Toyota vehicles are currently  
available in the market. You  
should know that Toyota does

they may have on, your Toyota

For your information  
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.  
This vehicle should not be modi-  
fied with non-genuine Toyota  
products. Modification with non-  
genuine Toyota products could  
affect its performance, safety or  
durability, and may even violate  
governmental regulations. In  
addition, damage or perfor-  
mance problems resulting from  
the modification may not be cov-  
ered under warranty.  
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.  
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.  
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.

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  
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit  
• For research purposes where the  
data is not tied to a specific vehi-  
cle or vehicle owner  
Recorded image information  
can be erased by your Toyota  
dealer.  
The image recording function can  
be disabled. However, if the func-  
tion is disabled, data from when the  
system operates will not be avail-  
able.

Usage of data collected  
through Safety Connect  
(U.S.mainland only)  
If your Toyota has Safety Con-

These data can help provide a  
better understanding of the cir-  
cumstances in which crashes  
and injuries occur.  
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.

Event data recorder  
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.  
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.  
The EDR in this vehicle is  
designed to record such data  
as:

These components may include  
the airbags, seat belt preten-  
sioners, wireless remote control  
batteries, and the batteries in  
the tire pressure warning valve  
and transmitters.  
• An agreement from the vehicle’s  
owner (or the lessee for a leased  
vehicle) is obtained  
• In response to an official request  
by the police, a court of law or a

vehicle safety performance  
• Disclose the data to a third party  
for research purposes without  
disclosing information about the  
specific vehicle or vehicle owner  
WARNING  
General precautions while  
driving  
Scrapping of your Toyota  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Perchlorate Material  
Special handling may apply,  
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

WARNING  
General precaution regarding  
children’s safety  
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 side  
windows, or other features of the  
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up  
or extremely cold temperatures  
inside the vehicle can be fatal to  
children.
