■When the fuel filler door cannot be opened by pressing the inside switch
Using the lever to open the fuel filler door may not allow for an adequate
reduction in fuel tank pressure before refueling. To prevent fu el from spilling

ment light.

WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense P
The Toyota Safety Sense P 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 vehicl e’s surround-
ings and driving safely.

Driving
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated compu ter
that will record certain data, such as: • Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
• Information (such as the dist ance and relative speed between y our
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-col li-
sion braking function or the pre-collision brake assist functio n was
operating)
The pre-collision system does not record con versations, sounds or
images of the inside of the vehicle.
● 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 exc ept:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of t he
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw 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
● Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the f unc-
tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system opera tes
will not be available.
