LC500h: High voltage parts and
cables on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
LC500h: Unwanted noise may occur
in the reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain 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 con-
versations 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

a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee if the vehi-

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 airbag 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 dynam-
ics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less. However, data may not be
recorded depending on the severity
and type of a crash.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
 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
