats.
Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts prop- erly fastened. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the item may get under the clutch, brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, block the drivers vision, or hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident:
At the feet of the driver On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items) On the package tray On the instrument panel On the dashboard
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure someone during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci- dent.
Capacity and distribution
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight rating.
Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION
Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle. It may not only cause damage to the tires, but also degrade steering and braking ability, resulting in an accident.
Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity,
towing capacity and cargo capacity.
Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight): (P. 344)
Total load capacity means the combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage.
Seating capacity
Seating capacity means the maximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem- peratures.
Engine oil Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that all 4 tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread pattern.
Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions.
Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.
Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated on the exterior lights, vehicle's roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the vehicle.
188
2-5. Driving information
If a door is opened and closed when its side window is frozen, the window safety device will operate and the side window open/close function linked to door operation may not operate correctly. If this occurs, perform the following after the ice has melted.
Open the side window until it is approximately halfway open.
Fully close the window by pulling the switch up to the one- touch closing position and continue holding the switch for 1 second or more after the window fully closes.
The window position is reset and the safety device operations will be released.
When driving the vehicle

Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs
Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which
include OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system moni-
tors the operation of the emission control system.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
The OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere in the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/ M test and may need to be repaired. Contact your Scion dealer to service the vehicle.
Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test:
When the battery is disconnected or discharged
Readiness codes that are set during ordinary driving are erased. Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes may not be completely set.
When the fuel tank cap is loose
The malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a temporary mal- function and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after several driving trips
The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the vehicle is driven 40 or more times.

Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Scion dealer. (P. 257)
Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your Scion dealer.

When to replace your vehicles tires
Tires should be replaced if:
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Scion dealer.
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
Low profile tires
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip perfor- mance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.

Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3 Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con- struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (P. 187)
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. (P. 360)

CAUTION
Tire pressure warning system operation
The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately if a tire bursts or if sudden air leakage occurs.
When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train, as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that all 4 tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread pattern.
Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Scion.
Only use radial tires.
Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle. Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
NOTICE
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters and tire valve caps
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, contact your Scion dealer as the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled cor- rectly.
Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the tire pressure warning valves could be bound.
When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those specified. The cap may become stuck.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Scion dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (P. 257)
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot holes. These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicles wheels and body.
Low profile tires and wheels
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel when receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay attention to the following:
Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may be damaged more severely.
Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
Reduced fuel efficiency
Reduced driving comfort and tire life
Reduced safety
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Scion dealer.
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Always use a tire pressure gauge. The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire infla- tion pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.
Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
266
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
CAUTION
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur and result in an accident causing death or serious injury.
Excessive wear
Uneven wear
Poor handling
Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
Poor sealing of the tire bead
Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards
NOTICE
When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps have been lost, replace them as soon as possible.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause loss of handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width, and inset*. Replacement wheels are available at your Scion dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Scion does not recommend using:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been straightened
Aluminum wheel precautions
Use only Scion wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.
Use only Scion genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
268
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your Scion are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. When- ever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters must be installed. (P. 257)
CAUTION
When replacing wheels
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the Owners Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri- ous injury.
When installing the wheel nuts
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered ends facing inward. Installing the nuts with the tapered ends facing outward can cause the wheel to break and eventually cause the wheel to come off while driving, which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
When changing the back-up lights
Stop the engine and wait until the exhaust pipe has cooled sufficiently. The lights are located near the exhaust pipe and touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

If your vehicle needs to be towed
Before towing
The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact your Scion dealer before towing.
The engine is running, but the vehicle will not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.
Emergency towing
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads for short distances at low speeds. A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The vehicles wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in good condition.
For vehicles with an automatic transmission, only the front towing eyelet may be used.
If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by
your Scion dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type
truck or a flat bed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
If towing from the rear, the vehicle's front wheels and axles must be
in good condition. (P. 304)
If they are damaged, use a towing dolly or flat bed truck.

