YARIS SEDAN_OM_OM99S50z_(U)

7-4. Event Data Recorder

Event Data Recorder (U.S.A. and Canada)

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main

purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like sit-

uations, 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/

fastened;

● 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 circum-

stances in which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE:

EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash or

near crash-like 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. However, other par-

ties, 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.

Toyota will not disclose any of the data recorded in an EDR to a third

party unless:

● A written agreement from the vehicle owner or the lessee is

obtained

● Officially requested by the police or other law enforcement authori-

ties

● Used as a defense for Toyota in a lawsuit, claim, or arbitration

● Ordered by a judge or court
