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  sys- 
tem, etc.) by other means such as nearby public phones. 
• Even  when  the  vehicle  is  in  the  cellular  phone  service  area,  i t  may  be 
difficult  to connect  to the  eCall  control  center if the  recepti on  is poor or 
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempt s to con- 
nect  to  the  eCall  control  center,  you  may  not  be  able  to  connec t  to  the 
eCall  control  center  to  make  Emergency  Calls  and  contact  emerge ncy 
services. 
• When  the  vehicle  is  out  of  the  cellular  phone  service  area,  th e  Emer- 
gency Calls cannot be made. 
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, in dicator 
lights,  microphone,  speaker,  DCM,  antenna,  or  any  wires  connect ing 
the  equipment)  is  malfunctioning,  damaged  or  broken,  the  Emerge ncy 
Call cannot be made. 
• During  an  Emergency  Call,  the  system  makes  repeated  attempts  t o 
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot conn ect to the 
eCall control center  due  to poor radio  wave reception, the  syst em  may 
not  be  able  to  connect  to  the  cellular  network  and  the  call  may  finish 
without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for appr oximately 30 
seconds to indicate this disconnection. 
● If  the  12-volt  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,  depend- 
ing on the available infrastructure in the country. 
■ When the Emergency Call system is replaced with a new one 
The  Emergency  Call  system  should  be  registered.  Contact  any  aut horized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.

■ Running out of fuel 
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started, 
refuel  the  vehicle  with  at  leas t  enough  gasoline  to  make  the  low  fuel  level 
warning  light  ( P.  685)  go  off.  If  there  is  only  a  small  amount  of  fuel,  the 
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of  fuel is about 
7.5 L [2.0 gal., 1.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level  surface. This value 
may  vary  when  the  vehicle  is  on  a  slope. Add  extra  fuel  when  th e  vehicle  is 
inclined.) 
■ Electromagnetic waves 
● High  voltage parts  and cables on Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorporate  elec- 
tromagnetic  shielding,  and  therefore  emit  approximately  the  sam e  amount 
of  electromagnetic  waves  as  conventional  gasoline  powered  vehic les  or 
home electronic appliances. 
● Your  vehicle  may  cause  sound  interference  in  some  third  party-produced 
radio parts.
