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

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-
sioners, wireless remote control 
batteries, and the batteries in 
the tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitters.

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 distrac ts 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.

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key 
onto an aircraft, make sure you do 
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft 
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic key in your  bag etc., ensure 
that the buttons are  not likely to be 
pressed accidentally. Pressing a 
button may cause the electronic key 
to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the oper ation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an 
alarm will sound in the cabin and a 
message will be dis played on the 
multi-information  display when the  hybrid system stops.
●To reduce key battery depletion 
when the electronic key is to not 
be used for long periods of time, 
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. (
P.218)
●As the electronic key always 
receives radio waves, the battery 
will become depleted  even if the 
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the 
electronic key battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary.
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote contro l does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes  smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by your-
self ( P.493). However, as there is 
a danger that the electronic key may 
be damaged, it is recommended 
that replacement is carried out by 
your Toyota dealer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do 
not leave the electronic key within 
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances that produce a 
magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones  and battery chargers
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the 
vehicle for longer than necessary, 
even if the smart key system is not 
operated, the key battery may 
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.
