For safety and security
*: This button is intended for communi-
cation with the eCall system operator.
Other SOS buttons available in other
systems of a motor vehicle do not
relate to the device and are not
intended for communication with the
eCall system operator.
■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator receives the vehicle’s
location, the time of the incident
and the vehicle VIN, and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants
to assess the situation. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency ser-
vices provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request
that assistance be sent to the loca-
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situa-
tion, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds. Then, the
green indicator light will illuminate
for 2 seconds and remain illumi-
nated if the system is functioning
properly.
The indicator lights indicate the fol-
lowing:
 If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system
is enabled.
 If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic
or manual Emergency Call is
being made.
 If the red indicator light illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the power
switch is turned to ON, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning or

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carry-ing an electronic key in your bag etc.,
ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a but-ton may cause the electronic key to emit
radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin and a message will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display when the hybrid system
stops.
●To reduce key battery depletion when
the electronic key is to not be used for long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode.
( P.254)
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the battery will become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary.
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper-ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself
( P.511). However, as there is a dan-
ger that the electronic key may be dam-
aged, it is recommended that
replacement is carried out by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the following electrical appli- ances that produce a magnetic field:•TVs
• Personal computers • Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
•Table lamps • Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle for longer than necessary, even if the smart entry & start system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become depleted faster than normal.
■If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or power switch
mode, etc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle, leaving the vehicle
carrying the electronic key on your per- son without turning the power switch to
