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.
NOTICE

Do not pour any liquids onto the “SOS” button panel, etc. and do not impact it.
■If the “SOS” button panel, speaker or microphone malfunc-
tions during an Emergency Call or manual maintenance check
It may not be possible to make Emer-
gency Calls, confirm the system sta- tus, or communicate with the eCall control center operator. If any of the
above equipment is damaged, please consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
