WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may
not be made
●It may not be possible to make
Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergen cy services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel -
lular phone service area, it may be
difficult to connec t to the eCall con- trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases,
even though the system attempts to connect to the eCall control center,
you may not be able to connect to
the eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emer -
gency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu -
lar 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 Emer -
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys -
tem 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 approxi -
mately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.
●If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnec -
tion, the system may not be able to
connect to the eCa ll control center.
■When the Emergency Call sys-
tem 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.
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.
The function of t his system is to
assist you in making the Emer - gency Call in case of accidents
such as traffic a ccidents or sudden
medical emergenc ies, 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.
●If the airbags dep loy when the sys-
tem is operating normally, the sys- tem makes emerge ncy call. The
system also makes emergency call
when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over , even if the air-
bags do not deploy.
●For safety, do not make the Emer -
gency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering
wheel, which may lead to unex -
pected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your su rroundings before
making the Emergency Call.

2264-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
• The electronic key is too close to the
window or outside door handle, near the ground, or in a high place when
the doors are lo cked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage co ver or floor, or
in the door pockets or glove box when
the hybrid system is started or power switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave recep - tion conditions, it m ay be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec -
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range , the doors may be
locked or unlocke d by anyone. How- ever, only the door s detecting the
electronic key can be used to lock or
unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system if the electronic key
is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large
amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in t he rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within
the effective range . (The doors will
automatically be locked after approxi - mately 30 seconds if the doors are not
opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehi cle, there is a pos- sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while
wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock operation. Remove the gloves
and touch the lo ck sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sens or, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu -
tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec - tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi - cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav - ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. ( →P.225)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi-
cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis -
play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor m ay not work prop- erly if it comes int o contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the lower part of
the door handle.
●A sudden approach to the effective
range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the
doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon -
ger to unlock the doors after the door
handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6 ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. ( →P.633)
●Battery-saving mode can reduce the power consumption of electronic keys.

WARNING
■Caution regarding interference
with electro nic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni -
zation therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defi - brillators should maintain a reason -
able distance between themselves
and the smart entry & start system
antennas. ( →P.223) The radio waves may affect the
operation of such devices. If neces -
sary, the entry func tion can be dis- abled. Ask any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for details, such as t he frequency of
radio waves and ti ming of the emit-
ted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if y ou should disable

●User of any electrical medical
device other than implantable car -
diac pacemakers, cardiac resyn - chronization therapy-pacemakers
or implantable cardioverter defi -
brillators should consult the manu - facturer of th e device for
information about its operation
under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex -
pected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
Ask any authorized T oyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details for dis -
abling the entry function.
