LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Event data recorder 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 desi gned to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short peri od 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/fastened;
• 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 nontrivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the ED R under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash locat ion) are reco rded. However,
other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data routinel y 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.

Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button start uses weak radio waves. In the fol-
lowing situations, the commu nication between the electr onic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the smart acce ss system with push -button start, wire-
less remote control and en gine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P. 872)●
When the electronic key battery is depleted ●
Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio st ation, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise●
When carrying a portable ra dio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication devices ●
When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic object
• Card to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs ●
When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity ●
When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby ●
When carrying or using the electronic key together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems ●
If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the rear
window
1301-7. Safety information
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) ●
The SRS front airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fix ed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which
can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which
the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck●
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate. ●
The SRS front airbags for the front passeng er will not activate if there is not a
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front airbags for the
front passenger may deploy if luggage is pu t in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield air-
bags) ●
The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of
an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an ap proximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approx imate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).●
The SRS curtain shield airbags will depl oy in the event of vehicle rollover.
