■ When contacting th e response center
You may be unable to contact the response center if the network is busy.
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out a smart key system) or the engine switch is turned to IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the red indicator light
comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator
light comes on, indicating t hat the service is active.
The following indicator light pattern s indicate specific system usage
conditions:
● Green indicator light on = Active service
● Green indicator light flashing = Sa fety 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 ve hicle’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 descri be the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.
