WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
● It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the following sit-
uations. In such cases, report to emergency services provider (112 system
etc.) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular phone service area, it may be
difficult to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center if the
reception is poor or the line is busy. In such cases, even though the sys-
tem attempts to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center,
you may not be able to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center to make Emergency Calls and contact emergency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, the Emer-
gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting
the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emergency
Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts to
connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center. However, if it can-
not connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center due to poor
radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the cel-
lular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indica-
tor light will blink for approximately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.
● If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system
may not be able to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.
■ When the Emergency Call system is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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.

• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■ Brake
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing noises or vibrations. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed,
drive slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
WARNING
■ When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components etc. to catch fire.

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
■ Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P. 46)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
