PRIUS c_U (OM52E68U)The installation of a mobile two-way radi
o system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● 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.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.
Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record
certain data, such as:
• Engine speed
• Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position
• Hybrid battery (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

■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using cruise
control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and envi-
ronmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel consumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, drivi ng conditions and environmental fac-
tors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.
