Automatic Collision Notification
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehi-
cle occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services pro-
vider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

∗

: If equipped

ERA-GLONASS is a telematics service that uses Global Naviga-
tion Satellite System (GLONASS) data and embedded cellular
technology to enable the following emergency calls to be made:
Automatic emergency calls (Automatic Collision Notification)
and manual emergency calls (by pressing the “SOS” button).
This service is required by Eurasian Customs Union Regula-
tions.

Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency, push the “SOS” button to reach the
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The answering agent will
determine your vehicle’s location, assess the emergency, and dis-
patch the necessary assistance required.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the agent that you are not
experiencing an emergency.

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10
seconds and then the green indicator light will illuminate for 2 sec-
onds, indicating that the system is enabled. The indicator lights indi-
cate the following:
● If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is

enabled.

● If the green indicator light flashes, an emergency call is being made

(either automatically or manually).

● If no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
● If the red indicator light illuminates any time other than immediately

after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunctioning
or the backup battery may be depleted. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.

The service life of the backup battery is 3 years or more.
