The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:

●

Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

●

Cruise control system

●

Anti-lock brake system

●

SRS airbag system

●

Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record
certain data, such as:

• Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position (except manual transmission)

The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con-
versations, sounds or pictures.

●

Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• 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 law 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
