For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual covers all models and all equipment, including

options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not

installed on your vehicle.

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 illustrations may differ

from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota

vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that these

parts are not covered by Toyota warranty and that Toyota is not responsible

for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may

cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products.

Modification with non-genuine Toyota products may affect performance,

safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In

addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification

may not be covered under warranty.

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect

electronic systems such as:

● Cruise control system

● Anti-lock brake system

● SRS airbag system

● Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-

cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

19

Vehicle data recordings

Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record

certain data, such as:

• Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Shift position

• Traction battery status

The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options

with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con-

versations, sounds or pictures.

● Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-

tions, 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 govern-

ment agency

• For use by Toyota in a law suit

• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

vehicle owner

● Usage of data collected through Safety Connect

If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to those ser-

vices, please refer to the Safety Connect Telematics Subscription Service

Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.

20

Event data recorder

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-

pose 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 seconds 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/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-

ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-

tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are

recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine

the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely 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 manufacturer,

other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can

read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
