HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
WARNING
■For your safety
● Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emergency Call
in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergen-
cies, 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 system is operating normally, the system
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 Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may caus e mishandling of the steering wheel,
which may lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before mak-
ing 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.
■ If the “SOS” button panel, speaker or microphone malfunctions during
an Emergency Call or manual maintenance check
It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls, confirm the system status,
or communicate with the eCall control center operator. If any of the above
equipment is damaged, please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
