Please note that this manual

applies to all models and

explains all equipment, including

options. Therefore, you may find

some explanations for equip-

ment not installed on your vehi-

cle.

All specifications provided in this

manual are current at the time of

printing. However, because of

the Toyota 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 illustra-

tions may differ from your vehi-

cle in terms of equipment.

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 mal-

function.

A wide variety of non-genuine

spare parts and accessories for

Toyota vehicles are currently

available in the market. You

should know that Toyota does

not warrant these products and

is not responsible for their per-

formance, repair, or replace-

ment, or for any damage they

may cause to, or adverse effect

they may have on, your Toyota

vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modi-

fied with non-genuine Toyota

products. Modification with non-

genuine Toyota products could

affect its performance, safety or

durability, and may even violate

governmental regulations. In

addition, damage or perfor-

mance problems resulting from

the modification may not be cov-

ered under warranty.

The installation of a mobile two-

way radio system in your vehicle

could affect electronic systems

such as:

 Multiport fuel injection sys-

tem/sequential multiport fuel

injection system

 Toyota Safety Sense 2.0

For your information

 Anti-lock brake system

 SRS airbag system

 Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toy-

ota dealer for precautionary

measures or special instructions

regarding installation of a mobile

two-way radio system.

The vehicle is equipped with

sophisticated computers that will

record certain data, such as:

The recorded data varies

according to the vehicle grade

level and options with which it is

equipped. These computers do

not record conversations or

sounds, and only record images

outside of the vehicle in certain

situations.

• Engine speed/ Electric motor

speed (traction motor speed)

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Operation status of the driving

assist systems, such as the

ABS and pre-collision system

• Images from the front camera

(available only when certain

safety systems are activated,

which varies depending on

the vehicle specifications).

 Data Transmission

Your vehicle may transmit the data

recorded in these computers to

Toyota without notification to you.

 Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded

in this computer to diagnose mal-

functions, conduct research and

development, and improve quality.

Toyota 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

government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

• For research purposes where the

data is not tied to a specific vehi-

cle or vehicle owner

 Recorded image information

can be erased by your Toyota

dealer.

The image recording function can

be disabled.

However, if the function is disabled,

data from when the pre-collision

system operates will not be avail-

able.

 To learn more about the vehi-

cle data collected, used and

shared by Toyota, please visit

.

If your Toyota has Safety Con-

nect and if you have subscribed

to those services, please refer to

the Safety Connect Telematics

Vehicle data recordings

Usage of data collected

through Safety Connect

(U.S.mainland only)

10

Subscription Service Agreement

for information on data collected

and its usage.

This vehicle is equipped with an

event data recorder (EDR). The

main purpose 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 sec-

onds 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/fastened;

 How far (if at all) the driver

was depressing the accelera-

tor and/or brake pedal; and,

 How fast the vehicle was trav-

eling.

These data can help provide a

better understanding of the cir-

cumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded

by your vehicle only if a non-triv-

ial crash situation occurs; no

data are recorded by the EDR

under normal driving conditions

and no personal data (e.g.,

name, gender, age, and crash

location) are recorded. How-

ever, other parties, such as law

enforcement, could combine the

EDR data with the type of per-

sonally identifying data rou-

tinely 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 manufac-

turer, other parties, such as law

enforcement, that have the spe-

cial equipment, can read the

information if they have access

to the vehicle or the EDR.

 Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota 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

government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

However, if necessary, Toyota may:

• Use the data for research on

vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party

for research purposes without

Event data recorder

11

disclosing information about the

specific vehicle or vehicle owner

The SRS airbag and seat belt

pretensioner devices in your

Toyota contain explosive chemi-

cals. 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 sys-

tems of the SRS airbag and seat

belt pretensioner removed and

disposed of by a qualified ser-

vice shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your

vehicle.

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard-

ouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components

that may contain perchlorate.

These components may include

airbag, seat belt pretensioners,

and wireless remote control bat-

teries.

Scrapping of your Toyota

Perchlorate Material

WARNING

■ General precautions while

driving

Driving under the influence: Never

drive your vehicle when under the

influence of alcohol or drugs that

have impaired your ability to oper-

ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-

tain drugs delay reaction time,

impair judgment and reduce coor-

dination, which could lead to an

accident that could result in death

or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive

defensively. Anticipate mistakes

that other drivers or pedestrians

might make and be ready to avoid

accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give

your full attention to driving. Any-

thing that distracts the driver, such

as adjusting controls, talking on a

cellular phone or reading can

result in a collision with resulting

death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding

children’s safety

Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle, and never allow

children to have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the

vehicle or shift the vehicle into

neutral. There is also a danger

that children may injure them-

selves by playing with the side

windows, the moon roof or the

panoramic moon roof, or other

features of the vehicle. In addi-

tion, heat build-up or extremely

cold temperatures inside the vehi-

cle can be fatal to children.
