WARNING

■

For safe driving

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the position of the

driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver

to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between

the driver or passenger and the

seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct

posture from being achieved,

and reduce the effectiveness of

the seat belt and head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the

front seats.

Objects placed under the front

seats may become jammed in

the seat tracks and stop the

seat from locking in place. This

may lead to an accident and the

adjustment mechanism may

also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public

roads.

●

When driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take

a break immediately.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occu-

pants are wearing their seat

belts before driving the

vehicle.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of injury in the

event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death

or serious injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear

a seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt prop-

erly.

●

Each seat belt should be used

by one person only. Do not use

a seat belt for more than one

person at once, including chil-

dren.

●

Toyota recommends that chil-

dren be seated in the rear seat

and always use a seat belt

and/or an appropriate child

restraint system.

●

To achieve a proper seating

position, do not recline the seat

more than necessary. The seat

belt is most effective when the

occupants are sitting up straight

and well back in the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt

under your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low

and snug across your hips.

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(

P.26)

Women who are pregnant should

position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips in the same

manner as other occupants,

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and

avoiding belt contact with the

rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, not only the pregnant

woman, but also the fetus could

suffer death or serious injury as a

result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.

■

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

■

Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were

principally designed for persons of

adult size.

●

Use a child restraint system

appropriate for the child, until the

child becomes large enough to

properly wear the vehicle’s seat

belt. (



●

When the child becomes large

enough to properly wear the vehi-

cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-

tions regarding seat belt usage.

(

■

Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long

enough, a personalized seat belt

extender is available from your Toy-

ota dealer free of charge.

WARNING

●

Inspect the seat belt system

periodically. Check for cuts,

fraying, and loose parts. Do not

use a damaged seat belt until it

is replaced. Damaged seat belts

cannot protect an occupant

from death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate

are locked and the belt is not

twisted.

If the seat belt does not function

correctly, immediately contact

your Toyota dealer.

●

Replace the seat assembly,

including the belts, if your vehi-

cle has been involved in a seri-

ous accident, even if there is no

obvious damage.

press the release button .

■

Emergency locking retractor

(ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during

a sudden stop or on impact. It may

also lock if you lean forward too

quickly. A slow, easy motion will

allow the belt to extend so that you

can move around fully.

■

Automatic locking retractor

(ALR)

When a passenger’s shoulder belt is

completely extended and then

retracted even slightly, the belt is

locked in that position and cannot

be extended. This feature is used to

hold the child restraint system

(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,

fully retract the belt and then pull the

belt out once more. (

Push the seat belt shoulder

anchor down while pressing
the release button .

Push the seat belt shoulder

anchor up while pressing the
release button .

Move the height adjuster up and

down as needed until you hear a

click.

WARNING

●

Do not use the seat belt

extender when installing a child

restraint system because the

belt will not securely hold the

child restraint system, increas-

ing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an acci-

dent.

●

The personalized extender may

not be safe on another vehicle,

when used by another person,

or at a different seating position

other than the one originally

intended.

NOTICE

The pretensioners help the seat

belts to quickly restrain the

occupants by retracting the seat

belts when the vehicle is sub-

jected to certain types of severe

frontal or side collision or a vehi-

cle rollover.

The pretensioners do not activate

in the event of a minor frontal

impact, a minor side impact or a

rear impact.

■

Replacing the belt after the pre-

tensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple

collisions, the pretensioner will acti-

vate for the first collision, but will not

activate for the second or subse-

quent collisions.

WARNING

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder

belt is positioned across the cen-

ter of your shoulder. The belt

should be kept away from your

neck, but not falling off your shoul-

der. Failure to do so could reduce

the amount of protection in an

accident and cause death or seri-

ous injuries in the event of a sud-

den stop, sudden swerve or

accident.

Seat belt pretensioners

(front seats)

WARNING

■

Seat belt pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will

disperse the passenger’s

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a

result, the seat belt pretensioner

for the front passenger’s seat

may not activate in the event of

a collision.

