The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec- 
tronic systems such as:  
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system 
● Toyota Safety Sense 
● Cruise control system 
● Anti-lock brake system 
● SRS airbag system 
● Seat belt pretensioner system 
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or special 
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system. 
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi- 
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail- 
able on request at any authorized Toyota  retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain 
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner 
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) 
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, 
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases. 
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. 
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module 
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may 
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. 
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer- 
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of 
the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot. 
● The windshield may crack. 
● Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS/EVAK: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system 
is designed to send an emergency call* to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con- 
trol center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push 
the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to
ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an 
emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. 
( P. 528)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 531) 
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) 
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the 
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform). 
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following 
situations: 
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, 
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in 
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a 
truck 
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre- 
tensioners will activate. 
● Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front 
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc- 
cupied.

HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera- 
tures. 
• Engine oil 
• Engine coolant 
• Washer fluid 
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery. 
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire 
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match 
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions: 
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. 
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away 
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing. 
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, 
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield. 
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu- 
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the 
tires or on the brakes. 
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before 
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man- 
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

The system name differs depending on the country.
The Emergency Call system is a device installed on a vehicle to 
determine its location and movement direction (using GLONASS 
[Global Navigation Satellite System] and GPS [Global Position- 
ing System] signals), and ensure the generation and transmis-
sion of vehicle information (in a nonadjustable form) in case of 
traffic accidents or other incidents on motor roads in the Rus- 
sian Federation/Kazakhstan. In addition, it ensures two-way
voice communication between the vehicle and an ERA- 
GLONASS/EVAK system operator through cellular networks 
(GSM). 
Automatic Emergency Calls (via Automatic Collision Notifica- 
tion) and manual Emergency Calls (by pressing the “SOS” but- 
ton) can be made to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center. 
This service is mandatory according to the technical regulations 
of the Customs Union.

■Automatic Emergency Calls 
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call 
the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator 
receives the vehicle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehi- 
cle VIN, and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to 
assess the situation. If the occupants are unable to communicate, 
the operator automatically treats the call as an emergency and con- 
tacts the nearest emergency services provider (112 system etc.) to 
describe the situation and request that assistance be sent to the 
location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 531) 
■Manual Emergency Calls 
In the event of an emergency, press the “SOS” button to call the 
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator will 
determine your vehicle’s location, assess the situation, and dis- 
patch the necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator that you are 
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 531)
