Vehicle Data Recording; Data Usage - Lexus RX 450H Owner's Manual

Vehicle data recording

The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer 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 distance and relative speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
• Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-collision braking
function or the pre-collision brake assist function was operating)
The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or images of the
inside of the vehicle.

Data usage

●
Lexus may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunctions,
conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus 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 Lexus 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 function is dis-
abled, data from when the pre-collision system operates will not be available.
