Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary 
measures or special instructions 
regarding installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables 
on the hybrid vehicles emit 
approximately the same amount 
of electromagnetic waves as the 
conventional gasoline powered 
vehicles or home electronic 
appliances despite of their elec-
tromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in 
the reception of the mobile 
two-way radio.
The vehicle is equipped with 
sophisticated computers that will 
record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed/Electric motor  speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving  assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cam-
eras. Contact your Toyota dealer for 
the location of re cording cameras.
The recorded data varies  according to the vehicle grade 
level and options with which it is 
equipped.
These computers do not record 
conversations or sounds, and 
only record images outside of 
the vehicle in certain 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 this computer to diagnose mal-
functions, conduct research and 
development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not  disclose the 
recorded data to a third party 
except:
• With the consen t 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 
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the  data is not tied to a specific vehi-
cle or vehicle owner
 Recorded image information 
can be erased by your Toyota 
dealer.
The image recording function can 
be disabled. However, if the func-
tion is disabled, data from when the 
system operates will not be avail-
able.

●Do not attach anything to areas 
such as a door, windshield, side 
windows, front or rear pillar, roof 
side rail and assist grip.
●Do not hang coat hangers or 
other hard objects on the coat 
hooks. All of these items could 
become projectiles and may 
cause death or serious injury, 
should the SRS curtain shield 
airbags deploy.
●I f a vin yl co ver  is p u t on  t he  ar ea  
where the SRS knee airbag will 
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories 
which cover the parts where the 
SRS side airbags and SRS seat 
cushion airbag inflate as they 
may interfere with inflation of 
the SRS airbags. Such acces-
sories may prevent the side air-
bags and seat cushion airbag 
from activating correctly, disable 
the system or cause the side 
airbags and seat cushion airbag 
to inflate accidentally, resulting 
in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant 
levels of force to the area of the 
SRS airbag components or the 
front doors. Doing so can cause 
the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the compo-
nent parts immediately after the 
SRS airbags have deployed 
(inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult 
after the SRS airbags have 
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or 
leave the vehicle if it is safe to 
do so. Wash off any residue as 
soon as possible to prevent skin 
irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS air-
bags are stored, such as the 
steering wheel pad and front 
and rear pillar  garnishes, are 
damaged or cracked, have 
them replaced by your Toyota 
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as 
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will 
disperse the passenger’s 
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a 
result, the SRS front airbags for 
the front passenger may not 
deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of 
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or 
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your 
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags 
may malfunction or deploy 
(inflate) accidentally, causing 
death or serious injury.
●Installation, re moval, disassem-
bly and repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repairs, modifications, removal 
or replacement of the steering 
wheel, instrument panel, dash-
board, seats or seat upholstery, 
front, side and rear pillars, roof 
side rails, front door panels, 
front door trims or front door 
speakers
