The Toyota Safety Sense consists of the following drive assist
systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving expe-
rience:

WARNING

■

Toyota Safety Sense
The Toyota Safety Sense 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.

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The pre-crash safety system is equipped with a sophisticated com-
puter that will record certain data, such as:

• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-crash safety system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your

vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)

The pre-crash safety system does not record conversations, sounds
or pictures.
● 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
