1-3. Emergency assistance
WARNING
• 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 battery’s voltage decreases or
there is a disconnection, the system may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
●The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area,
depending on the available infra- structure in the country.
■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 this system is to assist you in making the Emer-gency Call in case of accidents
such as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergencies, 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 deploy when the sys-tem is operating normally, the sys-tem makes emergency call. The
system also makes emergency call when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the airbags
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 surroundings before making 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 autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
