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. Then, the green indicator light will illuminate for 2 seconds
and remain illuminated if the system is functioning properly. The indi-
cator 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 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. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
● 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.

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 eCall control center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-
nect to the eCall control center, you may not be able to connect to the
eCall 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 eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may
not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish
without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approximately 30
seconds to indicate this disconnection.
● If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
● The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area, depend-
ing on the available infrastructure in the country.
■ 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.

Operation of each component
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
■ If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using a master key (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or the other key of the same type (vehicles
with smart entry & start system), and the key number stamped on your key
number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the

When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