Towing eyelet
Before emergency towing
Release the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to N.
Turn the engine switch to the ACC (engine off) or ON (engine running) position.
If towing a vehicle
Do not tow another vehicle. If towing a vehicle that has broken down is unavoidable, avoid towing a vehicle that is heavier than your vehicle. Also, do not pull out a vehicle that has fallen into a ditch.
CAUTION
Caution while towing
Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelets and the cables or chains. Always be cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.

CAUTION
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres- sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Scion dealer.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
316
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ- ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub- stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat- ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi- cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi- nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari- ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres- sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter- nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly.

The following procedures may be used to start the engine if the vehi-
cle's battery is discharged.
You can call your Scion dealer or a qualified repair shop.
If you have a set of jumper (or booster) cables and a second vehi- cle with a 12-volt battery, you can jump start your vehicle following the steps below.
Connect the jumper cables according to the following pro- cedures:
Positive (+) battery terminal on your vehicle
Positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle
Negative (-) battery terminal on the second vehicle
Connect the jumper cable to ground on your vehicle as shown in the illustration.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the battery of your vehicle.

Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
Avoiding a discharged battery
Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is off.
Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run- ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer- tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn the engine switch to the ON position, then start the vehi- cle's engine.
Once the vehicles engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con- nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle checked at your Scion dealer as soon as possible.

CAUTION
Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam- mable gas that may be emitted from the battery.
Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not unintentionally in contact with any part other than the intended termi- nal.
Do not allow the jumper cables to come into contact with the + and - ter- minals.
Do not allow open flame or use matches, cigarette lighters or smoke near the battery.
Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre- cautions when handling the battery.
When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
Do not lean over the battery.
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received.
Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts.
Do not allow children near the battery.
To prevent damage to the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle as the three-way catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard.

When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables do not become tangled in the cooling fans or any of the belts when connecting or disconnecting them.
When closing the doors
While pushing the door glass towards the inside of the vehicle, slowly close the door. Because the side window open/close function linked to door operation will not operate, the window may interfere with the vehicle body, possibly scratching both the vehicle body and window, or even shattering the window.

If your vehicle overheats
If your engine overheats:
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi- tioning system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood.
If you see steam: Stop the engine. Carefully lift the hood after the steam sub- sides and then restart the engine.
If you do not see steam: Leave the engine running and carefully lift the hood.
Check to see if the cooling fan is operating.
If the fan is operating: Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the instrument cluster) begins to fall and then stop the engine.
If the fan is not operating: Stop the engine and call your Scion dealer.
After the engine has cooled down sufficiently, check the engine coolant level and inspect the radiator core (radi- ator) for any leaks.

Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating.
The engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone or a loss of power is experienced.
Steam is coming from under the hood.
CAUTION
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus- ing serious injury such as burns.
Keep hands and clothing away from the fan and other belts while the engine is running.
Do not loosen the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam released under pressure.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.
The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

Fuel information
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Scion has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
If your engine knocks
Consult your Scion dealer.
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler- ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
The engine is designed to operate at maximum performance using
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 93 (98 RON) or higher. If
an octane rating of 93 (98 RON) fuel is not readily available in your
area, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (95 RON) may be
used with no detriment to engine durability or driveability. However,
you may notice a slight decrease in maximum engine performance
and you may hear some knocking (pinking) of an engine while using
an octane rating of 91 (95 RON) fuel. Use of an octane rating of 91 (95
RON) fuel will not affect your warranty coverage.

Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas- oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Scion dealer.
Fuel octane rating
This octane rating is the average of the Research Octane and Motor Octane numbers and is commonly referred to as the Anti Knock Index. Using a gasoline with a lower octane rating can cause persistent and heavy knocking, which can damage the engine. Do not be concerned if your vehi- cle sometimes knocks lightly when you drive up a hill or when you acceler- ate. Contact your Scion dealer if you use a fuel with the specified octane rating and your vehicle knocks heavily or persistently.
Gasoline for California-certified LEV
If your vehicle was certified to Californias low emission vehicle (LEV) stan- dards as indicated on the underhood tune-up label, it is designed to optimize engine and emission performance with gasoline that meets the clean burn- ing low-sulfur California gasoline specifications. If you live in any other state than California, your vehicle will operate on gasoline meeting Federal speci- fications. Gasoline sold outside California is permitted to have higher sulfur levels, which may affect the performance of your vehicles catalytic converter and may produce a sulfur exhaust odor or smell. Scion recommends that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur to deter- mine if the problem is fuel related before returning your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for service.

