●Exposure to radio frequency sig-
nals:
The Toyota audio multimedia sys-
tem installed in your vehicle
includes a low power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. 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 languages.
●Select Safety Connect-sub-
scribed vehicles are capable of

tion. Please see the terms and
conditions for additional details.

their vehicle transmit this informa-
tion can opt out at the time of
