manufacturer of your vehicles una-
ble to recognise legal claims based 
on discrepancies between the data, 
illustrations and descriptions in this 
Owner's Manual and your own 
vehicle's equipment. Please note, 
too, that some of the optional 
equipment described in this manual 
is not available on Australian mod-
els due to restrictions imposed by 
Australian Design Rules and other 
requirements.
Should you require any further 
information, please contact your 
Service centre, who will be pleased 
to advise you.
Please comply with the following 
when using the vehicle:
• Owner's Manual.
• Information on the vehicle. Do 
not remove stickers.
• Technical data of the vehicle.
• The applicable laws and safety 
standards of the country in which 
the vehicle is used.
• Vehicle papers and legal docu-
ments.
Your vehicle is technically designed 
for the operating conditions and 
approval requirements prevalent in 
the country to which it was first delivered - homologation. If your 
vehicle is to be operated in another 
country, it may have to be adapted 
be forehand to any prevailing differ-
ent operating conditions and 
approval requirements. If your vehi-
cle does not comply with the 
homologation requirements in a 
certain country, you cannot lodge 
warranty claims for your vehicle 
there. Any  authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer is 
able to provide further information.
The advanced technology used in 
your vehicle, for example the 
state-of-the-art materials and 
high-performance electronics, 
requires appropriate maintenance 
and repair methods.
Consequently, the manufacturer of 
your vehicle recommends having 
corresponding work carried out by 
Toyota. If you choose to use 
another specialist workshop, 
Toyota recommends using one that

Work performed incorrectly on the 
vehicle paintwork can cause the radar 
sensors to fail or malfunction, result-
ing in a safety risk. There is a danger 
of accidents or damage to property. 
For vehicles with radar sensors, only

performs work such as mainte-
nance and repair according to 
Toyota specifications with properly 
trained personnel. In this Owner's 
Manual, facilities of this kind are 
referred to as "any reliable repairer 
or other qualified service shop".
If such work, for example mainte-
nance and repair, is performed 
inexpertly, it could result in conse-
quential damage and thus consti-
tute a safety risk.
Toyota recommends using parts 
and accessories that are specifi-
cally approved for this purpose by 
To y o t a .
You are recommended to consult 
Toyota for advice on genuine 
Toyota parts and accessories, other 
Toyota approved products and 
expert advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of 
these products in conjunction with 
Toyota vehicles have been checked 
by Toyota.
Toyota accepts product responsibil-
ity for genuine Toyota parts and 
accessories. Toyota cannot accept 
liability for parts or accessory prod-
ucts of any kind which it has not 
approved.
Toyota is unable to assess each 
individual product of outside origin 
as to its suitability for use on Toyota 
vehicles without safety risk. Nor can suitability be assured if an offi-
cial permit has been issued for it in 
a specific country. Tests performed 
for such permits cannot always 
cover all operating conditions for 
Toyota vehicles, and some of them 
therefore are insufficient.
A number of electronic control 
devices are installed in your vehi-
cle. Electronic control devices pro-
cess data that they receive from 
vehicle sensors, generate them-
selves or exchange with one 
another, for example. Some control 
devices are necessary for the vehi-
cle to function safely or provide 
assistance during driving, for exam-
ple Driver Assistance Systems. 
Furthermore, control devices facili-
tate comfort or infotainment func-
tions.
Information on the data saved or 
exchanged can be obtained from 
the vehicle manufacturer, for exam-
ple in a separate brochure.
Every vehicle has a unique vehicle 
identification number. Depending 
on the country, a vehicle owner can

This data includes, for example:
• Status messages of the vehicle 
and its individual components, 
for example wheel rotation 
speed, wheel speed, decelera-
tion, lateral acceleration, fas-
tened seat belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, for example 
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is only processed within 
the vehicle itself and is usually tran-
sient. The data is not saved after 
the vehicle is switched off.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for saving 
technical information. Information 
on vehicle condition, component 
load, maintenance requirements, 
events or errors can be saved tem-
porarily or permanently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or its 
environment, for example:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for example, fill levels, 
tyre inflation pressure, battery 
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for 
example, lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for 
example triggering of an airbag, 
activation of the drive stability 
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-ing events.
The data is required so that the 
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting 
and rectifying malfunctions, and 
helps the vehicle manufacturer to 
optimise vehicle functions.
The majority of this data is transient 
and is only processed within the 
vehicle itself. Only a small propor-
tion of the data is stored in event or 
error memories in response to spe-
cific circumstances.
When service work is being carried 
out, for example repairs, service 
operations, warranty work and 
quality assurance measures, this 
technical information can be read 
out from the vehicle together with 
the vehicle identification number.
Any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer can read out the 
information. The legally required 
on-board diagnostics (OBD) socket 
in the vehicle is used to read out 
the data.
The data is collected, processed 
and used by the relevant organisa-
tions in the service network. The 
data documents the technical con-
ditions of the vehicle and helps in 
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving 
quality.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has 
product monitoring obligations to 
meet in line with product liability

