■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) 
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, 
due to the extremely high speed depl oyment (inflation) by hot gases. 
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. 
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as 
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, a nd roof side rails, 
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be h ot. 
● The windshield may crack. 
● The  hybrid  system  will  be  stopped  and  fuel  supply  to  the  engine  will  be 
stopped. ( P. 124) 
● For  eCall  subscribers,  if  any  of  the following situations occur,  the system is 
designed to  send  an emergency  call to  the  response  center,  noti fying  them 
of the vehicle’s  location (without  needing to push the “SOS” bu tton)  and  an 
agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the  level of emer- 
gency  and  assistance  required.  If  the  occupants  are  unable  to  c ommuni- 
cate,  the  agent  automatically  treats  the  call  as  an  emergency  a nd  helps  to 
dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P. 97) 
• An SRS airbag is deployed. 
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision. 
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) 
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the 
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an app roximately 20 - 
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that  does not move or 
deform). 
However, this threshold veloci ty will be considerably higher in the following 
situations: 
• If  the  vehicle  strikes  an  object,  such  as  a  parked  vehicle  or  sign  pole, 
which can move or deform on impact
• If  the  vehicle  is  involved  in  an  underride  collision,  such  as  a  collision  in 
which  the  front  of  the  vehicle  “underrides”,  or  goes  under,  the   bed  of  a 
truck 
● Depending  on  the  type  of  collision,  it  is  possible  that  only  the  seat  belt 
pretensioners will activate.

eCall is a telematics service that uses Global Navigation Satel lite 
System  (GNSS)  data  and  embedded  cellular  technology  to 
enable  the  following  emergency  calls  to  be  made:  Automatic 
emergency  calls  (Automatic  Collision  Notification)  and  manual
emergency calls (by pressing the “SOS” button). This service is 
required by European Union Regulations.

■Automatic 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,  a nd 
attempts  to  speak  with  the  vehicle  occupants  to  assess  the  situ a- 
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 descr ibe 
the situation and request that assistance be sent to the locati on.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 100) 
■Manual Emergency Calls 
In the event of an emergency, 
press  the  “SOS”  button  to  call 
the  eCall  control  center.*  The 
answering  operator  will  deter- 
mine  your  vehicle’s  location, 
assess  the  situation,  and  dis- 
patch  the  necessary  assis- 
tance required.  
Make  sure  to  open  the  cover 
before  pressing  the  “SOS”  but- 
ton.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator t hat you are 
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P.   1 0 0 )

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.