●

If the pretensioner has acti-

vated, the SRS warning light will

come on. In that case, the seat

belt cannot be used again and

must be replaced at your Toyota

dealer.

Airbag sensor assembly

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.

■

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.

●

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.

●

The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. (

P.401)

●

The emergency flashers will be
turned on automatically. (

P.464)

●

For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response 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 assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call

as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. (

• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-

vated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe

rear-end collision.

■

SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (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 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).

However, this threshold velocity will
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing 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 colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under,
the bed of a truck

●

Depending on the type of collision,
it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.

●

The SRS front airbags for the front
passenger will not activate if there

is no passenger sitting 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 unoccupied.

●

The SRS seat cushion airbag on
the front passenger seat will not
operate if the occupant is not
wearing a seat belt.

■

SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS side and curtain
shield airbags)

●

The SRS side and curtain shield
airbags will deploy in the event of
an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force
corresponding to the impact force
produced by an approximately
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding
with the vehicle cabin from a
direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approxi-
mate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 -
30 km/h]).

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags
may deploy in the event of a
severe side collision.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of vehicle
rollover.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags
may also deploy in the event of a
severe frontal collision.

■

Conditions under which the
SRS airbags may deploy
(inflate), other than a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS
side and curtain shield airbags may
also deploy if a serious impact
occurs to the underside of your vehi-
cle. Some examples are shown in
the illustration.

●

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement
or hard surface

●

Falling into or jumping over a deep
hole

●

Landing hard or falling

The SRS curtain shield airbags may
also deploy under the situations
shown in the illustration.

●

The angle of vehicle tip-up is mar-
ginal.

●

The vehicle skids and hits a curb
stone.

■

Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS
front airbags)

The SRS front airbags do not gener-
ally inflate if the vehicle is involved
in a side or rear collision, if it rolls
over, or if it is involved in a
low-speed frontal collision. But,
whenever a collision of any type
causes sufficient forward decelera-
tion of the vehicle, deployment of
the SRS front airbags may occur.

●

Collision from the side

●

Collision from the rear

●

Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)

The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags may not activate if the vehicle
is subjected to a collision from the
side at certain angles, or a collision
to the side of the vehicle body other
than the passenger compartment.

●

Collision from the side to the vehi-
cle body other than the passenger
compartment

●

Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS curtain shield airbags do
not generally inflate if the vehicle is
involved in a rear collision, if it
pitches end over end, or if it is
involved in a low-speed side or
low-speed frontal collision.

●

Collision from the rear

●

Pitching end over end

When to contact your Toyota
dealer

In the following cases, the vehicle
will require inspection and/or repair.
Contact your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.

●

Any of the SRS airbags have
been inflated.

●

The front of the vehicle is dam-
aged or deformed, or was
involved in an accident that was

not severe enough to cause the
SRS front airbags to inflate.

●

A portion of a door or its surround-
ing area is damaged, deformed or
has had a hole made in it, or the
vehicle was involved in an acci-
dent that was not severe enough
to cause the SRS side and curtain
shield airbags to inflate.

●

The pad section of the steering
wheel, dashboard near the front
passenger airbag or lower portion
of the instrument panel is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.

●

The seat cushion surface is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.

WARNING

■

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions

regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death

or serious injury.

●

The driver and all passengers in

the vehicle must wear their seat

belts properly.

The SRS airbags are supple-

mental devices to be used with

the seat belts.

●

The SRS driver airbag deploys

with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious

injury especially if the driver is

very close to the airbag. The

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)

advises:

Since the risk zone for the driver’s

airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75

mm) of inflation, placing yourself

10 in. (250 mm) from your driver

airbag provides you with a clear

margin of safety. This distance is

measured from the center of the

steering wheel to your breast-

bone. If you sit less than 10 in.

(250 mm) away now, you can

change your driving position in

several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as

far as you can while still reach-

ing the pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the

seat.

