Scion iM_U (12J49U)The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
l
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
l Cruise control system
l Anti-lock brake system
l SRS airbag system
l Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Scion dealer for precautionary measures or spe-

Your Scion is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will rec\
ord
certain data, such as: • Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position (vehicles with a continuously variable transmission)
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.
lData usage
Scion may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Scion 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 Scion in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
