Important information about your Toyota

Occupant restraint systems

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to

read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In

terms of helping you understand how you can receive the

maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this

vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is

the most important Section for you and your family to

read.

Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern-

ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys-

tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you

should be aware of. These systems work together along

with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide

occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of

each system is enhanced when it is used properly and

together with other systems. No single occupant restraint

system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the

equal level of restraint which these systems can provide

when used together. That is why it is important for you and

your family to understand the purpose and proper use of

each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help

reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the

event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ-

ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the

event of collision. However, the more you know about

these systems and how to use them properly, the greater

your chances become of surviving an accident without

death or serious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of

the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear

seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be

secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for

their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)

airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with,

and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes

for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing

the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing

contact of the head, chest and knee with interior portions

of the vehicle.

’07Camry_U (L/O 0608)

iv

2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U)

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with

tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air-

bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources

of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an

airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has

been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the

time of deployment. This is just one example of how the

instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help

ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and

increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami-

ly in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section

1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time

of ownership of this vehicle.

Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer-

tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in

driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be-

sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a

system to record data in a crash or a near car crash

event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a

crash or a near car crash event, this device may record

some or all of the following information:

D Engine speed

D Whether the brake pedal was applied or not

D Vehicle speed

D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed

D Position of the transmission selector lever

D Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat

belts or not

D Driver’s seat position

D Front passenger’s occupant classification

’07Camry_U (L/O 0608)

v

2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U)

D SRS airbag deployment data

D SRS airbag system diagnostic data

If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control

(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may con-

tain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations

which include activating the VSC under which the VSC

EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may

record some or all of the following information:

D Behavior of the vehicle

D Steering wheel angle

D Vehicle speed

D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed

D To what extent the brake pedal was applied

D To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of

the 4 wheels

D Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data

The information above is intended to be used for the

purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike

general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound

data such as conversation between passengers.

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a

third party except when:

D An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas-

ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained

D Officially requested by the police or other authorities

D Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit

D Ordered by the court

However, if necessary Toyota will:

D Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety

performance

D Disclose the data to a third party for research pur-

poses without disclosing details of the vehicle owner,

and only when it is deemed necessary

D Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-

cation information to a non−Toyota organization for

research purposes

Accessories, spare parts and

modification of your Toyota

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 prod-

ucts and 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 could affect its performance, safety or durability,

and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-

tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the

modification may not be covered under warranty.

Spark ignition system of your Toyota

The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all require-

ments of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equipment

Standard.

Installation of a mobile

two−way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in

your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as

multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel

injection system, electronic throttle control system, cruise

control system, anti−lock brake system, traction control

system, vehicle stability control system, SRS airbag sys-

tem and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check

with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or

special instructions regarding installation.

Smart key system

Users of any electrical medical devices such as im-

planted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of

the device for information about its operation under the

influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-

pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.

For details, see “Keys” on page 16 in Section 1−2.

2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U)

Tires and loading on your

Toyota

Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the

excess load may result in the deterioration of

steering ability and braking ability, leading to an

accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-

cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in

this Owner’s Manual. For details about tire inflation

pressure and load limits, see pages 385 and 310.

Leak detection pump

This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This

check is done approximately five hours after the engine is

turned off. So you may hear sound coming from under-

neath the luggage compartment for several minutes. It

does not indicate a malfunction.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your

Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is

scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they

are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to

have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten-

sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service

shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your

vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate.

These components may include airbag, seat belt preten-

sioners, and wireless remote control batteries.
