Enhanced Roadside Assis-
tance

Enhanced Roadside Assistance 
adds GPS data to the already 
included warranty-based Toyota 
roadside service.
Subscribers can press the 
“SOS” button to reach a Safety 
Connect response-center agent, 
who can help with a wide range 
of needs, such as: towing, flat 
tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a 
description of the Enhanced 
Roadside Assistance services 
and their limitations, please see 
the Safety Connect Terms and 
Conditions, which are available 
at Toyota.com in the United 
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto 
Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.

Important! Read this informa-
tion before using Safety Con-
nect.

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.

1-4.Theft deterrent 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 can-
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 
starting if a key has not 
been previously registered 
in the vehicle’s on-board 
computer.

Never leave the keys inside 
the vehicle when you leave 
the vehicle.

This system is designed to 
help prevent vehicle theft 
but does not guarantee 
absolute security against all 
vehicle thefts.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the system oper-

ates correctly

Do not modify or remove the sys-

The alarm is triggered in the 
following situations when 
the alarm is set:



A locked door or back door 
is unlocked or opened in 
any way other than using 
the entry function, wireless 
remote control or mechani-
cal key. (The doors will lock 
again automatically.)



If a safety system warning 

light does not come on

Should a safety system light such 

as the ABS and SRS warning light 

not come on when you start the 

engine, this could mean that 

these systems are not available to 

help protect you in an accident, 

which could result in death or seri-

ous injury. Have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota dealer 

immediately if this occurs.

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,

has cooled completely.
