661-3. Emergency assistance
WA R N I N G
• 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 battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system  
may not be able to connect to the 
eCall 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 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  
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage 
Do not pour any liquids onto the  
“SOS” button panel, etc. and do not  impact it.

■Caution while driving 
If engine failure occurs while the vehi- 
cle is moving, do not lock or open the  doors until the vehicle reaches a safe  
and complete stop. Activation of the 
steering lock in this circumstance may  lead to an accident, resulting in death  
or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When starting the engine
●Do not race a cold engine.
●If the engine becomes difficult to 
start or stalls frequently, have your  vehicle checked by any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer  immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-tion with the engine switch 
If the engine switch seems to be oper- 
ating somewhat differently than usual, 
such as the switch sticking slightly,  there may be a malfunction. Contact  
any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer immediately.
Stopping the engine
WA R N I N G
■Stopping the engine in an emer-gency
●If you want to stop the engine in an  
emergency while driving the vehi- cle, press and hold the engine  
switch for more than 2 seconds, or 
press it briefly 3 times or more in  succession. ( P.462) 
However, do not touch the engine 
switch while driving except in an  emergency. Turning the engine off  
while driving will not cause loss of 
steering or braking control, but the  power assist to these systems will  
be lost. This will make it more diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you  should pull over and stop the vehi- 
cle as soon as it is safe to do so.
