Be sure to check with any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for precautionary mea-
sures or special instructions regard-
ing installation of an RF-transmitter
system.
Further information regarding fre-

provisions for the installation of RF-
transmitters, is available on request
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
High voltage parts and cables on
the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves
as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their electro-
magnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:• Engine speed/Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for the location of
recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according
to the vehicle grade level, options
and destinations with which it is
equipped.
These computers do not record
conversations or sounds, and only
record images outside of the vehi-
cle in certain situations.
Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, 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 govern-
ment 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 image information can
be erased by any authorized
Vehicle data recording

Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer
The image recording function can be
disabled. However, if the function is dis-
abled, data from when the system oper-
ates will not be available.
The SRS airbag and seat belt pre-
tensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have
the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified service
shop or any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer,
before you scrap your vehicle.

WARNING
■General precautions while driv- ing
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, 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 acci- dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything 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 vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the side windows, the panoramic moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
