instance driver assistance sys-

facilitate comfort or infotainment

Information about stored or
exchanged data can be
requested from the manufac-
turer of the vehicle, in a sepa-
rate booklet, for example.
Each vehicle is marked with a
unique vehicle identification
number. Depending on the
country, the vehicle owner can
be identified with the vehicle
identification number, license
plate and corresponding authori-
ties. In addition, there are other
options to track data collected in
the vehicle to the driver or vehi-
cle owner, e.g. via the Toyota
Supra Connect account that is
used.
Control units process data to
operate the vehicle.
For example, this includes:
• Status messages for the vehi-cle and its Customize compo-
nents, e.g., wheel rotational
speed, wheel speed, deceler-
ation, transverse acceleration,
engaged safety belt indicator.
• Ambient conditions, e.g., tem- perature, rain sensor signals.
The processed data is only pro-
cessed in the vehicle itself and
generally volatile. The data is
not stored beyond the operating
period.
Electronic components, e.g.
control units and ignition keys,
contain components for storing
technical information. Informa-
tion about the vehicle condition,
component usage, mainte-
nance requirements or faults
can be stored temporarily or
permanently.
This information generally
records the state of a compo-
nent, a module, a system, or the
environment, for instance:
• Operating states of system components, e.g., fill levels,
tire inflation pressure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults in important system compo-
nents, for instance lights and
brakes.
• Responses by the vehicle to special situations such as air-
bag deployment or engage-
ment of the driving stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-dam- aging events.
The data is required to perform
the control unit functions. Fur-
thermore, it also serves to rec-
ognize and correct malfunctions,
and helps the vehicle manufac-

This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like 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 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 passenger safety belts were
fastened.
• How far, if at all, the driver was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was trav- eling.
This data can help provide a
better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
EDR data is recorded by your
vehicle only if a nontrivial crash
situation occurs; no data is
recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal driving conditions and no
personal data, for instance
name, gender, age, and crash
location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
An ideal seating position that
meets the needs of the occu-
pants can make a vital contribu-
tion to relaxed, fatigue-free
driving.
In the event of an accident, the
correct seating position plays an
important role. Follow the infor-
mation in the following chapters:
• Seats, refer to page 99.
• Safety belts, refer to page 103.
• Head restraints, refer to page 108.
• Airbags, refer to page 164.

Safety information
WARNING
Seat adjustments while driving
can lead to unexpected move-
ments of the seat. Vehicle control
could be lost. There is a risk of an
accident. Only adjust the seat on
the driver's side when the vehicle
is stationary.
WARNING
With a backrest inclined too far to
the rear, the efficacy of the safety
belt can no longer be ensured.
There is a risk of sliding under the
safety belt in an accident. There is
a risk of injuries or danger to life.
Adjust the seat prior to starting the
trip. Adjust the backrest so that it
is in the most upright position as
possible and do not adjust again
while driving.
WARNING
There is a risk of jamming when
moving the seats. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Make sure that the area of
movement of the seat is clear
prior to any adjustment.

The curvature of the seat back-
rest can be adjusted in a way
that it supports the lumbar
region of the spine. The lower
back and the spine are sup-
ported for upright posture.
Adjusting the backrest width
may improve lateral support
when taking corners.
You can change the backrest
width by adjusting the side
wings of the backrest.The vehicle is fitted with two
safety belts to ensure occupant
safety. However the safety belt
can only offer protection when
adjusted correctly.
Always make sure that safety
belts are being worn by the
occupants before driving off.
The airbags supplement the
safety belts as an additional
safety device. The airbags are
not a substitute for safety belts.
All belt fastening points are
designed to achieve the best
possible protective effect of the
safety belts with proper use of
the safety belts and correct seat
setting. Notes on sitting safely,
refer to page P.99.

• Wear the safety belt twist-free and tight to your body over
your lap and shoulders.
• Wear the safety belt deep on your hips over your lap. The
safety belt may not press on
your stomach.
• Do not rub the safety belt against sharp edges, or guide
it or jam it in across hard or
fragile objects.
• Avoid thick clothing.
• Re-tighten the safety belt fre- quently upward around your
upper body.
Having a correct driving posture
is essential for safe driving.

Safety information
WARNING
Use of a safety belt to buckle
more than one person will poten-
tially defeat the ability of the
safety belt to serve its protective
function. There is a risk of injuries
or danger to life. Do not allow
more than one person to wear a
single safety belt. Infants and chil-
dren are not allowed on an occu-
pant's lap, but must be
transported and secured in desig-
nated child restraint systems.
WARNING
The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, c

lost when safety belts are fas-
tened incorrectly. An incorrectly
fastened safety belt can cause
additional injuries, for instance in
the event of an accident or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk o f injuries or dan-
ger to life. Make sure that all
occupants are wearing safety
belts correctly.

The efficacy of safety gear, includ-
ing safety belts, may not be fully

posture not only helps reduce
fatigue while driving, but helps
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat
belts and airbags, will operate
correctly in a collision, reducing
the impact to the occupants.The most basic occupant pro-
tection device is the seat belt.
The airbags are designed to
supplement the seat belts, not
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly
ensures that the occupants are
securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being
thrown from the vehicle in a col-
lision. Therefore, it is necessary
for all occupants to wear their
seat belt. If a seat belt is worn
improperly, its effectiveness as
an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay
attention to the following to
ensure the correct driving pos-
ture and use of the seat belts.

WARNING
Do not recline the seatback
excessively while driving.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, do
not recline the seat more than
necessary. If the seat is too
reclined, the lap belt may slide
past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or
your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the
event of an accident. Adjustments
should not be made while driving
as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure that all passengers
wear their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be manda-
tory under local laws and regula-
tions. If a seat belt is not worn
properly, an occupant may con-
tact interior parts or be thrown
from the vehicle in the case of
sudden braking or a collision, pos-
sibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Also, if an occupant has an
incorrect riding posture, the air-
bags will be ineffectual as occu-
pant protection devices and may
actually cause injuries when they
deploy.
