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
● To learn more about the vehicle data collected, used and shared by

■ Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surfac e will be
especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the r ain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating prop erly.

When driving
■
Engine speed while driving (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting i mplementation
to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
● The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
● When the accelerator pedal is released
● When driving on curves
● When the brake pedal is firmly depressed
■ New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
● Do not race the engine. And do not allow the engine speed to exceed
4000 rpm except in an emergency.
● Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
either fast or slow.
● Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an em ergency.
● Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake lining s are
replaced with new ones.
■ High friction brake pads (if equipped)
The brake pads and discs are designed for use under high load c onditions.
Therefore, brake noise may be generated depending on the vehicl e speed,
braking force and vehicle environment (temperature, humidity, e tc.).
■ Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have you r Toyota
dealer perform the bedding down.
