Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child’s
neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and

For safety and security
*: This button is intended for communi-
cation with the eCall system operator.
Other SOS buttons available in other
systems of a motor vehicle do not
relate to the device and are not
intended for communication with the
eCall system operator.
■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator receives the vehicle’s
location, the time of the incident
and the vehicle VIN, and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants
to assess the situation. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency ser-
vices provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request
that assistance be sent to the loca-
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situa-
tion, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds. Then, the
green indicator light will illuminate
for 2 seconds and remain illumi-
nated if the system is functioning
properly.
The indicator lights indicate the fol-
lowing:
 If the green indicator light illumi-
nates 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 illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the power
switch is turned to ON, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning or

WARNING
●If the airbags deploy when the sys- tem is operating normally, the sys-
tem makes emergency call. The system also makes emergency call when the vehicle is struck from the
rear or rolls over, even if the air- bags do not deploy.
●For safety, do not make the Emer-gency Call while driving.Making calls during driving may
cause mishandling of the steering wheel, which may lead to unex-pected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before making the Emergency Call.
●When changing fuses, please use the specified fuses. Using other
fuses may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit and lead to a fire.
●Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a fire. Stop using the system
immediately and consult any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
