installed on your vehicle and the 
illustrations used may differ from 
your vehicle.
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.
If Toyota chooses to update the 
manual, updated versions can 
be viewed by selecting your

Approximately five hours after 
the engine is turned off, you 
may hear sound coming from 

under the vehicle for several 
minutes. This is the sound of a 
fuel evaporation leakage check 
and, it does not indicate a mal-
function.

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.
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 regu-
lations. In addition, damage or 
performance problems resulting 
from the modification may not 
be covered under warranty.
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

your Toyota dealer.

If your Toyota has Safety Con-
nect and if you have subscribed 
to those services, please refer to 
the Safety Connect Telematics 
Subscription Service Agreement 
for information on data collected 
and its usage.

To learn more about the vehi-
cle data collected, used and 
shared by Toyota, please visit
www.toyota.com/privacyvts/.

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.
The EDR in this vehicle is 
designed to record such data 
as:
• How various systems in your 

vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and 

passenger safety belts were

(U.S. mainland only)

buckled/fastened;

• How far (if at all) the driver 

was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was trav-

eling.

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.
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.

Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data 
recorded in an EDR to a third party 
except when:
• 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 
government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• 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

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.

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-

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.

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 win-

dows, the moon roof, or other 

features of the vehicle. In addi-

tion, heat build-up or extremely 

cold temperatures inside the vehi-

cle can be fatal to children.
