Be sure to check with your Lexus
dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installa-
tion of a mobile two-way radio system.
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain 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 Lexus dealer for
the location of recording cameras
The recorded data varies according to
the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record con-
versations 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 Lexus
without notification to you.
Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this
computer to diagnose malfunctions, con-
duct research and development, and
improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data
to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee if the vehi-
cle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
Recorded image information can be
erased by your Lexus dealer.
The image recording function can be dis-
abled. However, if the function is disabled,
data from when the system operates will
not be available.

data collected, used and shared by
Lexus, please visit

.
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 hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed. The EDR is designed
to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds 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 pas-
senger safety belts were buck-
led/fastened;
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-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded
by the EDR under normal driving con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could com-
bine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally 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 man-
ufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus 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 leased vehicle) is
obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
The SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner devices in your Lexus contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners not deployed, this may

Front impact sensors
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the
US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly
(ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sen-
sors etc. shown in the system components diagram above. This information
includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemi-
cal reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help
restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front
and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.97)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.246)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.274)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.344)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.350)
●For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to send an
emergency call to the response center,
notifying them of the vehicle’s location
(without needing to push the “SOS” but- ton) and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain the level
of emergency and assistance required. If
the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency services.

•An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear- end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt preten-

*1: These lights come on when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode to indicate that a system check is
being performed. They will turn off after
the engine is started, or after a few sec-
onds. There may be a malfunction in a
system if the lights do not come on, or
turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning light not come on
when you start the engine, this could
mean that these systems are not avail-
able to help protect you in an accident,
which could result in death or serious
injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.
