Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle. 
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not  warrant  these  products  and  is  not  responsible  for  their  performance,
repair,  or  replacement,  or  for  any  damage  they  may  cause  to,  or  adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety
or  durability,  and  may  even  violate  governmental  regulations.  In  addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as: 

Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

Toyota Safety Sense P (if equipped)

Cruise control system (if equipped)

Anti-lock brake system

SRS airbag system

Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

The vehicle is equipped with sophisticated computers that will record certain
data, such as:
The  recorded  data  varies  according  to  the  vehicle  grade  level  and  options
with which it is equipped. 
These  computers  do  not  record  conversations  or  sounds,  and  only  record
images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.

• Engine speed/Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving assist systems, such as the ABS and pre-

collision system

• Images from the camera (available only when certain safety systems are

activated, which varies depending on the vehicle specifications).

Data Transmission

Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers to Toyota
without notification to you.

Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, 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 your Toyota dealer.

The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the function is
disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates will not be avail-
able.

ota, please visit www.toyota.com/privacyvts/.

If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to those ser-
vices,  please  refer  to  the  Safety  Connect  Telematics  Subscription  Service
Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.

CAMRY_U

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose  of  an  EDR  is  to  record,  in  certain  crash  or  near  crash-like  situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-
ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation. 
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 vehi-

cle) 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 disclosing

information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

CAMRY_U

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 accident 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.

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your  vehicle  has  components  that  may  contain  perchlorate. These  compo-
nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-
trol batteries.

WARNING

General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. 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 accidents.
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  vehicle  or  shift  the  vehicle  into  neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof or 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.
