WARNING  
Toyota Safety Sense P  
The Toyota Safety Sense P is designed to operate under the assumption  
that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to  
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in  
normal driving conditions.  
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-  
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The  
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle's surround-  
ings and driving safely.

Vehicle data recordings  
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer  
that will record certain data, such as:  
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or  
brake pedal  
• How fast the vehicle was traveling  
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions  
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your  
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)  
• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-colli-  
sion braking function or the pre-collision brake assist function was  
operating)  
The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or  
images of the inside of the vehicle.

Data usage  
Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose  
malfunctions, 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  
government agency  
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit  
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific  
vehicle or vehicle owner  
Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.  
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the func-  
tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates  
will not be available.
