●Exposure to radio frequency sig-
nals:
The Toyota audio multimedia sys-
tem installed in your vehicle 
includes a low power radio trans-
mitter and recei ver. The system 
receives and also sends out radio 
frequency (RF) signals.
●In August 1996, the Federal Com-
munications 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 both U.S. 
and international standards bod-
ies.
• ANSI (American National Stan- dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
• NCRP (National Council on Radi-
ation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
• ICNIRP (Intern ational Commis-
sion on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection) [1996]
●These standards are based on 
comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific lit- erature. Over 120 scientists, 
engineers, and physicians from 
universities, government health 
agencies, and industry reviewed 
the available body of research to 
develop the ANSI Standard 
(C95.1).
●The design of Toyota audio multi-
media system co
mplies with the 
FCC guidelines in addition to 
those standards.
●Contact with the Toyota response 
center is dependent upon the 
telematics device being in opera-
tive condition, cellular connection 
availability, navigation map data, 
and GPS satellite signal recep-
tion, which can lim it the ability to 
reach the Toyota response center 
or receive support. Enrollment and 
Telematics Subscription Service 
Agreement required. A variety of 
subscription terms are available; 
charges vary by subscription term 
selected.
●The Toyota response center 
offers support in multiple lan-
guages.
●Select Safety Connect-sub-
scribed vehicles are capable of 
communicating vehicle informa-
tion. Please see the terms and 
conditions for additional details.
Owners who do not wish to have 
their vehicle transmit this informa-
tion can opt out at the time of 
enrollment or b y calling 1-800-
