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.
■Enhanced Roadside Assis-
tance
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,

■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■When the TRAC/VSC/ABS sys-
tems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the hybrid sys-
tem to the wheels. Pressing to
turn the system off may make it eas-
ier for you to rock the vehicle in
order to free it.
To turn the TRAC system off, quickly
press and release .
The “Traction Control Turned OFF”

mance have been exceeded
(such as excessively worn tires
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while
driving at high speed on wet or
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the
ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to

tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the veh icle in front of
you, especially in the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads

Maintenance and care
WA R N I N G
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle, such as on the floor,
in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) air intake vent, and in
the trunk. ( P.422)
Doing so may cause the hybrid
battery, electrical components,
etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet.
(  P.31)
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or
not function properly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger
(  P.402) get wet. Failure to do
so may cause the charger to
become hot and cause burns or
could cause electric shock
resulting in dea th or serious
injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the dr iver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the f ollowing types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Areas other than the seats and steering wheel: Organic sub-
stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as th inner, benzene,
and alcohol
• Steering wheel: Organic sub- stances, such as thinner, and
cleaner that contains alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s
or other interior part’s painted
surface may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the v ehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
audio system abov e or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of
the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to con-
tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. ( P.183)

WA R N I N G
■Do not drive the vehicle with
a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat
tire.
Driving even a short distance with
a flat tire can damage the tire and
the wheel beyond repair.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a
circumferential groove on the side
wall. In such a case, the tire may
explode when using a repair kit.
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and
flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the
area around the brakes immedi-
ately after the vehicle has been
driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven, the wheels and the area
around the brakes may be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands , feet or other
body parts may result in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with th e tire installed
on the vehicle. If the hose is not
properly connected to the valve,
air leakage may occur as seal-
ant may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve
while inflating the tire, there is a
risk that the hose will move
abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has
completed, the sealant may
splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dures not followed, the sealant
may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it
is being repaired, as there is a
chance of it bursting while the
repair operation is being per-
formed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and
stop the repair operation imme-
diately.
●The repair kit may overheat if
operated for a long period of
time. Do not operate the repair
kit continuously for more than
40 minutes.
●Parts of the re pair kit become
hot during operation. Be careful
handling the repair kit during
and after operation. Do not
touch the metal part connecting
the bottle and the compressor. It
will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other
than the one indicated. If the
sticker is attached to an area
where an SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering
wheel, it may prevent the SRS
airbag from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid
sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a
low speed. Be especially careful
when turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive
straight or you feel a pull
through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the fol-
lowing.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
