CAMRY_UThe installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehic
le could affect
electronic systems such as: 
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+
● 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 cameras
Your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  cameras.  Contact  your  Toyota  deal er  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  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  m alfunc-
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 the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• 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
• For  research  purposes  where the  data is not  tied to  a  specific   vehicle  or
vehicle owner

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  infor-
mation  obtained  from  the  sensors  etc.  shown  in  the  system  compo -
nents  diagram  above.  This  informat ion  includes  crash  severity  and
occupant  information.  As  the  airbags  deploy,  a  chemical  reactio n  in
the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non-toxic gas to h elp restrain
the motion of t he occupants.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● If  a  vinyl  cover  is  put  on the  area  where  the SRS  knee  airbag  w ill  deploy,
be sure to remove it.
● Do  not  use  seat  accessories  which  cover  the  parts  where  the  SRS   side
airbags  inflate  as  they  may  interfere  with  inflation  of  the  air bags.  Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the  system  or  cause  the  side  airbags  to  inflate  accidentally,  resulting  in
death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components or the front doors. 
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do  not  touch  any  of  the  component  parts  immediately  after  the  SRS  air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door  or  window  to  allow  fresh  air  in,  or  leave  the  vehicle  if  i t  is  safe  to  do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin ir ritation. 
● If the areas where the SRS airbags 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  passenge r's  seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front
airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.

■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The  system  judges  a  person  of  adult  size  as  an  adult.  When  a  s
maller
adult  sits  in  the  front  passenger  seat,  the  system  may  not  recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or chi ld in convert-
ible  seat,  the  system  may  not  recognize  him/her  as  a  child.  Fac tors
which may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 56)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 58)

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe  the  following  precautions  regarding  the  front  passenger  occupant
classification system. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Wear the seat belt properly.
● Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt plate has not been le ft inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat .
● Make sure the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated when using
the  seat  belt  extender  for  the  front  passenger  seat.  If  the  “AIRBAG  OFF”
indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat
belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the “AIRBAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you use
the  seat  belt  extender  while  the  “AIRBAG  OFF”  indicator  light  is  illumi-
nated,  the  SRS  airbags  for  the  front  passenger  will  not  activate,  which
could cause death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
● Do  not apply a heavy  load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback pocket).
● Do  not  put  weight  on  the  front  passenger  seat  by  putting  your  hands  or
feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.
● Do  not  let  a  rear  passenger  lift  the  front  passenger  seat  with  their  feet  or
press on the seatback with their legs.
● Do not put objects under the front passenger seat.
