This information generally
records the state of a compo-
nent, a module, a system, or the
environment, for instance:
• Operating states of system components, e.g., fill levels,
tire inflation pressure, battery
status.
• Malfunctions and faults in important system compo-
nents, for instance lights and
brakes.
• Responses by the vehicle to special situations such as air-
bag deployment or engage-
ment of the driving stability
control systems.
• Information on vehicle-dam- aging events.
The data is required to perform
the control device functions.
Furthermore, it also serves to
recognize and correct malfunc-
tions, and helps the vehicle
manufacturer to optimize vehicle
functions.
The majority of this data is tran-
sient and is only processed
within the vehicle itself. Only a
small share of the data is stored
event-related in event or fault
memories.
When servicing, for instance
during repairs, service pro-
cesses, warranty cases, and
quality assurance measures,
this technical information can be
read out from the vehicle
together with the vehicle identifi- cation number.
Your Toyota dealer can read out
the information. The socket for
OBD Onboard Diagnosis
required by law in the vehicle is
used to read out the data.
The data is collected, pro-
cessed, and used by the rele-
vant organizations in the service
network. The data documents
technical conditions of the vehi-
cle, helps with the identification
of the fault, compliance with
warranty obligations and quality
improvement.
Furthermore, the manufacturer
has product monitoring duties to
meet in line with product liability
law. To fulfill these duties, the
vehicle manufacturer needs
technical data from the vehicle.
The data from the vehicle can
also be used to check customer
claims for warranty and guar-
anty.
Fault and event memories in the
vehicle can be reset when your
Toyota dealer performs repair or
servicing work.
Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, comfort and Customize
settings can be stored in the
vehicle and modified or reset at

Safety information
WARNING
Individual components can be hot
after triggering of the airbag sys-
tem. There is a risk of injury. Do
not touch individual components.
WARNING
Improperly executed work can
lead to failure, malfunction or
unintentional triggering of the air-
bag system. In the case of a mal-
function, the airbag system might
not trigger as intended despite the
accident severity. There is a risk
of injuries or danger to life. Have
the airbag system checked,
repaired, dismantled and
scrapped by your Toyota dealer.

be used in place of them, to
increase their effectiveness as
an occupant protection device.
SRS is an acrony m for Supplemen-
tal Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the
seat belts restrain the occupants
in their seats, but if the impact of
the collision is especially
severe, there is danger of an
occupant’s head and chest con-
tacting the steering wheel, dash-
board and windshield. In this
case, the SRS front airbags and
SRS knee airbags deploy
(inflate), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the
impact on the occupants and
restrain them from contacting
the steering wheel, etc. with
their head, chest and knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS
knee airbags deploy only when
an impact exceeding a certain
threshold is detected. In a colli-
sion, even if the impact is
severe enough to cause the
vehicle body to deform, the SRS
airbags may not deploy if the
impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash
structures of the vehicle body. If
the force of the collision does
not cause the airbags to deploy,
the seatbelts will protect the
occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it
will inflate nearly instantly, it may
impact an occupant and cause an injury, or the loud noise emit-
ted by ignition or deployment
may cause temporary partial
loss of hearing. Also, as an air-
bag and nearby parts will be
extremely hot after the airbag
deploys, touching them may
cause burns. For these reasons,
deployment of the airbags is not
entirely risk free. Therefore, in
order to reduce this risk, the air-
bags are designed to only
deploy when additional reduc-
tion of the impact applied to the
occupants in a collision is nec-
essary.
WARNING
Wear the seatbelt correctly and sit
with the correct posture.
If you sit with your head too close
to the steering wheel, when the
SRS front airbag deploys, it may
apply a very large impact to your
body. Sit in the driver

applied to the front of the
vehicle in a collision
 When the SRS airbag warn-

The airbags are not designed to
be used in place of the seat belts.
The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are
designed to deploy and protect
the torso and head of occupants
when a severe impact is applied
to the side of the vehicle.
In the event of a side collision,
the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag on that side
deploys (inflates), instantly cre-
ating an air cushion to help
reduce the impact on the occu-
pants and restrain them from
contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and
torso. When an airbag deploys,
as it will inflate nearly instantly, it
may impact an occupant and
cause an injury, or the loud
noise emitted by ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-
rary partial loss of hearing. Also,
as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them
may cause burns. For these rea-
sons, deployment of the airbags
is not entirely risk free. There-
fore, in order to reduce this risk,
the airbags are designed to only

Safety information
WARNING
High gross weight can overheat
the tires, damage them internally
and cause a sudden drop in tire
inflation pressure. Driving charac-
teristics may be negatively
impacted, reducing lane stability,
lengthening the braking distances
and changing the steering
response. There is a risk of an
accident. Pay attention to the per-
mitted load capaci ty of the tires
and never exceed the permitted
gross weight.
WARNING
Loose objects or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle,
for instance mobile phones, can
be thrown into the car's interior
while driving, for instance in the
event of an acci dent or during
braking and evasive maneuvers.
There is a risk of injury. Secure
loose objects or devices with a
cable connection to the vehicle in
the car's interior.
WARNING
Improperly stowed objects can
shift and be thrown into the car's
interior, for instance in the event
of an accident or during braking
and evasive maneuvers. Vehicle
occupants can be hit and injured.
There is a risk of injury. Stow and
secure objects and cargo prop-
erly.
NOTICE
Fluids in the cargo area can
cause damage. There is a risk of
damage to property. Make sure
that no fluids leak in the cargo
area.

2605-1. DRIVING TIPS
Supra Owner's Manual
Additional weight increases fuel
consumption.
Attached parts on the vehicle
impair the aerodynamics and
increase the fuel consumption.
Open windows increase air
resistance and therefore lead to
greater fuel consumption.
Tires can affect consumption in
various ways, for instance tire
size may influence consump-
tion.
Check and, if needed, correct
the tire inflation pressure at least
twice a month and before start-
ing on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
thus raises fuel consumption
and tire wear.Do not wait for the engine to
warm-up while the vehicle
remains stationary. Start driving
right away, but at moderate
engine speeds.
This is the quickest way of
warming the cold engine up to
operating temperature.
Driving smoothly and proactively
reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary acceleration
and braking.
By maintaining a suitable dis-
tance to the vehicle driving
ahead of you.
Driving at low engine speeds
lowers fuel consumption and
reduces wear.
If necessary, observe the vehi-
cle's gear shift indicator, refer to
page 142.
When approaching a red light,
take your foot off the accelerator
and let the vehicle coast to a
halt.
