Safety Connect Services Information

●

Phone calls using the vehicle’s Bluetooth

®

 technology will not be possible

when Safety Connect is active and in use.

●

Safety Connect is available beginning 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
condition, cellular connection availability, and GPS satellite signal reception,
which  can  limit  the  ability  to  reach  the  response  center  or  receive  emer-
gency  service  support.  Enrollment  and  Telematics  Subscription  Service
Agreement  are  required.  A  variety  of  subscription  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 available
in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.

●

Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle and
Enhanced Road Assistance are not available in the U.S. Virgin Islands. For
vehicles first sold in the U.S. Virgin Islands, no Safety Connect services will
function in or outside the U.S. Virgin Islands.

●

Safety Connect services are not subject to section 255 of the Telecommuni-
cations Act and the device is not TTY compatible.

■

Languages

The Safety Connect response center will offer support in multiple languages.
The Safety Connect system will offer voice prompts in English, Spanish, and
French. 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 engine switch is turned to ON, 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.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Customer Experience 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-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under
certain  circumstances,  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 Button (“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to
reach  the  Safety  Connect  response  center.  The  answering  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.

■

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.

Engine immobilizer system

Vehicles without a smart key sys-
tem:
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 system has been
canceled.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
The indicator light flashes after the engine switch has been turned off
to indicate that the system is operating.
The  indicator  light  stops  flashing  after  the  engine  switch  has  been
turned to ACC or ON to indicate that the system has been canceled.

The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent
the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis-
tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer. 
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi-
cle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)

●

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. 
Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer.

■

Liquid crystal display

Small  spots  or  light  spots  may  appear  on  the  display. This  phenomenon  is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.

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 down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  possibly  an
accident resulting in personal death or injury.

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 recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside 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 elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic 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

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

again.

●

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals  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 effec-

following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 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  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  smart  key
