Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual

applies to all models and

explains all equipment, including

options. Therefore, you may find

explanations for equipment not

installed on your vehicle and the

illustrations used may differ from

your vehicle.

Cyber Attack Risk

Installing electronic devices and

radios increases the risk of

cyber attacks through the

installed parts, which may lead

to unexpected accidents and

leakage of personal informa-

tion. Toyota does not make any

guarantees for problems caused

by installing non-genuine Toyota

products.

All specifications provided in this

manual are current at the time of

printing. Over time, your vehicle

may receive updates that modify

the vehicle and make material in

this manual incomplete and/or

inaccurate. Because of Toyota’s

interest in continual product

improvement, Toyota reserves

the right to make changes to this

manual at any time without

notice.

Accessories, spare parts

and modification of your

Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine

spare parts and accessories for

Toyota vehicles are currently

available in the market. You

should know that Toyota does

not warrant these products and

is not responsible for their per-

formance, repair, or replace-

ment, or for any damage they

may cause to, or adverse effect

they may have on, your Toyota

vehicle.

If Toyota chooses to update the

manual, updated versions can

be viewed by selecting your

vehicle by model and year at the

following URL or on your mobile

device if you have access to the

Toyota app.

governmental regulations. In

addition, damage or perfor-

mance problems resulting from

the modification may not be cov-

ered under warranty.

Vehicle data recording

This vehicle is equipped with

sophisticated computers that

record certain data regarding

vehicle controls and operations.

Also, remodeling like this will

have an effect on advanced

safety equipment such as Toy-

ota Safety Sense 3.0 and there

is a danger that it will not work

properly or the danger that it

may work in situations where it

should not be working.

■ Data recorded by the com-

puters^*1

sion-like situations

 When driving on roads with

certain traffic situations, such

as congestion, poor road sur-

that emergency services are

dispatched, to the fire depart-

ment of a local government

which has entered a separate

ket or recycled part or service

performed by a person other

than an authorized service

provider caused damage to

another part of the vehicle

otherwise covered under war-

ranty before denying warranty

coverage. Additionally, fed-

eral law allows a manufac-

provides the article or service

to consumers free of charge

under the warranty or the

manufacturer has secured a

waiver from the Federal Trade

Commission.

Statement on Warranty

Coverage for Aftermarket

and Recycled Parts (For

U.S. Owners)

The Magnuson-Moss War-

ranty Act, 15 U.S.C. s.2301 et

seq., makes it illegal for motor

vehicle manufacturers to void

a motor vehicle warranty or

deny warranty coverage

solely because an aftermarket

or recycled part has been

used to repair the vehicle or

someone other than the

Event data recorder

authorized service provider

performed service on the

vehicle. This provision does

not apply to a new motor vehi-

cle purchased solely for com-

mercial or industrial use.

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.

Under federal law, a manufac-

turer may deny warranty cov-

erage and charge for repairs

to a vehicle if it is discovered

that an aftermarket or recy-

cled part installed on the vehi-

cle is defective or was

installed incorrectly and

caused damage to another

part of the vehicle otherwise

covered under warranty. The

Federal Trade Commission

requires that a manufacturer

demonstrate that an aftermar-

The EDR in this vehicle is

designed to record such data

as:

• How various systems in your

vehicle were operating;

11

except when:

• Whether or not the driver and

passenger safety belts were

buckled/fastened;

• An agreement from the vehicle’s

owner (or the lessee for a leased

vehicle) is obtained

• How far (if at all) the driver

was depressing the accelera-

tor and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was trav-

eling.

• In response to an official request

by the police, a court of law or a

government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

These data can help provide a

better understanding of the cir-

cumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur.

 However, if necessary, Toy-

ota may:

• Use the data for research on

vehicle safety performance

NOTE: EDR data are recorded

by your vehicle only if a non-triv-

ial 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-

ever, other parties, such as law

enforcement, could combine the

EDR data with the type of per-

sonally identifying data rou-

tinely acquired during a crash

investigation.

• Disclose the data to a third party

for research purposes without

disclosing information about the

specific vehicle or vehicle owner

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt

pretensioner devices in your

Toyota contain explosive chemi-

cals. If the vehicle is scrapped

with the airbags and seat belt

pretensioners left as they are,

this may cause an accident such

as fire. Be sure to have the sys-

tems of the SRS airbag and seat

belt pretensioner removed and

disposed of by a qualified ser-

vice shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your

vehicle.

To read data recorded by an

EDR, special equipment is

required, and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In

addition to the vehicle manufac-

turer, other parties, such as law

enforcement, that have the spe-

cial equipment, can read the

information if they have access

to the vehicle or the EDR.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See

hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

 Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data

recorded in an EDR to a third party

Your vehicle has components

12

that may contain perchlorate.

■General precaution regarding

children’s safety

These components may include

airbags, seat belt pretension-

ers, wireless remote control bat-

teries, and the batteries in the

tire pressure warning valve and

transmitters.

Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle, and never allow

children to have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the

vehicle or shift the vehicle into

neutral. There is also a danger

that children may injure them-

selves by playing with the win-

dows, the moon roof (if equipped),

or other features of the vehicle. In

addition, heat build-up or

extremely cold temperatures

inside the vehicle can be fatal to

children.

WARNING

■General precautions while

driving

Driving under the influence: Never

drive your vehicle when under the

influence of alcohol or drugs that

have impaired your ability to oper-

ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-

tain drugs delay reaction time,

impair judgment and reduce coor-

dination, which could lead to an

accident that could result in death

or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive

defensively. Anticipate mistakes

that other drivers or pedestrians

might make and be ready to avoid

accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give

your full attention to driving. Any-

thing that distracts the driver, such

as adjusting controls, talking on a

cellular phone or reading can

result in a collision with resulting

death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.
