tute a safety risk.
Work performed incorrectly on the
vehicle paintwork can cause com-
ponents, for example the radar sen-
sors, to fail or malfunction, resulting
in a safety risk.
Toyota recommends using parts
and accessories that are specifi-
cally approved for this purpose by
To y o t a .
You are recommended to consult
Toyota for advice on genuine
Toyota parts and accessories, other
Toyota approved products and
expert advice on all related matters.
The safety and compatibility of
these products in conjunction with
Toyota vehicles have been checked
by Toyota.
Toyota accepts product responsibil-
ity for genuine Toyota parts and
accessories. Toyota cannot accept
liability for parts or accessory prod-
ucts of any kind which it has not
approved.
Toyota is unable to assess each
individual product of outside origin
as to its suitability for use on Toyota
vehicles without safety risk. Nor
can suitability be assured if an offi-
cial permit has been issued for it in
a specific country. Tests performed
for such permits cannot always
cover all operatin g conditions for
Toyota vehicles, and some of them
therefore are insufficient.
Within the scope of data protection
directives and legislation, the man-
ufacturer of the vehicle is responsi-
ble for the processing of personal
data which is co llected when the
vehicle is used or from web pages,
customer support, online services
and marketing measures.
Every vehicle has a unique vehicle
identification number. Depending
on the country, a vehicle owner can
be identified with the assistance of
the vehicle identification number,
the number plate and the relevant
authorities. There are also other
ways of tracing data collected in the

the vehicle, for example via the
web page.
• When requesting information on
products and services or direct
purchases, for example on web
pages or in apps.
• When making direct purchases,
for example on the web page.

A number of electronic control
devices are installed in your vehi-
cle. Electronic control units process
data that they receive from vehicle
sensors, generate themselves or
exchange with one another, for
example. A high number of control
units are necessary for the vehicle
to function safely or provide assis-
tance during driv ing, for example
driver assistance systems. There
are also control devices which
manage comfort or infotainment
functions.
Data saved in the vehicle can be
deleted at any time. This data is
only transmitted to third parties if
expressly requested in the course
of using online services. The trans-
fer depends on the settings
selected for using the services.

or the driver's behaviour.
These include, for example:
• Status reports relating to the
vehicle and its individual compo-
nents, for example wheel speed,
wheel circumferential velocity,
deceleration, lateral accelera-
tion, fastened seat belts.
• Ambient conditions, for example
temperature, rain sensor signals.
The data is processed within the
vehicle and is usually transient. It is
only saved for longer than the oper-
ating period if it is required in order
to perform services agreed with the
customer.
Electronic parts, for example con-
trol devices and vehicle keys, con-
tain components for storing
technical informat ion. Information
about the vehicle's condition, com-
ponent use and wear, maintenance
requirements, events or errors can
be stored temporarily or perma-
nently.
This information generally docu-
ments the condition of a compo-
nent, a module, a system or the
vehicle surroundings, including:
• Operating states of system com-
ponents, for examp le fill levels,
tyre inflation pr essure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults of impor-
tant system components, for
example lights and brakes.
• Responses of the vehicle to par-
ticular driving situations, for
example triggering of an airbag,
activation of th e drive stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-damag-
ing events.
The data is required so that the
control units can perform their func-
tions. It is also used for detecting
and rectifying malfunctions, as well
as to optimise vehicle functions.
Most of this data is transient and is
only processed within the vehicle
itself. Only a small proportion of the
data is stored in event or error
memories in response to specific
circumstances.
Convenience functions, such as
seat, climate or light settings, make
every journey even more pleasant.
The personal settings for these
functions can be saved in a profile
within the vehicle and retrieved on
request, for example if the settings
have been changed by another
driver. Depending on the equip-
ment, these profiles can be saved
in the vehicle manufacturer's
secure data systems. When the
driver changes vehicle, these
saved profiles can simply be
applied to a different vehicle.
The vehicle settings saved in the
vehicle profile can be changed or
deleted at any time.

