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.

Operating the system

NOTICE

■

To ensure the system oper-

ates correctly

Do not modify or remove the sys-

tem. If modified or removed, the 

proper operation of the system 

cannot be guaranteed.

■

Items to check before lock-
ing the vehicle

To prevent unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm and vehicle 
theft, make sure of the following:



Nobody is in the vehicle.



The windows are closed 
before the alarm is set.



No valuables or other per-
sonal items are left in the 
vehicle.

■

Setting

Close the doors, back door and 
hood, and lock all the doors. 
The system will set automati-
cally after 30 seconds.

The indicator light changes from 
being on to flashing when the sys-
tem is set.

■

Deactivating or stopping

Do one of the following to deac-
tivate or stop the alarms:



Unlock the doors.



Turn the engine switch to 
ACC or ON, or start the 
engine. (The alarm will be 
deactivated or stopped after a 
few seconds.)

■

Setting the alarm

The alarm can be set if all the doors 

are closed even with the hood open.

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a mainte-

nance-free type alarm system.

■

Triggering of the alarm

The alarm may be triggered in the 

following situations: 

(Stopping the alarm deactivates the 

alarm system.)

●

The doors are unlocked using the 

key or the mechanical key.

Alarm

*

The alarm uses light and 
sound to give an alert when 
an intrusion is detected. 
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 or wire-
less remote control. (The 
doors will lock again auto-
matically.)



The hood is opened.

Setting/deactivating/stop-
ping the alarm system

1-4. Theft deterrent system

●

A person inside the vehicle opens 

a door, back door or hood, or 

unlocks the vehicle.

●

The battery is recharged or 

replaced when the vehicle is 

locked. (

P.345)

■

Alarm-operated door lock

In the following cases, depending 

on the situation, the door may auto-

matically lock to prevent improper 

entry into the vehicle:

●

When a person remaining in the 

vehicle unlocks the door and the 

alarm is activated.

●

While the alarm is activated, a 

person remaining in the vehicle 

unlocks the door.

●

When recharging or replacing the 

battery

If a door is unlocked with the 
mechanical key while the alarm 
is being set, the pre-alarm will 
sound for 10 seconds.
If either the door is locked again 
or the pre-alarm is stopped 
within those 10 seconds, an 
alarm will sound.
Do any of the following in order 
to deactivate or stop the 
pre-alarm:



Close the doors, and lock all 
doors by smart access sys-
tem or wireless remote con-
trol.



Turn the engine switch to 
ACC or ON, or start the 
engine. (The alarm will be 
deactivated and stop after a 
few seconds.)

WARNING

■

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.

MANUAL”.

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.
