Safety Connect is available begin-

ning Fall 2009 on select Toyota 

models (in the contiguous United 

States only). Contact with the 

Safety Connect response center 

is dependent upon the telematics 

device being in operative condi-

tion, cellular connection availabil-

ity, and GPS satellite signal 

reception, which can limit the abil-

ity to reach the response center or 

receive emergency service sup-

port. Enrollment and Telematics 

Subscription Service Agreement 

are required. A variety of subscrip-

tion terms are available; charges 

vary by subscription term selected 

and location.

Automatic Collision Notification, 

Emergency Assistance and Stolen 

Vehicle Location are available in 

the United States, including 

Hawaii and Alaska, Puerto Rico 

and Canada, and Enhanced 

Roadside Assistance are avail-

able in the United States, Puerto 

Rico and Canada.

Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation

In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, 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 occu-
pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically 
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.

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety 
Connect can work with local 
authorities to assist them in 
locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police 
report, call the Customer Experi-
ence Center at 1-800-331-4331 
in the United States, 
1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico 

or 1- 888-869-6828 in Canada, 
and follow the prompts for 
Safety Connect to initiate this 
service. 
In addition to assisting law 
enforcement with recovery of a 
stolen vehicle, Safety-Con-
nect-equipped vehicle location 
data may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third 
parties to locate your vehicle. 
Further information is available 
at Toyota.com in the United 
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto 
Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.

Emergency Assistance But-
ton (“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on 
the road, push the “SOS” button 
to reach the Safety Connect 
response center. The answer-
ing agent will determine your 
vehicle’s location, assess the 
emergency, and dispatch the 
necessary assistance required.

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

Enhanced Roadside Assis-
tance

Enhanced Roadside Assistance 
adds GPS data to the already 
included warranty-based Toyota 
roadside service.

Exposure to radio fre-
quency 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 wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with 
the safety standards 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 

Measurement) Report 86 
[1986]

ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on 
comprehensive and periodic 
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians 
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and 
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to 
develop the ANSI Standard 
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect 
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

system

The indicator light flashes after 
the key has been removed from 
the engine switch to indicate 
that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the registered key has 

been inserted into the engine 
switch to indicate that the sys-
tem has been canceled.

Vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem

The indicator light flashes after 
the engine switch has been 
turned off to indicate that the

celed.

System maintenance

The vehicle has a mainte-

nance-free type engine immobilizer 

system.

Conditions that may cause the 

system to malfunction

If the grip portion of the key is in 

contact with a metallic object

If the key is in close proximity to or 

touching a key to the security sys-

tem (key with a built-in transpon-

der chip) of another vehicle

Engine immobilizer 

system

The vehicle’s keys have 
built-in transponder chips 
that prevent the engine from

WARNING

The information display at 

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to 

warm up before using the liquid 

crystal information display. At 

extremely low temperatures, the 

information display monitor may 

respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag 

between the driver’s shifting and 

the new gear number appearing 

on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly 

an accident resulting in death or 

injury.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the 

engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle 

of the tachometer enter the red 

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating 

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone 

(H). In this case, immediately 

stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it 

has cooled completely.

WARNING

The information display at 

low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to 

warm up before using the liquid 

crystal information display. At 

extremely low temperatures, the 

information display monitor may 

respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag 

between the driver’s shifting and 

the new gear number appearing 

on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and exces-

sive engine braking and possibly 

an accident resulting in death or 

injury.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the 

engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle 

of the tachometer enter the red 

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating 

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone 

(H). In this case, immediately 

stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it 

has cooled completely.

To reduce key battery depletion 

when the electronic key is to not 

be used for long periods of time, 

set the electronic key to the bat-

tery-saving mode. (

P.127)

As the electronic key always 

receives radio waves, the battery 

will become depleted even if the 

electronic key is not used. The fol-

lowing symptoms indicate that the 

electronic key battery may be 

depleted. Replace the battery

WARNING

To prevent an accident

Observe the following precautions 

while driving the vehicle.

Failure to do so may result in a

being thrown out of the vehicle, 

resulting in death or serious injury.

Ensure that all doors are prop-

erly closed and locked.

Do not pull the inside door han-

dle while driving.

buttons are in the locked posi-

tion.

Set the rear door child-protector 

locks when children are seated 

in the rear seats.

When opening or closing a 

door

Check the surroundings of the 

vehicle such as whether the vehi-

cle is on an incline, whether there 

is enough space for a door to 

open and whether a strong wind 

is blowing. When opening or clos-

ing the door, hold the door handle 

tightly to prepare for any unpre-

dictable movement.