Data can also be imported into the
vehicle entertainment and commu-
nication system, for example via a
smartphone or MP3 player. The
imported data can be processed
within the vehicle, for example to
play the user's favourite music.
Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, this data includes:
• Multimedia data such as music,
films or photos for playback in an
integrated multimedia system.
• Address book data for use in
conjunction with an integrated
hands-free system or an inte-
grated navigation system.
• Destinations: depending on the
equipment, route guidance can
be started automatically with the
aid of destinations which have
been taught in by the navigation
system.
• Data on usage of Internet ser-
vices.
This data may be saved locally in
the vehicle or stored on a device
that has been connected to the
vehicle, for example a smartphone,
USB stick or MP3 player.
When service work is required, for
example repairs, service opera-
tions, warranty work and quality
assurance measures, this techni-
cal information can be read out
from the vehicle together with the
vehicle identification number.
Electronic vehicle components may
contain data storage media which
save technical info rmation relating
to the vehicle condition, events and
errors. The data required for ser-
vice measures is processed locally
and is deleted au tomatically once
the work is complete. Any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer can read out the informa-
tion. As part of service and repair
orders, data is read out via the
OBD diagnostic socket using spe-
cial diagnosis systems and trans-
ferred to the vehicle manufacturer.
The customer is entitled to object to
the data being read out and for-
warded.
The vehicle manufacturer main-
tains documentation relating to
each vehicle to ensure the be
stpossible service is provided.
Within the scope of legal require-
ments, this documentation may be
made available to authorised third
parties, for example specialist
workshops.

only use this data for the purposes
of performing the service or repair
order in question. This prevents
work from being duplicated unnec-
essarily on the vehicle, for exam-
ple.
The data logs the technical condi-
tions of the vehicle and helps in
locating errors, complying with war-
ranty obligations and improving
quality.
To ensure product quality and the
development of new products, data
on the usage of individual compo-
nents and systems may be read
out, for example lights, brakes,
power windows, displays. This data
helps the vehicle manufacturer to
optimise the design of components
and systems. Data analysis also
provides the basis for Technical
Campaigns and statutory recalls.
Furthermore, the manufacturer has
product monitoring obligations to
meet in line with product liability
law. To fulfil these obligations, the
vehicle manufacturer requires tech-
nical data from the vehicle.
Data from the vehicle can also be
used to check customer warranty
claims. If goodw ill or warranty
claims are asserted, the read out
data is transferred to the vehicle
manufacturer to resolve the claims
promptly.
Error and event memories in the
vehicle can be reset when any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer performs repair or servic-
ing work.
Data transferred to the vehicle
manufacturer for the purposes of
ensuring product quality or optimis-
ing service processes can be pre-
vented upon request.
According to current law, the vehi-
cle manufacturer is obliged to pro-
vide the authorities with any data it
has stored. Data is provided to the
extent required and on a
case-by-case basis, for example to
investigate a criminal offence.
The current law also gives state
bodies authorisation to read out
data from the vehicle themselves
for individual cases. This could
include reading out data from the
airbag control device to shed light
on the circumstances of an acci-
dent, for example.
In the context of legal obligations

The registered keeper can refuse to
provide this data for this purpose.
Depending on the equipment,
mobile devices such as
smartphones can be connected to
the vehicle and used to control
vehicle functions, for example
Toyota Supra Connect. For exam-
ple, sound and images from the
mobile device can be played back
and displayed through the multime-
dia system in the vehicle.
Selected information is transferred
to the mobile device at the same
time. Depending on the type of inte-
gration, this includes position data
and other general vehicle informa-
tion, for example. This optimises
the way in which selected apps, for
example navigation or music play-
back, work. How the data is pro-
cessed further is determined by the
provider of the particular app being
used.
If the vehicle has a wireless net-
work connection, this enables data
to be exchanged between the vehi-
cle and other systems, for example
with Toyota Supra Connect.
In the case of online services pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
vehicle, the respective functions
are described at a suitable point, for
example, in the Owner's Handbook,
on the manufacturer's web page.
The relevant legal information per-
taining to data protection is also
provided.
Personal data may be used to pro-
vide online services. Data is
exchanged over a secure connec-
tion, for example with the data sys-
tems of the vehicle manufacturer
intended for this purpose.
Any collection, processing and use
of personal data above and beyond
that needed to provide the services
always requires legal permission, a
contractual agreement or consent
of the user.
Toyota Supra Conn ect networks the
vehicle with a whole host of digital
services. When used, only the data
saved in the vehicle that is required
to perform the agreed service is
transferred online, for example
information on iden tifying and locat-
ing the vehicle. The basis is a con-
tractual agreement with the user.
