WARNING
■For your safety 
● Please drive safely. 
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emergency Call 
in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergen- 
cies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please
drive safely and fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety. 
● In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority. 
● If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle 
and evacuate to a safe area immediately. 
● Since the system detects shocks, the automatic reporting may not always 
occur synchronized with the operation of the airbag system. (If the vehicle
is struck from behind, etc.) 
● For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving. 
Making calls during driving may caus e mishandling of the steering wheel, 
which may lead to unexpected accidents.  
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before mak- 
ing the Emergency Call. 
● When changing fuses, please use the specified fuses. Using other fuses 
may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit and lead to a fire. 
● Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a 
fire. Stop using the system immediately and consult any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage 
Do not pour any liquids onto the “SOS” button panel, etc. and do not impact 
it. 
■ If the “SOS” button panel, speaker or microphone malfunctions during 
an Emergency Call or manual maintenance check 
It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls, confirm the system status, 
or communicate with the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center operator. If 
any of the above equipment is damaged, please consult any authorized
Toyota retailer, Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or 
injury. 
● Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use

● Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent. 
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix. 
● Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses 
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer as soon as possible.