Although vehicle designs vary,

many drivers can achieve the

10 in. (250 mm) distance, even

with the driver seat all the way

forward, simply by reclining the

back of the seat somewhat. If

reclining the back of your seat

makes it hard to see the road,

raise yourself by using a firm,

non-slippery cushion, or raise

the seat if your vehicle has that

feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjust-

able, tilt it downward. This

points the airbag toward your

chest instead of your head and

neck.

The seat should be adjusted as

recommended by NHTSA above,

while still maintaining control of

the foot pedals, steering wheel,

and your view of the instrument

panel controls.

WARNING

●

If the seat belt extender has

been connected to the front

seat belt buckles but the seat

belt extender has not also been

fastened to the latch plate of the

seat belt, the SRS front airbags

will judge that the driver and

front passenger are wearing the

seat belt even though the seat

belt has not been connected. In

this case, the SRS front airbags

may not activate correctly in a

collision, resulting in death or

serious injury in the event of a

collision. Be sure to wear the

seat belt with the seat belt

extender.

●

The SRS front passenger air-

bag also deploys with consider-

able force, and can cause death

or serious injury especially if the

front passenger is very close to

the airbag. The front passenger

seat should be as far from the

airbag as possible with the seat-

back adjusted, so the front pas-

senger sits upright.

●

Improperly seated and/or

restrained infants and children

can be killed or seriously injured

by a deploying airbag. An infant

or child who is too small to use

a seat belt should be properly

secured using a child restraint

system. Toyota strongly recom-

mends that all infants and chil-

dren be placed in the rear seats

of the vehicle and properly

restrained. The rear seats are

safer for infants and children

than the front passenger seat.

(



●

Do not sit on the edge of the

seat or lean against the dash-

board.

●

Do not allow a child to stand in

front of the SRS front passenger

airbag unit or sit on the knees of

a front passenger.

●

Do not allow the front seat occu-

pants to hold items on their

knees.

WARNING

●

Do not lean against the door,

the roof side rail or the front,

side and rear pillars.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on

the passenger seats toward the

door or put their head or hands

outside the vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or

lean anything against areas

such as the dashboard, steering

wheel pad and lower portion of

the instrument panel.

These items can become pro-

jectiles when the SRS driver,

front passenger and knee air-

bags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield, side

windows, front or rear pillar, roof

side rail and assist grip. (Except

for the speed limit label



P.485)

●

Do not hang coat hangers or

other hard objects on the coat

hooks. All of these items could

become projectiles and may

cause death or serious injury,

should the SRS curtain shield

airbags deploy.

●

If a vinyl cover is put on the area

where the SRS driver’s knee

airbag will deploy, be sure to

remove it.

●

Do not use seat accessories

which cover the parts where the

SRS side airbags and SRS seat

cushion airbag inflate as they

may interfere with inflation of

the SRS airbags. Such acces-

sories may prevent the side air-

bags and seat cushion airbag

from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side

airbags and seat cushion airbag

to inflate accidentally, resulting

in death or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant

levels of force to the area of the

SRS airbag components or the

front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS

airbags to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the compo-

nent parts immediately after the

SRS airbags have deployed

(inflated) as they may be hot.

WARNING

●

If breathing becomes difficult

after the SRS airbags have

deployed, open a door or win-

dow to allow fresh air in, or

leave the vehicle if it is safe to

do so. Wash off any residue as

soon as possible to prevent skin

irritation.

●

If the areas where the SRS air-

bags are stored, such as the

steering wheel pad and front

and rear pillar garnishes, are

damaged or cracked, have

them replaced by your Toyota

dealer.

●

Do not place anything, such as

a cushion, on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Doing so will

disperse the passenger’s

weight, which prevents the sen-

sor from detecting the passen-

ger’s weight properly. As a

result, the SRS front airbags for

the front passenger may not

deploy in the event of a colli-

sion.

Exhaust gas precau-

tions

Harmful substance to the

human body is included in

exhaust gases if inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful

carbon monoxide (CO), which is

colorless and odorless. Observe

the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause

exhaust gases enter the vehicle

and may lead to an accident

caused by light-headedness, or

may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the back door closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in

the vehicle even when the back

door is closed, open the win-

dows and have the vehicle

inspected at your Toyota dealer

as soon as possible.

