®

 technology will not be possible

during Safety Connect.

●

Safety Connect is available beginning Fall 2009 on select Toyota models.
Contact with the Safety Connect response center is dependent upon the
telematics device being in operative condition, cellular connection availabil-
ity, and GPS satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the
response center or receive emergency service support. Enrollment and
Telematics Subscription Service Agreement are required. A variety of sub-
scription terms are available; charges vary by subscription term selected.

●

Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle
Location, and Enhanced Roadside Assistance will function in the United
States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada. No Safety Connect
services will function outside of the United States in countries other than
Canada.

Languages
The Safety Connect response center will offer support in multiple languages.
The Safety Connect system will offer voice prompts in English and Spanish.
Please indicate your language of choice when enrolling.

■

When contacting the response center
You may be unable to contact the response center if the network is busy.

When the power switch is turned to ON mode, the red indicator light
comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator
light comes on, indicating that the service is active. 
The following indicator light patterns indicate specific system usage
conditions:
● Green indicator light on = Active service
● Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process
● Red indicator light (except at vehicle start-up) = System malfunction

(contact your Toyota dealer)

● No indicator light (off) = Safety Connect service not active

■

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to
speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency.
If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.

Exposure to radio frequency signals

The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-

ment) Report 86 [1986]

● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation

Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from universities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to
the geographic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.

■

Deviation calibration

Stop the vehicle.

Press and hold the button for
6 seconds.

A number (1 to 15) appears on
the compass display.

Press the button and referring to the map above, select the num-
ber of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the cali-
bration is complete.

Circling calibration

Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.

Press and hold the button for
9 seconds.

“C” appears on the compass
display.

Drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8
km/h) or less in a circle until
a direction is displayed.

If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the
block until the direction is dis-
played.

■

Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

●

The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.

●

The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

●

The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to inter-
ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under
a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-
tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).

●

The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

●

The 12-volt battery has been disconnected.

●

A door is open.

WARNING

■

While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.

■

When doing the circling calibration
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neigh-
borhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling cali-
bration.

NOTICE

■

To avoid compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror. 
Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.

■

To ensure normal operation of the compass

●

Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the
earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.

●

During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

6-1. Maintenance and care

● Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle

body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.

● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a

chamois.

● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly

with water.

● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.

■

Automatic car washes

●

Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.

●

Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle's paint.

●

Vehicles with a rear spoiler: In certain automatic car washes, the rear spoiler
may interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehicle from
being cleaned properly or result in damage to the rear spoiler.

■

High pressure car washes

●

Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows. 

●

Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.

When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol-
lowing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:

●

Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle
while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not
stolen.)

●

Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key sys-
tem. (

→P. 162)

■

Aluminum wheels (if equipped)

●

Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.

●

Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.

●

To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following pre-
cautions.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-

ing or parking in hot weather

■

Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

WARNING

■

When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components, etc. to catch fire.

■

Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipes can cause burns.

■

Precaution regarding the rear bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may mal-
function. If this occurs, avoid using the system and consult your Toyota
dealer.
