  • Page 74 Driver’s SRS frontal airbag The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator oper- ates in different ways depending on the severity of impact. Have the system inspected by your Scion dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates. NOTE The driver’s SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are not con-...
  • Page 75 If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper function of the Scion advanced frontal airbag system. Have your vehicle inspected at your Scion dealer. Do not use the front passenger’s seat while driving the vehicle to your Scion dealer.

  • Page 78 If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the child/small adult in the rear seat and immediately contact your Scion dealer for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, it is recommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always take the rear seat.

  • Page 80 1-7. Safety information ■ Operation Driver's side SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs. After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to deflate immediately so that the driver’s vision is not obstructed. Passenger’s side SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs.
  • Page 81 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 passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the characteristic of the item(s) or person on the front passen- ger’s seat monitored by the front passenger’s occupant classification system...
  • Page 82 1-7. Safety information The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger’s 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.
  • Page 83 1-7. Safety information ■ Examples of the types of accidents in which it is possible that the driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will deploy Only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s 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...

  • Page 85 1-7. Safety information ■ Examples of the types of accidents in which the driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will basically not deploy The driver’s and front passenger’s 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.

  • Page 87 1-7. Safety information 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 occupant’s chest and waist.
  • Page 88 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 driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor.
  • Page 89 1-7. Safety information The SRS curtain shield airbag remains inflated for a while following deploy- ment then slowly deflates. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied. When the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released.
  • Page 90 1-7. Safety information The vehicle is involved in an oblique side- on impact. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the vicinity of the passenger compartment. The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle.
  • Page 91 1-7. Safety information ■ Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag will basically not deploy The vehicle is involved in frontal collision with another vehicle (moving or station- ary). The vehicle is struck from behind. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain shield airbag are not designed to deploy in most cases if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision or is struck from behind.

  • Page 95 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.
  • Page 96 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.
  • Page 97 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.

    2-5. Driving information Cargo and luggage 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.
  • Page 185 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.

  • Page 186 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.
  • Page 187 2-5. Driving information 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.
