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.

Unwanted noise may occur in

the reception of the mobile two-

way radio.

Usage of data collected

vehicle if it is discovered that an

aftermarket or recycled part

installed on the vehicle is defec-

tive 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-

ket or recycled part or service

performed by a person other

than an authorized service pro-

vider caused damage to another

part of the vehicle otherwise

covered under warranty before

denying warranty coverage.

Additionally, federal law allows a

manufacturer to void a motor

vehicle warranty or deny war-

ranty coverage if the manufac-

turer 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 Warranty

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

makes it illegal for motor vehicle

manufacturers to void a motor

vehicle warranty or deny war-

ranty coverage solely because

an aftermarket or recycled part

has been used to repair the

vehicle or someone other than

the authorized service provider

performed service on the vehi-

cle. This provision does not

apply to a new motor vehicle

purchased solely for commercial

or industrial use.

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

turer may deny warranty cover-

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:

 Disclosure of the EDR data

 How various systems in your

vehicle were operating;

Toyota will not disclose the data

recorded in an EDR to a third party

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,

• In response to an official request

by the police, a court of law or a

government agency

 How fast the vehicle was trav-

eling.

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

However, if necessary, Toyota

may:

These data can help provide a

better understanding of the cir-

cumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur.

• Use the data for research on

vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party

for research purposes without

disclosing information about the

specific vehicle or vehicle owner

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.

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-

To read data recorded by an

EDR, special equipment is

required, and access to the

12

vice shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your

vehicle.

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.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/

hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components

that may contain perchlorate.

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.

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.

“QR Code”

The word “QR Code” is regis-

tered trademark of DENSO

WAVE INCORPORATED in

Japan and other countries.

■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.