The eCall emergency call system 
required by law enables manual or 
automatic emergency calls to be 
issued in the event of accidents, for 
example.
The emergency calls are answered 
by the public rescue coordination 
centre.
Information on the eCall on-board 
statutory emergency call system, 
which is based on a 112 emergency 
call, its operation and its functions, 
see page 337.
The eCall service based on a 112 
emergency call is a public service 
of general interest and is provided 
free of charge.
If a serious accident occurs, the 
eCall statutory emergency call sys-
tem is activated automatically by 
on-board sensors as standard. It is 
also triggered automatically if the 
vehicle is equipped with an intelli-
gent emergency call system that 
fails to work in the event of a seri-
ous accident.
The eCall statutory emergency call 
system can also be triggered man-
ually if required.
If a critical system failure occurs that would put the eCall statutory 
emergency call system out of oper-
ation, the vehicle occupants receive 
a warning, see page 338.
The eCall statutory emergency call 
system processes personal data in 
accordance with the following regu-
lations:
• Protection of personal data: Reg-
ulation 2016/679/EU of the Euro-
pean Parliament and of the 
Council.
• Protection of personal data: 
Directive 2002/58/EC of the 
European Parliament and of the 
Council.
Personal data is only processed for 
the purpose of transmitting eCall 
emergency calls to the standard-
ised European emergency call 
number 112.
The eCall statutory emergency call 
system operates via mobile com-
munications through the SIM card 
installed in the vehicle. The SIM 
card is not permanently connected 
to the mobile telephone network; 
rather, it remains connected only as 
long as the emergency call is 
active.

NOTES
The relevant ordinances and direc-
tives govern the protection of indi-
viduals in terms of processing 
personal data.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem processes personal data in 
accordance with European direc-
tives on the protection of personal 
data.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem processes personal data only 
with the vehicle owner's consent.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem and other services with addi-
tional benefits may only process 
personal data with the express con-
sent of the individual affected by 
data processing, for example the 
vehicle owner.
The automatic emergency call sys-
tem operates via mobile communi-
cations through the SIM card 
installed in the vehicle. The SIM 
card is permanently logged into the 
mobile telephone network so a con-
nection can be established quickly. 
The data is sent to the vehicle man-
ufacturer in the event of an emer-
gency.
The vehicle manufacturer also uses 
the data sent as part of an emer-
gency call to improve product and 
service quality.Only the provider of the mobile tele-
phone network is able to determine 
the position of the vehicle based on 
mobile telephone mast locations. 
The network operator is not able to 
link the vehicle identification num-
ber to the telephone number of the 
installed SIM card. Only the vehicle 
manufacturer is able to link the 
vehicle identification number to the 
telephone number of the installed 
SIM card.
The log data for emergency calls is 
saved in a vehicle memory. The 
oldest log data is regularly deleted. 
The log data includes information 
on when and where an emergency 
call was issued, for example.
In exceptional cases, the log data 
can be read out from the vehicle 
memory. It is usually only possible 
for log data to be read out with a 
court order and if the corresponding 
devices are directly connected to 
the vehicle.
The system has been designed so 
that an emergency call is triggered 
automatically following an accident 
of a certain severity, which is 
detected by the sensors in the vehi-
cle. SIM card

Supra Owner's Manual1-1. NOTES
If an emergency call is made by the 
automatic emergency call system, 
the same information is conveyed 
to the appointed emergency call 
centre as is normally conveyed to 
the public rescue coordination cen-
tre by the eCall statutory emer-
gency call system.
Furthermore, the automatic emer-
gency call system also conveys the 
following additional information to 
an emergency call centre appointed 
by the vehicle manufacturer and, 
where applicable, to the public res-
cue coordination centre:
• Accident data, for example the 
direction of the collision as 
detected by the vehicle sensors 
in order to facilitate the rescue 
services deployment plans.
• Contact data, for example the 
telephone number of the 
installed SIM card and the 
driver's telephone number, if 
available, so that those involved 
in the accident can be contacted 
quickly if necessary.
The data relating to an emergency 
call that has been placed is trig-
gered in the vehicle. The data con-
tains information about the 
emergency call, for example the 
place and time it was issued.
The emergency call centre saves audio recordings of the emergency 
call.
Audio recordings of the customer 
are saved for 24 hours, in case 
details of the emergency call need 
to be analysed. After that, the audio 
recordings are deleted. Audio 
recordings of the emergency call 
centre employee are saved for 24 
hours for quality assurance pur-
poses.
The data obtained in the context of 
an automatic emergency call is only 
used to process the emergency 
call. If legally obliged to do so, the 
vehicle manufacturer will disclose 
the data it has processed and, 
where applicable, still has saved.
The owner of a vehicle equipped 
with an automatic emergency call 
system and the eCall statutory 
emergency call system has the 
right to use the on-board eCall sys-
tem instead of the automatic emer-
gency call.
For deactivation requests, contact 
any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer.
The eCall statutory emergency call 
system is always on standby in 
addition to the automatic emer-
gency call system. The eCall statu- Sent information
