transmitters, is available on request
at your Toyota dealer.
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
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 vehi-
cle in certain situations.

Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, 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
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
airbag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety sys-
tems for a short period of time, typi-
cally 30 seconds or less. However,
data may not be recorded depend-
ing on the severity and type of a
crash.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed
to record such data as:

How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;

How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,

How fast the vehicle was travel-
ing.
These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
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-