■

When parking

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-

lated area or a closed area,

such as a garage, stop the

engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with

the engine on for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be

avoided, park the vehicle in an

open space and ensure that

exhaust fumes do not enter the

vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the engine running

in an area with snow build-up,

or where it is snowing. If snow-

banks build up around the vehi-

cle while the engine is running,

exhaust gases may collect and

enter the vehicle.

■

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be

checked periodically. If there is a

hole or crack caused by corro-

sion, damage to a joint or abnor-

mal exhaust noise, be sure to

have the vehicle inspected and

repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Riding with children

Observe the following pre-

cautions when children are

in the vehicle.

Use a child restraint system

appropriate for the child,

until the child becomes

large enough to properly

wear the vehicle’s seat belt.



It is recommended that chil-

dren sit in the rear seats to

avoid accidental contact

with the shift lever, wiper

switch, etc.



Use the rear door child-pro-

tector lock or the window

lock switch to avoid children

opening the door while driv-

ing or operating the power

window accidentally.

(



P.104, 127)



Do not let small children

operate equipment which

may catch or pinch body

parts, such as the power

window, hood, back door,

seats, etc.

WARNING

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle

Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle, and never allow

children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the

vehicle or shift the vehicle into

neutral. There is also a danger

that children may injure them-

selves by playing with the win-

dows or other features of the

vehicle. In addition, heat build-up

or extremely cold temperatures

inside the vehicle can be fatal to

children.

Points to remember

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

For effective protection in auto-

mobile accidents and sudden

stops, a child must be properly

restrained, using a seat belt or

child restraint system which is

correctly installed. For installa-

tion details, refer to the opera-

tion manual enclosed with the

child restraint system. General

installation instruction is pro-

vided in this manual.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1-2. Child safety

COROLLA H/B_U

WARNING

●

Toyota strongly urges the use of

a proper child restraint system

that conforms to the weight and

size of the child, installed on the

rear seat. According to accident

statistics, the child is safer when

properly restrained in the rear

seat than in the front seat.

●

Holding a child in your or some-

one else’s arms is not a substi-

tute for a child restraint system.

In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield

or between the holder and the

interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint

system

If the child restraint system is not

properly fixed in place, the child or

other passengers may be seri-

ously injured or even killed in the

event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving, or an accident.

●

If the vehicle were to receive a

strong impact from an accident,

etc., it is possible that the child

restraint system has damage

that is not readily visible. In

such cases, do not reuse the

restraint system.

●

Make sure you have complied

with all installation instructions

provided with the child restraint

system manufacturer and that

the system is properly secured.

●

Keep the child restraint system

properly secured on the seat

even if it is not in use. Do not

store the child restraint system

unsecured in the passenger

compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the

child restraint system, remove it

from the vehicle or store it

securely in the luggage com-

partment.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint

system

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint system on the front

passenger seat even if the “AIR

BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-

minated. In the event of an acci-

dent, the force of the rapid

inflation of the front passenger

airbag can cause death or seri-

ous injury to the child if the

rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem is installed on the front pas-

senger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint

system may be installed on the

front passenger seat only when

it is unavoidable. A child

restraint system that requires a

top tether strap should not be

used in the front passenger seat

since there is no top tether strap

anchor for the front passenger

seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint

system may be installed on the

front passenger seat only when

it is unavoidable. When install-

ing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front

passenger seat, adjust the seat-

back angle to the most upright

position, move the seat to the

rearmost position, and raise the

seat to the upper most position,

even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is illuminated.

1-2. Child safety

COROLLA H/B_U

For safety and secu

rity

A child restraint system for a

small child or baby must itself be

properly restrained on the seat

with the lap portion of the

lap/shoulder belt.

■

Installing child restraint

system using a seat belt

(child restraint lock func-

tion belt)

Install the child restraint system

in accordance to the operation

manual enclosed with the child

restraint system.

