2016 Scion iA
Scion is an unconventional automotive brand that makes it easy
for social motivators to own a car that reflects who they are and
where they’re going.
All Scions have only one standard trim level (mono spec) and
are designed to be uniquely customized by the owner. As a
well-equipped mono spec model, iA has features like a standard
Low-speed Pre-Collision System,3rear view backup camera2and
a 7-inch touchscreen Display Audio System. Besides color, the
only other decisions buyers must make is whether they want
the optional automatic transmission or optional Display Audio
with Navigation SD card.
MONO
SPEC
Pure Price means the dealer’s advertised price is the price a
consumer pays. No haggle. No hassle. The idea applies to the
vehicle, parts, accessories, finance rates and service so no
negotiating is required. Pure Process is a stress-free car buying
experience and the foundation of Scion’s core values since it
first started.
Scion Service Boost is a complimentary plan covering normal
factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles,
whichever comes first, and two years of 24-hour Roadside
Assistance.4

PERFORMANCE
ENGINE
The iA’s spirited 1.5L engine
balances fuel efficiency and driving
performance using a high 12.0:1
compression ratio, direct injection
and reduced mechanical friction.
• Estimated fuel economy
(city/highway/combined):
– 6AT: 33/42/37
– 6MT: 31/41/35
Mpg estimates. Actual mileage will vary.

CHASSIS
The high torsional rigidity of iA’s chassis
contributes to handling performance and
precise steering. And with a high-strength body
structure, agility is engineered in, not just
added on using stiffer springs and shocks. The
high-strength structure is also a foundation
for safety.
STEERING
iA has a sport-tuned Electric Power Steering
(EPS) system that delivers precise steering, a
quick steering ratio, and less boost for more
road feel. The steering rack is solid-mounted
to the vehicle subframe, which increases
rigidity and linearity. Steering tuning is more in
line with a sport sedan than an economy car.
SUSPENSION
The MacPherson strut front suspension and
torsion beam rear suspension are tuned for a
balance of sporty handling and ride comfort
not normally associated with this segment.
BRAKES
iA provides progressive braking feel when
cornering. Entering the curve, the pedal
provides smooth operation then progresses
to a more rigid feel as G-force rises.
TRANSMISSIONS
6-SPEED MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
The low friction, compact and
lightweight six-speed manual
transmission has a short stroke
for shorter throws and a crisp,
precise shift feel.
6-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The lightweight, low friction
six-speed automatic transmission
delivers a smooth, powerful
standing start. Torque converter
lock-up can happen as low as
5 mph in first gear for improved
fuel economy, quicker acceleration
and more direct shifts. In fact,
acceleration feels equivalent to
a 1.8L engine and six-speed
manual transmission.
Sport mode delivers an even more
engaging experience by adjusting
throttle response and increasing
shift points for quicker initial
acceleration.

SAFETY
STANDARD LOW-SPEED PRE-COLLISION
SAFETY SYSTEM3
At speeds between 2 and 18 mph, a laser sensor
located near the rearview mirror detects a
vehicle or object ahead. The system provides
audible and visual warnings and pre-pressurizes
the brakes to apply full braking force in response
to the driver’s braking input. If the driver does
not perform any collision avoidance maneuver,
the system automatically applies the brakes and
slows the vehicle. This system is designed to
help reduce crash speed and damage in certain
frontal collisions only.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)9
When skidding is detected, DSC controls engine
output and the braking force applied to each
wheel to help the vehicle maintain stability even
when cornering on slippery roads or steering
suddenly to avoid hazards. For example, during
front wheel slip, the system reduces engine output
and brakes the inside wheels. During rear wheel
slip, the system brakes the outside wheels.
COMING HOME LIGHT SYSTEM
When exiting the vehicle, with the ignition
off, pulling the lighting control lever turns
the low beam headlights on. The headlights
automatically turn off 30 seconds after the
doors are closed. This feature enhances
safety by lighting the way when exiting the
vehicle at night.
The driver can turn the feature off or personalize
how long the headlights stay on through the
audio system’s Settings screen.
LEAVING HOME LIGHT SYSTEM
When pressing the transmitter Unlock button
(with the ignition switch off and the headlight
switch set to Headlights or Exterior
Lights/Dashboard Illumination), the low beam
headlights, parking lights, taillights and license
lights illuminate for 30 seconds. This feature
enhances safety by lighting the way to the
vehicle. The lights automatically turn off after
30 seconds, when no doors were opened, or
when the doors are locked.
The driver can turn the system off using the
audio system’s Settings screen.

1 MSRP excludes delivery, processing and handling fee. MSRP also excludes taxes, title, license and
optional equipment. Dealer price will vary.
2 The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You
should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance.
Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.
3 The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain front
collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive
driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions.
See your Owner’s Manual for further information.
4 Covers normal scheduled factory maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The new Scion vehicle cannot be part of a rental or commercial fleet, or a livery or taxi service. Valid
only in the continental U.S. and Alaska. See participating Scion dealer for coverage details.
Scion Service Boost Scheduled Factory Maintenance covers:
- Engine oil and filter change
- Tire rotation
- Complete Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection
Includes all other recommended services in the Maintenance Guide and excludes those items listed
under Special/Severe Operating Conditions. Additional services will vary depending on the vehicle.
24-Hour Roadside Assistance Includes:
- Battery jump starts
- Flat tire assistance
- Emergency fuel delivery
- Lockout protection
- Towing to closest Scion dealership
Includes emergency supply of fuel; does not include parts and other fluids.
5 Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution.
6 All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed
to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs
typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing
Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not
inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the
middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front
of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger
seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner’s Manual for
further information/warnings.
7 The Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal
tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely
on the monitor system. See your Owner’s Manual for details.
8 Dynamic Stability Control is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control
under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed,
road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether DSC will be effective in preventing a
loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details.
9 Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions at all times.
Always use safe driving practices and follow all traffic rules. Concentrating on the road should always
be your first priority while driving. Do not use the hands-free phone system if it will distract you.
10 Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the navigation system is dependent upon
many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services and programming
subject to change. Services not available in every city or roadway. Updates may be available from
your dealer at an additional cost. See your navigation system Owner’s Manual for details.
