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.
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 
vehicle by model and year at the 
following URL or on your mobile 
device if you have access to the 
Toyota app.

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

may work in situations where it 
should not be working.
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.
The installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system in your 
vehicle could affect electronic 
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel 
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary 
measures or special instructions 
regarding installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system. This vehicle is equipped with 
sophisticated computers that 
record certain data regarding 
vehicle controls and operations.
Data recorded by the comput-
ers
*1
Certain data, such as the following, 
is recorded dependi ng on the oper-
ation timing and status of each 
function.
• Basic vehicle behavior related  data (engine speed, accelera-
tor/brake pedal operation, vehi-
cle speed, etc.)
• Operating state of the driving  support systems (recorded during 
system operation, includes basic 
vehicle behavior related data)
• Driving support system sensor  data
• Image data (images from the  front, rear and  side cameras)
*2
• Location information
These computers do not record 
conversations, sounds, or 
images of the inside of the vehi-
cle.
Also, personal information which 
may be used to identify the 
owner of the vehicle (name, 
gender, age, etc.) is not 
recorded.
*1: The recorded data varies accord-
ing to the vehicle grade level and 
options with which it is equipped.
*2: The vehicle has multiple cam-eras. For details on from which

personal information by the 
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

tem, data from eac h sensor, image 
data (images from the front/rear 
cameras), and position information 
is recorded by the Toyota Safety 
Sense 3.0 in the  following situa-
tions. Toyota obtains this informa-
tion when the vehicle is brought to 
the dealership or when sent to the 
Toyota servers.
• In certain collisions or colli- sion-like situations
• When driving on roads with cer- tain traffic situ ations, such as 
congestion, poor road surfaces,

driving, advanced safety and map 
related technologies (technology, 
product development, product 
improvement, etc.) and products 
and services which use data (maps 
used for automated driving and  advanced safety 
technologies, driv-
