Important information about your Toyota

Hybrid system on your vehicle

Occupant restraint systems

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics dif- ferent from other conventional vehicles. You must under- stand the characteristics of your vehicle very well and han- dle it carefully. Read this manual and follow the instruc- tions. Section 1−1 explains the characteristics of the hy- brid system.

Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read. Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern- ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys- tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.

The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ- ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury.

Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing contact of the head, chest and knee with interior portions of the vehicle.

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air- bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami- ly in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle.

Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer- tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be- sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR).

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information:

D Engine speed D Whether the brake pedal was applied or not D Vehicle speed D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed D Position of the transmission selector lever D Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat

belts or not

D Driver’s seat position D Front passenger’s occupant classification

D SRS airbag deployment data D SRS airbag system diagnostic data

If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control (VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may con- tain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations which include activating the VSC under which the VSC EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may record some or all of the following information:

D Behavior of the vehicle D Steering wheel angle D Vehicle speed D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed D To what extent the brake pedal was applied D To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of

the 4 wheels

D Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data

The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.

2007 CAMRY HV from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33749U)

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:

D An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas-

ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained

D Officially requested by the police or other authorities D Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit D Ordered by the court

However, if necessary Toyota will:

D Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety

performance

D Disclose the data to a third party for research pur- poses without disclosing details of the vehicle owner, and only when it is deemed necessary

D Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi- for

to a non−Toyota organization
