721-2. Emergency assistance
■Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. T he
responding agent receives the v ehicle’s location and attempts to
speak with the vehicl e occupants to assess the level of emergency.
If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest eme r-
gency services provider to descr ibe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. Af ter filing
a police report, call the Customer Experience Center at 1-800-3 31-
4331 in the United States, 1-877-8 55-8377 in Puerto Rico or 1-888-
869-6828 in Canada, and follow the prompts for Safety Connect t o
initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law enforcement with recovery of a sto len
vehicle, Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, und er
certain circumstances, be shared with third parties to locate y our
vehicle. Further information is a vailable at Toyota.com in the United
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
■Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency on t he road, push the “SOS” button to
reach the Safety Connect respons e center. The answering agent
will determine your vehicle’s loca tion, assess the emergency, and
dispatch the necessary assistanc e required.

agent that you are not experiencing an emergency.

response-center agent, who can he lp with a wide range of needs,