WARNING

●

Do not allow the child to lean

his/her head or any part of

his/her body against the door or

the area of the seat, front or rear

pillars, or roof side rails from

which the SRS side airbags or

SRS curtain shield airbags

deploy even if the child is

seated in the child restraint sys-

tem. It is dangerous if the SRS

side and curtain shield airbags

inflate, and the impact could

cause death or serious injury to

the child.

●

When a booster seat is

installed, always ensure that the

shoulder belt is positioned

across the center of the child’s

shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck,

but not so that it could fall off the

child’s shoulder.

●

Use child restraint system suit-

able to the age and size of the

child and install it to the rear

seat.

●

If the driver’s seat interferes

with the child restraint system

and prevents it from being

attached correctly, attach the

child restraint system to the

right-hand rear seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat

so that it does not interfere with

the child restraint system.

WARNING

■

When installing a child

restraint system

Observe the following precau-

tions.

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 the buckle

cannot be unfastened, scissors

should be used to cut the belt.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate

are securely locked and the

seat belt is not twisted.

●

Shake the child restraint system

left and right, and forward and

backward to ensure that it has

been securely installed.

●

After securing a child restraint

system, never adjust the seat.

●

When a booster seat is

installed, always ensure that the

shoulder belt is positioned

across the center of the child’s

shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck,

but not so that it could fall off the

child’s shoulder.

●

Follow all installation instruc-

tions provided by the child

restraint system manufacturer.

●

When securing some types of

child restraint systems in rear

seats, it may not be possible to

properly use the seat belts in

positions next to the child

restraint without interfering with

it or affecting seat belt effective-

ness. Be sure your seat belt fits

snugly across your shoulder

and low on your hips. If it does

not, or if it interferes with the

child restraint, move to a differ-

ent position. Failure to do so

may result in death or serious

injury.

●

When installing a child restraint

system in the rear center seat,

adjust both seat cushions to the

same position and align both

seatbacks at the same angle.

Otherwise, the child restraint

system cannot be securely

restrained and this may cause

death or serious injuries in the

event of sudden braking, sud-

den swerving or an accident.

■

When installing a booster

seat

To prevent the belt from going into

ALR lock mode, do not fully

extend the shoulder belt. ALR

mode causes the belt to tighten

only. This could cause injury or

discomfort to the child. (

P.27)

■

Do not use a seat belt

extender

If a seat belt extender is used

when installing a child restraint

system, the seat belt will not

securely hold the child restraint

system, which could cause death

or serious injury to the child or

other passengers in the event of

sudden braking, sudden swerv-

States only). Contact with the
Safety Connect response center
is dependent upon the telematics
device being in operative condi-
tion, cellular connection availabil-
ity, and GPS satellite signal
reception, which can limit the abil-
ity to reach the response center or
receive emergency service sup-
port. Enrollment and Telematics

tion terms are available; charges
vary by subscription term selected
and location.

When contacting the response
center

You may be unable to contact the
response center if the network is
busy.

When the engine switch is
turned to ON, the red indicator
light comes on for 2 seconds
then turns off. Afterward, the
green indicator light comes on,
indicating that the service is
active.
The following indicator light pat-
terns indicate specific system
usage conditions:



Green indicator light on =
Active service



Green indicator light flashing
= Safety Connect call in pro-
cess



Red indicator light (except at
vehicle start-up) = System
malfunction (contact your Toy-
ota dealer)



No indicator light (off) =
Safety Connect service not

active

■

Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation

In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to
automatically call the response
center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location
and attempts to speak with the
vehicle occupants to assess the
level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency,
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to
describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety
Connect can work with local
authorities to assist them in
locating and recovering the
vehicle. After filing a police
report, call the Customer Experi-
ence Center at 1-800-331-4331
in the Unites States,
1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico
or 1- 888-869-6828 in Canada,

Exposure to radio fre-
quency signals

The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a
low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. It 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 wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.



ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]



NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]



ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
