buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver  was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was trav- eling.
These data can help provide a 
better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes 
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded 
by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial crash situation occurs; no 
data are recorded by the EDR 
under normal driving conditions 
and no personal data (e.g., 
name, gender, age, and crash 
location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data rou-
tinely 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 manufac-
turer, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, 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 leased 
vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request  by the police, a court of law or a 
government 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 pur poses without 
disclosing information about the 
specific vehicle or vehicle owner
The SRS airbag and seat belt 
pretensioner devices in your 
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped 
with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, 
this may cause an accident such 
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat 
belt pretensioner removed and 
disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by your Toyota 
dealer before you scrap your 
vehicle.
Special handling may apply, See 
www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components 
that may contain perchlorate. 
These components may include

341-1. For safe use
●The SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger will not activate if there 
is no passenger sitting in the front 
passenger seat. However, the 
SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger may de ploy if luggage 
is put in the seat, even if the seat 
is unoccupied.
●The SRS seat cushion airbag on 
the front passen ger seat will not 
operate if the occupant is not 
wearing a seat belt.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS side and curtain 
shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield 
airbags will deploy i n the event of 
an impact that exceeds the set 
threshold level (the level of force 
corresponding to the impact force 
produced by an approximately 
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding 
with the vehicle cabin from a 
direction perpendicular to the 
vehicle orientation at an approxi-
mate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 
30 km/h]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags 
will deploy in the  event of a side 
collision on either side.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags 
will deploy in the  event of vehicle 
rollover.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags 
will deploy in the event of a severe 
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the 
SRS airbags may deploy 
(inflate), other t han a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS 
side and curtain shield airbags may 
also deploy if a serious impact 
occurs to the underside of your vehi-
cle. Some examples are shown in 
the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement 
or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep 
hole
●Landing hard or falling
The SRS curtain shield airbags may 
also deploy under the situations 
shown in the illustration.
●The angle of vehicle tip-up is mar-
ginal.
●The vehicle skids and hits a curb 
stone.
■Types of collisions that may not 
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS 
front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not gener-
ally inflate if the vehicle is involved 
in a side or r ear collision,  if it rolls 
over, or if it is involved in a 
low-speed frontal  collision. But, 
whenever a collis ion of any type 
causes sufficient forward decelera-
tion of the vehicle, deployment of 
the SRS front airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

Front passenger occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant 
classification system. This system detects the conditions of 
the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front  
passenger airbag and seat cushion airbag in the front passen-
ger side.
System components
WARNING
■Front passenger occupant 
classification system precau-
tions
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 left 
inserted into the buckle before 
someone sits in the front pas-
senger seat. 

621-3. Emergency assistance
The following indicator light pat-
terns indicate specific system 
usage conditions:
Green indicator light on = 
Active service
 Green indicator light flashing 
= Safety Connect call in pro-
cess
 Red indicator light (except at 
vehicle start-up) = System 
malfunction (contact your Toy-
ota dealer)
 No indicator light (off) = 
Safety Connect service not 
active
■Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation
In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to 
automatically call the response 
center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location 
and attempts to speak with the 
vehicle occupants to assess the 
level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, 
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to 
describe the situation, and 
requests that assistance be sent 
to the location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety 
Connect can work with local 
authorities to assist them in 
locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police 
report, call the Customer Experi-
ence Center at 1-800-331-4331 
in the Unites States, 
1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico 
or 1- 888-869-6828 in Canada, 
and follow the prompts for 
Safety Connect to initiate this 
service. 
In addition to assisting law 
enforcement with recovery of a 
stolen vehicle, Safety-Con-
nect-equipped vehicle location 
data may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third 
parties to locate your vehicle. 
Further information is available 
at Toyota.com in the United 
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto 
Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
■Emergency Assistance But-
ton (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency on 
the road, push the “SOS” button 
to reach the Safety Connect 
response center. The answer-
ing agent will determine your 
vehicle’s location, assess the 
emergency, and dispatch the 
necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” 
button, tell the  response-center 
agent that you are not experiencing 
an emergency.
