Airbag-Supplemental Restraint SystemThe Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)front, side and side curtain* airbags are designed tohelp provide further protection for the driver, front passenger and rear outside passengers in addition tothe primary safety protection provided by the seat belts.

Please read the caution boxes below, and refer toyour Owners Manual for more details.

The driver and front passenger airbag SupplementalRestraint System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement tothe primary protection of the seat belt systems of thedriver and front passenger. The front seat occupants areparticularly susceptible to injury if they do not wear theirseat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, theymay be thrown forward. To obtain maximum protection inan accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicleshould always wear their seat belts when driving becauseserious injuries or death can result to unrestrainedoccupants. For instructions and precautions concerning theseat belt system, see Seat belts in the Owners Manual.

Scion strongly urges the use of a proper child restraintsystem on the rear seat that conforms to the size of thechild. According to accident statistics, a child is safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.

Never use a rear-facing child restraint system in the frontseat. The force of the rapid inflation of the passengerairbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.

Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facingchild restraint system on the front seat. If you must installa forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat,move the seat as far back as possible.

Make sure you have complied with all installationinstructions provided by the child restraint manufacturerand the system is properly secured.

The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) aredesigned 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 Owners Manual.

Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is inuse. The side impact and side curtain airbags inflate withconsiderable speed and force. Death or serious injurycould result.

Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the frontseats. Such changes could disable the system or preventthe airbags from activating correctly, resulting in death orserious injury.
