This vehicle is equipped with aevent data recorder (EDR). The maipur- pose of aEDR is to record, icertaicrash or near crash-like situations, such as aair bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist iunderstanding 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 ithis vehicle is designed to record such data as: • How various systems iyour 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 cahelp 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 sit- uatiooccurs; 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 aEDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. Iadditioto the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the informatioif they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

l Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded iaEDR to a third party except when: • Aagreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is obtained
• Iresponse to aofficial request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency
• For use by Lexus ia law suit

However, if necessary, Lexus may: • Use the data for research ovehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing informatioabout the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
