For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to all models and all equipment, includ-

ing 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 illustrations may differ

from your vehicle in terms of 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 Toyota 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.

Modification 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.

18

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

● 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.

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 compo-

nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-

trol batteries.

19

Vehicle control and operation data recording

Your Scion is equipped with sophisticated computers that record certain

information about your vehicle’s operation, such as:

• Engine speed

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Shift position

The data recorded varies according to the grade level and options the vehi-

cle is equipped with. The computers do not record conversations, sound or

pictures.

● Data usage

Scion may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-

tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Scion will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if

the vehicle is leased

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-

ment agency

• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

vehicle owner

20

● Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of your

vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle

performance.

Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is an event data

recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or a near car crash event.

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car

crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information:

• Engine speed

• Whether the brake pedal was applied or not

• Vehicle speed

• To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed

• Position of the transmission shift lever

• Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not

• Driver’s seat position

• SRS airbag deployment data

• SRS airbag system diagnostic data

• Front passenger’s occupant classification

The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving

vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does

not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.

● Disclosure of the data

Scion will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except

when:

• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing company for a

leased vehicle) is obtained

• Officially requested by the police or other authorities

• Used as a defense for Scion in a lawsuit

• Ordered by a court of law

However, if necessary Scion will:

• Use the data for research on Scion vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

details of the vehicle owner, and only when it is deemed necessary

• Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification information to a

non-Scion organization for research purposes
