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.
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  front  camera  (available  only  when  certain  safe ty  sys-
tems  are  activated,  which  varies  depending  on  the  vehicle  specifica-
tions).
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.
Installation of a mobile  two-way radio system
Vehicle data recording 

11
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
