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
● Toyota Safety Sense P (if equipped)
● Dynamic radar cruise control system (if equipped)
● Cruise control system (if equipped)
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary meas ures or spe-
cial instructions regarding instal lation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record
certain data, such as: • Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position
The  recorded  data  varies  according  to  the  vehicle  grade  level  and  options
with  which  it  is  equipped.  These  computers  do  not  record  conver sations  or
sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certai n situations.
●Data Transmission
Your  vehicle  may  transmit  the  data  recorded  in  these  computers  to Toyota
without notification to you.
●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 exc ept:
• 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 l aw or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For  research  purposes  where the  data is not  tied to  a  specific   vehicle  or
vehicle owner

Vehicle data recordings 

10
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-lik e  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  circu mstances  in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivi al crash situ-
ation  occurs;  no  data  are  recorded  by  the  EDR  under  normal  driv ing  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  routi nely  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 e quipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the  EDR.
●Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third  party except
when:
• An  agreement  from  the  vehicle’s  owner  (or  the  lessee  for  a  lea sed vehi-
cle) is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes witho ut disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
