Vehicle data recordings
Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record
certain data, such as:
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
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 t he 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 lawsuit
• For  research  purposes  where  the  data  is  not  tied  to  a  specific  vehicle  or
vehicle owner

Event data recorder
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-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  designed
to  record  data  related  to  vehicle  dynamics  and  safety  systems  f or  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  buck led/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 circumstances 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,  coul d  combine
the  EDR  data  with  the  type  of  personally  identifying  data  routinely  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 vehicle)
is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law 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

Anti-glare inside rear view mirror
■Automatic anti-glare function
Responding  to  the  level  of  brightness  of  the  headlights  of  vehicles  behind,
the reflected light is automatically reduced. When the shift le ver is shifted to
R and a rear view image is displayed on the rear view monitor,  the automatic
anti-glare function will be disabled.
■ To prevent sensor error
WARNING
■Caution while driving
Do not adjust the position of the mirror while driving. 
Doing  so  may  lead  to  mishandling  of  the  vehicle  and  cause  an  ac cident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
The  rear  view  mirror’s  position  can  be  adjusted  to  enable  suffi cient
confirmation of the rear view in accordance with the driver's s eating
posture. 
To  ensure  that  the  sensors  operate  prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.  

74 1-4. Opening and closing the windows
WARNING
■Closing the windows
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●The driver is responsible for all the power window operations,  including the
operation  for  the  passengers.  In  order  to  prevent  accidental  op eration,
especially  by  a  child,  do  not  let  a  child  operate  the  power  win dows.  It  is
possible  for  children  and  other  passengers  to  have  body  parts  c aught  in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recomme nded to use
the window lock switch. ( P. 72)
● Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being o perated.
● When exiting the vehicle, turn the engine switch (vehicles without a smart
key system) or the “ENGINE START STOP” switch (vehicles with a  smart
key  system)  off,  carry  the  key  and  exit  the  vehicle  along  with  the  child.
There  may be  accidental  operation,  due  to  mischief,  etc.,  that  may possi-
bly lead to an accident.
■ Jam protection function
●Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the j am protection
function.
● The  jam  protection  function  may  not  work  if  something  gets  caug ht  just
before the window fully closes. 

92 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag
●Put  children  aged  12  and  under  in  the
rear  seat  properly  restrained  at  all
times.  The  SRS  airbag  deploys  with
considerable  speed  and  force  and  can
injure  or  even  kill  children,  especially  if
they are 12 years of age and under and
are  not  restrained  or  improperly
restrained. Because children are lighter
and  weaker  than  adults,  their  risk  of
being  injured  from  deployment  is
greater.
For  that  reason,  we  strongly  recom-
mend that ALL children (including those
in  child  seats  and  those  that  have  out-
grown  child  restraint  devices)  sit  in  the
REAR  seat  properly  restrained  at  all
times  in  a  child  restraint  device  or  in  a
seat  belt,  whichever  is  appropriate  for
the child's age, height and weight.
Secure  ALL  types  of  child  restraint
devices  (including  forward  facing  child
seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According  to  accident  statistics,  chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions  than  in the
front seating positions.
For  instructions  and  precautions  con-
cerning  the  child  restraint  system,  refer
to “Child restraint systems”. ( P. 137)
