For your infor mation
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations fo r equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the t ime of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product impr ovement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrat ions may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you ma y hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunctio n.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for T oyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know tha t Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their per formance,
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota pro ducts. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its perf ormance, safety
or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safe ty equipment
such as Toyota Safety Sense P and there is a danger that it wil l not work
properly or the danger that it may work in situations where it should not be
working.

801-2. Emergency assistance
SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C035U■
Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced Roadside As
sistance adds GPS data to the already
included warranty-based Toyota roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connec t
response-center agent, who can he lp with a wide range of needs,
such as: towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a description of the
Enhanced Roadside Assistance se rvices and their limitations,
please see the Safety Connect Te rms and Conditions, which are
available at Toyota.com in the United States, Toyotapr.com in
Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
Important! Read this informatio n before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from unive rsities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.
