depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was
traveling.
These data can help provide a bet-
ter understanding of the circum-
stances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of person-
ally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
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 govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle
safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for
research purposes without disclos-
ing information about the specific
vehicle or vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner 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 by your Toyota dealer
before you scrap your vehicle.
