QAutomatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the eCall control center.* The answering operator receives the vehi-
cle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehicle VIN, and
attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the situa-
tion. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the operator
automatically treats the call as an emergency and contacts 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. 101)
QManual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency, press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answering operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situation, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover
before pressing the “SOS” but-
ton.
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. 101)

WARNING
QWhen the Emergency Call may not be made
O 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 eCall control center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-
nect to the eCall control center, you may not be able to connect to the
eCall 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 eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may
not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish
without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approximately 30
seconds to indicate this disconnection.
O If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
O The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area, depend-
ing on the available infrastructure in the country.
Q 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.