Scion recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build-up of engine deposits.
All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPAs lowest additives con- centration program.
Scion strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.
Scion recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many areas.
Scion recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
Scion does not recommend blended gasoline
If you use gasohol in your Scion, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 93.
Scion DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
Use only gasoline containing a maxi- mum of 10% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline that could contain more than 10% etha- nol, including from any pump labeled E15, E30, E50, E85 (which are only some examples of fuel containing more than 10% ethanol).

The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens, contact your Scion dealer for service.
NOTICE
Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be damaged.
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicles three-way catalytic converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
Do not use gasohol other than that stated here. Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking. At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
Fuel-related poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.
When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle's paint.

Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci- fied government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they represent the tires ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn- ing) traction.
Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, represent- ing the tires resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a speci- fied indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo- ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
366
6-1. Specifications
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa- rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire fail- ure.

Ne pas porter la ceinture de scurit augmente les risques de blessures
graves ou mortelles lors dun accident, mme lorsque le vhicule est
quip du systme de coussins gonflables SRS.
Pour obtenir des instructions et des avis de prcautions concernant le
systme de ceintures de scurit, reportez-vous Ceintures de scurit.
Ne vous asseyez pas et ne vous penchez pas de faon tre inutilement
proche du coussin gonflable SRS. Parce que le coussin gonflable SRS se
dploie une vitesse considrable - plus vite quun clignement dil - et
avec une puissance conue pour protger des collisions haute vitesse,
la puissance de dploiement dun coussin gonflable peut blesser un
occupant dont le corps est trop proche du coussin gonflable SRS.
Il est galement important de porter votre ceinture de scurit pour
prvenir les blessures qui peuvent survenir lorsque le coussin gonflable
SRS entre en contact avec un occupant qui ne serait pas assis dans la
position adquate, tel quun occupant qui aurait t projet vers lavant

correcte, lorsque le coussin gonflable SRS se dploie, peuvent subir des
blessures trs graves. Parce que le coussin gonflable SRS ncessite un
espace suffisant pour se dployer, le conducteur doit toujours se tenir droit
et bien enfonc dans son sige, aussi loign que possible du volant tout
en gardant le contrle total du vhicule. Le passager avant doit reculer son
sige aussi loin que possible, se tenir droit et bien enfonc dans son

gonflable SRS se dploie avec une
vitesse et une force considrables, et peut blesser et mme tuer les enfants,
particulirement sils ont 12 ans ou
moins et quils ne sont pas ou mal retenus. Parce que les enfants sont
plus lgers et plus faibles que les
adultes, le risque quils courent dtre blesss par le dploiement du coussin
gonflable SRS est plus important.
Pour cette raison, nous recommandons
fortement que TOUS les enfants (y compris ceux assis dans des siges
pour enfants ainsi que ceux tant trop
grands pour les siges de scurit enfants) s'assoient dans les siges
ARRIRE, correctement attachs en
toutes circonstances avec un systme de retenue pour enfant ou une ceinture

Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 2 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) de dploiement, vous
placer 10 in. (250 mm) de votre coussin gonflable conducteur vous
garantit une marge de scurit suffisante. Cette distance est mesurer
entre laxe du volant et le sternum. Si vous tes assis moins de 10 in.
(250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de plusieurs
faons:
Reculez votre sige le plus possible, de manire pouvoir encore
atteindre confortablement les pdales.
Inclinez lgrement le dossier du sige. Bien que les conceptions des
vhicules varient, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent sasseoir une
distance de 10 in. (250 mm), mme avec le sige conducteur
compltement avanc, simplement en inclinant un peu le dossier de
sige. Si vous avez des difficults voir la route aprs avoir inclin
votre sige, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidrapant pour vous
rehausser ou, si votre vhicule est quip du rglage en hauteur du
sige, remontez-le.
Si votre volant est rglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela a pour effet
dorienter le coussin gonflable en direction de votre poitrine plutt que
