When the anti-lock brake system (ABS) function is in

hear a noise. In this situation, to let the anti-lock
brake system work for you, just hold the brake pedal
down more firmly. Do not pump the brake as this will
result in reduced braking performance.

Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System
The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front, side and side curtain* airbags are designed to
help provide further protection for the driver, front
passenger and rear outside passengers in addition to
the primary safety protection provided by the seat
belts.
Please read the caution boxes below, and refer to
your Owner’s Manual for more details.
•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to
the primary protection of the seat belt systems of the
driver and front passenger. The front seat occupants are
particularly susceptible to injury if they do not wear their
seat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they
may be thrown forward. To obtain maximum protection in
an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle
should always wear their seat belts when driving because
serious injuries or death can result to unrestrained
occupants. For instructions and precautions concerning the
seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in the Owner’s Manual.
•Scion strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint
system on the rear seat that conforms to the size of the
child. According to accident statistics, a child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
•Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front
seat. The force of the rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.
•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front seat. If you must install
a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat,
move the seat as far back as possible.
•Make sure you have complied with all installation
instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer
and the system is properly secured.
•The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) are
designed to deploy in certain types of severe side impact
collisions. In all other collisions, the side and side curtain
airbags will not deploy. For instructions and precautions,
see your Owner’s Manual.
•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in
use. The side impact and side curtain airbags inflate with
considerable speed and force. Death or serious injury
could result.
•Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the front
seats. Such changes could disable the system or prevent
the airbags from activating correctly, resulting in death or
serious injury.
*If installed
