Safety Connect Services Information

●

Phone  calls  using  the  vehicles  Bluetooth

®

  technology  will  not  be  possible

when Safety Connect is active and in use.

●

Safety Connect is available beginning Fall 2009 on select Toyota models (in
the  contiguous  United  States  only).  Contact  with  the  Safety  Connect
response center is dependent upon the telematics device being in operative
condition, cellular connection availability, and GPS satellite signal reception,
which  can  limit  the  ability  to  reach  the  response  center  or  receive  emer-
gency  service  support.  Enrollment  and  Telematics  Subscription  Service
Agreement  required. A  variety  of  subscription  terms  is  available;  charges
vary by subscription term selected and location.

●

Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle
Location  are  available  in  the  United  States,  including  Hawaii  and Alaska,
Puerto Rico and Canada, and Enhanced Roadside Assistance are available
in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.

●

Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle and
Enhanced Road Assistance are not available in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
For vehicles first sold in the U.S. Virgin Islands, no Safety Connect services
will function in or outside the U.S. Virgin Islands.

●

Safety Connect services are not subject to section 255 of the Telecommuni-
cations Act and the device is not TTY compatible.

■

Languages

The Safety Connect response center will offer support in multiple languages.
The Safety Connect system will offer voice prompts in English, Spanish, and
French. Please indicate your language of choice when enrolling.

■

When contacting the response center

You may be unable to contact the response center if the network is busy.

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out a smart key system) or the engine switch is turned to IGNITION
ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the red indicator light
comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator
light comes on, indicating that the service is active.
The  following  indicator  light  patterns  indicate  specific  system  usage
conditions:

●

Green indicator light on = Active service

●

Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process

●

Red indicator light (except at vehicle start-up) = System malfunction
(contact your Toyota dealer)

●

No indicator light (off) = Safety Connect service not active

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, 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  occupants  are  unable  to  communicate,  the  agent  automati-
cally  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 author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Customer Experience 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-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under
certain  circumstances,  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 Button (“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to
reach  the  Safety  Connect  response  center.  The  answering  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.

Enhanced Roadside Assistance

Enhanced  Roadside  Assistance  adds  GPS  data  to  the  already
included warranty-based Toyota roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connect
response-center agent, who can help with a wide range of needs,
such as: towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a description of the
Enhanced  Roadside  Assistance  services  and  their  limitations,
please  see  the  Safety  Connect  Terms  and  Conditions,  which  are
available  at  Toyota.com  in  the  United  States,  Toyotapr.com  in
Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.

Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.

■

Exposure to radio frequency 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 wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards  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 Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]

●

ICNIRP  (International  Commission  on  Non-Ionizing  Radiation
Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers,  and  physicians  from  universities,  and  government  health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

Vehicles without a smart key system

The  indicator  light  flashes  after
the  key  has  been  removed  from
the  engine  switch  to  indicate  that
the system is operating.
The  indicator  light  stops  flashing
after the registered key has been
inserted into the engine switch to
indicate that the system has been
canceled.



Vehicles with a smart key system 

The indicator light flashes after the engine switch has been turned off
to indicate that the system is operating.
The  indicator  light  stops  flashing  after  the  engine  switch  has  been
turned  to ACCESSORY  or  IGNITION  ON  mode  to  indicate  that  the
system has been canceled.

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a maintenance-free type engine immobilizer system.

■

Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction

●

If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object

●

If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system
(key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle

Engine immobilizer system

The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent
the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis-
tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer. 
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi-
cle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does not come on 

Should a  safety  system light  such as  the ABS and  SRS  warning  light  not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.
