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 pur-
pose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike gen-
eral 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 own-
er, and only when it is deemed necessary
!
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi-
cation information to a non
− Toyota organization for
research purposes
