The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense
● Cruise control system
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail-
able on request at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.

HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module
(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of
the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
● Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS/EVAK: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system
is designed to send an emergency call* to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-
trol center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push
the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to
ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an
emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services.
( P. 528)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 531)
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
● Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.

HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

The system name differs depending on the country.
The Emergency Call system is a device installed on a vehicle to
determine its location and movement direction (using GLONASS
[Global Navigation Satellite System] and GPS [Global Position-
ing System] signals), and ensure the generation and transmis-
sion of vehicle information (in a nonadjustable form) in case of
traffic accidents or other incidents on motor roads in the Rus-
sian Federation/Kazakhstan. In addition, it ensures two-way
voice communication between the vehicle and an ERA-
GLONASS/EVAK system operator through cellular networks
(GSM).
Automatic Emergency Calls (via Automatic Collision Notifica-
tion) and manual Emergency Calls (by pressing the “SOS” but-
ton) can be made to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.
This service is mandatory according to the technical regulations
of the Customs Union.

■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator
receives the vehicle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehi-
cle VIN, and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to
assess the situation. If the occupants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency services provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request that assistance be sent to the
location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 531)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency, press the “SOS” button to call the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator will
determine your vehicle’s location, assess the situation, and dis-
patch the necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator that you are
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 531)

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10
seconds and then the green indicator light will illuminate, indicating
that the system is enabled. The indicator lights indicate the following:
●If the green indicator light illuminates 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 no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
●If the red indicator light illuminates at any time other than immedi-
ately after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunc-
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted.
●If the red indicator light blinks for approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery does not exceed 3 years.
A test mode is provided for to check the performance of the Emer-
gency Call system. To test the device, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the following sit-
uations. In such cases, report to emergency services provider (112 system
etc.) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular phone service area, it may be
difficult to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center if the
reception is poor or the line is busy. In such cases, even though the sys-
tem attempts to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center,
you may not be able to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center to make Emergency Calls and contact emergency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, the Emer-
gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting
the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emergency
Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts to
connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center. However, if it can-
not connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center due to poor
radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the cel-
lular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indica-
tor light will blink for approximately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.
●If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system
may not be able to connect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.
■When the Emergency Call system is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