When using the wireless 

remote control or the key and 

operating the power win-

dows or moon roof (if

pectedly while driving and hit 

near-by objects or luggage in 

the trunk may be thrown out, 

causing an accident.

Do not allow children to play in 

the trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked 

in the trunk, they could suffer 

from heat exhaustion, suffoca-

tion or other injuries.

Do not allow a child to open or 

close the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk 

lid to open unexpectedly, or 

cause the child’s hands, head, 

or neck to be caught by the 

closing trunk lid.

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. 

In the event of sudden braking or 

a collision, they are susceptible to 

death or serious injury.

Using the trunk

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts 

of the body to be caught, resulting 

in serious injury.

Note for the entry function

Even when the electronic key is 

within the effective range (detec-

tion areas), the system may not 

operate properly in the following 

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to 

the window or outside door han-

dle, near the ground, or in a high 

place when the doors are locked 

or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the 

ground or in a high place, or too 

close to the center of the rear 

bumper when the trunk is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, rear package tray or 

floor, or in the door pockets or 

glove box when the engine is 

started or engine switch modes 

are changed.

Do not leave the electronic key on 

top of the instrument panel or near 

the door pockets when exiting the 

vehicle. Depending on the radio 

wave reception conditions, it may 

be detected by the antenna out-

side the cabin and the door will 

become lockable from the outside, 

possibly trapping the electronic 

key inside the vehicle.

As long as the electronic key is 

within the effective range, the 

doors may be locked or unlocked 

by anyone. However, only the 

doors detecting the electronic key 

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

Even if the electronic key is not 

inside the vehicle, it may be possi-

ble to start the engine if the elec-

tronic key is near the window.

The doors may unlock or lock if a 

large amount of water splashes on 

the door handle, such as in the 

rain or in a car wash when the 

electronic key is within the effec-

tive range. (The doors will auto-

matically be locked after 

approximately 60 seconds if the 

doors are not opened and closed.)

If the wireless remote control is 

used to lock the doors when the 

electronic key is near the vehicle, 

there is a possibility that the door 

may not be unlocked by the entry 

function. (Use the wireless remote 

control to unlock the doors.)

If the doors have been locked 

from outside of the vehicle and are 

then not unlocked using the wire-

less remote control or smart key 

system, the engine cannot be 

started using the smart key sys-

tem. (However, if the doors have 

been locked from inside the vehi-

cle, the engine can be started 

using the smart key system.)

If it is necessary to start the 

engine, it can be started using the 

procedure in “If the electronic key 

dose not operate properly” 

(

P.545).

Touching the door lock or unlock 

sensor while wearing gloves may 

prevent lock or unlock operation.

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ognition signals will be shown up 

to two consecutive times. After 

this, no recognition signals will be 

given.

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 following correc-

tion procedures to wash the vehi-

cle:

• Place the electronic key in a loca-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from 

the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 

that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the 

smart key system. (

P.127)

If the electronic key is inside the 

vehicle and a door handle 

becomes wet during a car wash, a 

message may be shown on the 

multi-information display and a 

buzzer will sound outside the vehi-

cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all

the doors.

The lock sensor may not work 

properly if it comes into contact 

with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean 

the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again.

A sudden handle operation or a 

handle operation immediately 

after entering the effective range 

may prevent the doors from being 

unlocked. Touch the door unlock 

sensor and check that the doors 

are unlocked before pulling the 

door handle again.

If there is another electronic key in 

the detection area, it may take 

slightly longer to unlock the doors 

after the door handle is gripped.

When the vehicle is not driven 

for extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do 

not leave the electronic key within 

6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.

The smart key system can be 

deactivated in advance. (

P.581)

Setting the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode helps to reduce 

key battery depletion. (

P.127)

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic 

key when operating the system. 

Do not get the electronic key too 

close to the vehicle when operat-

ing the system from the outside of 

the vehicle.

Depending on the position and hold-

ing condition of the electronic key, 

the key may not be detected cor-

rectly and the system may not oper-

ate properly. (The alarm may go off 

accidentally, or the door lock pre-

vention function may not operate.)

Do not leave the electronic key 

inside the trunk.

The key confinement prevention 

function may not operate, depend-

ing on the location of the key (the 

inside edge of the trunk), condi-

tions (inside a metal bag, close to 

metallic objects) and the radio 

waves in the surrounding area.
