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

Roadside Assistance services and their limitations, please see the
Safety Connect Terms and Conditions, which are available at

Important! Read this informati on before using Safety Connect.
■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 gui delines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the fo llowing U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stan dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (Internationa l Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific lit erature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from uni versities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed t he 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.
