The protection of our customers’ information and privacy is paramount to Toyota. A Safety Connect® vehicle can be located with GPS if there is an airbag deployment (the vehicle is not continuously tracked in these instances, only located to direct emergency responders). To activate stolen vehicle tracking through Safety Connect®, the Safety Connect® response center must have a police report on file to ensure there is an actual theft involved. The Stolen Vehicle Location feature is designed to locate a vehicle, not an individual.
Safety Connect® can assist in situations needing fire, police, or paramedics, such as medical injuries, medical emergencies, accidents where Automatic Call Notification (ACN) is not triggered or seeing other people in emergency situations.
Yes. The response center agent will reach out to a personal emergency contact upon request if you are in an emergency (if you push the SOS button or if there is an Automatic Collision Notification call) and if an emergency contact is on file.
The Safety Connect® system will display a green light by the SOS button, which indicates the service is active. If a red light is illuminated, there may be a problem with the vehicle hardware, and it should be brought to an authorized Toyota dealer.
No. The navigation system and Safety Connect® product are separate hardware systems. If you are experiencing problems with your navigation system, the Toyota services that utilize the navigation, such as Destination Assist, may not work, but Safety Connect® services will not be affected. If you are experiencing issues with your navigation system, your local Toyota dealer can help diagnose the problem.
Safety Connect® works on one of the nation's largest cellular providers, who also has roaming agreements with other carriers. In addition, Safety Connect®'s external antenna and retry (redial) process may connect when your cell phone is unable to do so. If there is no coverage from either the primary or secondary cellular source, Safety Connect® will not work.
First, you'll need to file a stolen vehicle report with the police, who will provide you with a police case number. Then, reach out to the Toyota Hawaii Connected Services Care Line by calling 1-888-845-1583. With your active Safety Connect® subscription and the police case number, Toyota Safety Connect® will initiate tracking of your vehicle and report the location to the police.
Stolen Vehicle Locator will track a vehicle for one week. After that week, you can request another tracking session.
Stolen Vehicle Locator will not work if the battery runs out or is disconnected.
It may be the police, response center, or the public safety answering point that will call you back at the number given to them if the vehicle is recovered.
Safety Connect® offers Enhanced Roadside Assistance, which provides your vehicle's GPS coordinates directly to your Safety Connect® response center agent and to Roadside Assistance. It also includes 24/7 Roadside Support for three years.
Enhanced roadside assistance, available with Safety Connect®, automatically provides your vehicle location to the agent when using the SOS button so they can pinpoint your exact location via GPS without you needing to look for road signs.
The Safety Connect® operator will answer the call. If there is no verbal response from the vehicle's occupants, the operator will dispatch emergency personnel to the vehicle location. In the event the button is accidentally pressed, and the vehicle's occupants are safe and able to respond, they can push the button again to cancel or have the operator end the call, and no emergency personnel will be dispatched.
The green light indicates that Safety Connect® is turned on. The Safety Connect® system’s green light should be illuminated on all newly purchased vehicles before you leave the dealership. When you are connected with a response center agent, the green light will flash on and off. Press and hold the SOS button to cancel the call or stay on the line and wait for the operator to respond.
No. When the ignition is turned on, the red indicator light will flash for 2 seconds, and the green light will then turn on if the service is active.
You can review your vehicles features and capabilities within the Toyota app. For more information please visit our Audio & Connected Services Support page or reference your Owner’s Manual.
