If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control
(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may con-
tain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations
which include activating the VSC under which the VSC
EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may
record some or all of the following information:
!
Behavior of the vehicle
!
Steering wheel angle
!
Vehicle speed
!
To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
!
To what extent the brake pedal was applied
!
To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of
the 4 wheels
!
Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the
purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike
general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound
data such as conversation between passengers.
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 leas-
ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained
!
Officially requested by the police or other authorities
!
Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit
!
Ordered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
!
Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety
performance
!
Disclose the data to a third party for research pur-
poses without disclosing details of the vehicle owner,
and only when it is deemed necessary
!
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-
cation information to a non
− Toyota organization for
research purposes
