661-3. Emergency assistance
The following indicator light pat-
terns indicate specific system 
usage conditions:
Green indicator light on = 
Active service
 Green indicator light flashing 
= Safety Connect call in pro-
cess
 Red indicator light (except at 
vehicle start-up) = System 
malfunction (contact your Toy-
ota dealer)
 No indicator light (off) = 
Safety Connect service not 
active
■Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation
In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to 
automatically call the response 
center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location 
and attempts to speak with the 
vehicle occupants to assess the 
level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, 
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to 
describe 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 
authorities to assist them in 
locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police 
report, call the Customer Experi-
ence Center at 1-800-331-4331 
in the United States, 
1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico 
or 1- 888-869-6828 in Canada, 
and follow the prompts for 
Safety Connect to initiate this 
service. 
In addition to assisting law 
enforcement with recovery of a 
stolen vehicle, Safety-Con-
nect-equipped vehicle location 
data may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third 
parties to locate your vehicle. 
Further information is available 
at Toyota.com in the United 
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto 
Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
■Emergency Assistance But-
ton (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency on 
the road, push the “SOS” button 
to reach the Safety Connect 
response center. The answer-
ing agent will determine your 
vehicle’s location, assess the 
emergency, and dispatch the 
necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” 
button, tell the  response-center 
agent that you are not experiencing 
an emergency.

■Exposure to radio fre-
quency signals
The Safety Connect system 
installed in your vehicle is a 
low-power radio transmitter and 
receiver. It receives and also 
sends out radio frequency (RF) 
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal 
Communications Commission 
(FCC) adopted RF exposure 
guidelines with safety levels for  mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with 
the safety standards previously 
set by the following U.S. and 
international standards bodies.
ANSI (American National 
Standards Institute) C95.1 
[1992]
 NCRP (National Council on 
Radiation Protection and 
Measurement) Report 86 
[1986]
 ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on 
comprehensive and periodic 
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians 
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and 
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to 
develop the ANSI Standard 
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect 
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

Vehicle status information and indicators
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature may not 
be displayed, or the display may 
take longer than normal to 
change:
• When stopped, or driving at low 
speeds (less than 12 mph [20 
km/h])
• When the outside temperature 
has changed suddenly (at the 
entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel, 
etc.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the 
system may be malfunctioning. 
Take your vehicle to your Toyota 
dealer.

until the desired item is dis-
played.
■Display items
 Odometer
Displays the total  distance the vehi-
cle has been driven.
 Trip meter A/Trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle 
has been driven since the meter 
was last reset. Trip meters A and B 
can be used to record and display 
WARNING
■The information display at 
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to 
warm up before u sing the liquid 
crystal informat ion display. At 
extremely low temperatures, the 
information display monitor may 
respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag 
between the driver’s shifting and 
the new gear number appearing 
on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift 
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle 
of the tachometer enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating 
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone 
(H). In this case, immediately 
stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it 
has cooled completely.

WARNING
■Cautions during setting up 
the display
If the engine is running when 
changing the display settings, 
ensure that the vehicle is parked 
in a place with  adequate ventila-
tion. In a closed area such as a 
garage, exhaust gases including 
harmful carbon monoxide (CO) 
may collect and enter the vehicle. 
This may lead to death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, 
ensure that the engine is running 
while setting up the display fea-
tures.

1063-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Vehicles with a smart key system
Use the mechanical key to lock and 
unlock the doors. ( P.418)
Replace the key battery with a new 
one if it is depleted. ( P.368)
■If the battery is discharged 
(vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem)
The doors cannot be locked and 
unlocked using the smart key sys-
tem or wireless remote control. Lock 
or unlock the doors using the 
mechanical key. ( P.418)
■Rear seat reminder function
In order to remind you not to forget 
luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when 
the engine switch is turned off after 
any of the following conditions are 
met, a buzzer will  sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the 
multi-information di splay for approx-
imately 6 seconds.
●The engine is started within 
approximately 10 minutes after 
opening and closing a rear door.
●A rear door has been opened and 
closed after the engine was 
started.
However, if a rear door is opened 
and then closed  within approxi-
mately 2 seconds , the rear seat 
reminder function may not operate.
The rear seat rem inder function 
determines that luggage, etc. has 
been placed in a rear seat based on 
opening and closing of a rear door. 
Therefore, depending on the situa-
tion, the rear seat  reminder function 
may not operate and you may still 
forget luggage, etc. in the rear seat, 
or it may operate unnecessarily.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. 
(  P.449)
WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions 
while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a 
door opening and an occupant 
being thrown out o f the vehicle, 
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are prop-
erly closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside door han-
dle while driving.
Be especially careful of the front 
doors, as the doors may be 
opened even if the inside lock 
buttons are in the locked posi-
tion.
●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated 
in the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a 
door
Check the surroundings of the 
vehicle such as wh ether the vehi-
cle is on an incline, whether there 
is enough space for a door to 
open and whether a strong wind 
is blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle 
tightly to prepare for any unpre-
dictable movement.
■When using the wireless 
remote control or the key and 
operating the power win-
dows or moon roof (if 
equipped)
Operate the power windows or 
moon roof after checking to make 
sure that there is  no possibility of 
any passenger having any of their 
body parts caught in the windows 
or moon roof. Also, do not allow 
children to operate the wireless 
remote control or the key. It is 
possible for children and other 
passengers to get caught in the 
power windows or moon roof.
