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.

Vehicle data recordings

Your Scion is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record

certain data, such as:

• Engine speed

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Shift position

The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options

with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con-

versations, sounds 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

19

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 vehicle’s 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 nontrivial crash situa-

tion 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.

20

● 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 vehicle’s 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 lawsuit

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

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.
