FAQs

The best place to find out more about your vehicle’s Connected Services, the FAQs page is packed with useful information. From set-up to upgrades, you’ll find all the answers here.

FAQS

  1. All

Connected Services are a suite of smart features that integrate your car with your digital life, making driving more convenient, safer, and more enjoyable—whether you're behind the wheel or away from your vehicle. These services are powered by two key components:

 

Mobile App (MyToyota / Lexus Link+)

The mobile app acts as your remote control and digital dashboard:

  • Remote Access: Start/stop the engine, lock/unlock doors, and control climate system, doors, and hazard lights remotely
  • Vehicle Locator: Find your parked vehicle with ease
  • Journey Planning: Plan routes and send them directly to your vehicle’s navigation system
  • Maintenance & Health: Receive alerts when servicing is due and view vehicle health reports
  • Driving Data: Access fuel levels, mileage, and trip history
  • Notifications: Stay informed with real-time updates about your vehicle

 

 Multimedia System

The in-car multimedia system connects your smartphone and enhances your driving experience:

  • Smartphone Integration: Use apps like Spotify, WhatsApp, Audible, Google Maps, and Waze directly from your vehicle's display
  • Voice Control: Operate apps and navigation via Siri or Google Assistant
  • Navigation & Alerts: Get real-time traffic updates, speed camera alerts, and search for points of interest
  • Note: Features vary by model and region

You can access Connected Services at any time through the MyToyota app, but there are a few important conditions that affect how and when services and data appears:

 

When Connected Services work best:

  • Data Availability: Car data is sent to the app when the engine is turned off. You’ll be able to view your last trip details shortly after switching off the engine
  • Mobile Data Required: A stable mobile network is needed to transmit data. If you park underground or in areas with poor coverage, data may not sync immediately

 

Common reasons services might not work as expected or data might be missing

  • Connected Services not activated

Ensure Standard Services are enabled in the Connected Services Centre

  • Multimedia system profile not linked
  • Privacy Mode enabled - If location sharing is disabled, trip data won’t be saved. Check and enable location sharing in the Privacy Mode section under MyGarage. For more help, refer to the Privacy Mode FAQs in the app

Plug-in Hybrid Insurance is designed to help you get the most from your plug-in hybrid vehicle. Our PHEV Connected insurance solution provides personalized coverage and expert support, while rewarding frequent charging and electric driving with premium discounts on your renewal. 

Learn more: https://dxp-global-en-prod.toyota.eu/buy-and-offers/insurance/plug-in-hybrid-insurance

Privacy mode is the condition when the car location is not shared (i.e. location data is unknown to Toyota or any third party). If enabled, Privacy mode will impact all Services relying on location data such as Full Hybrid Insurance, Usage Based Insurance, Find My Car and Driving analytics (or Hybrid, EV Coaching). When Privacy Mode is enabled, these Services may become limited, or their quality and accuracy may be affected.

Smart services allow Toyota Smart Connect Multimedia users to enhance their in-car experience using Cloud Navigation and Voice Agent. Upon subscription in the MyToyota app, users can access the below services:.  

 

Cloud navigation: cloud updated in-car multimedia map providing up-to-date traffic and Point Of Interest (POI) information. 

 

Voice Agent : start by saying "Hey Toyota" and set a destination, decide the media source you want to listen to and according to your vehicle grade, change the cabin temperature while keeping your eyes on the road.

Appointing a preferred dealer saves you time by automatically connecting you to your trusted dealer for service bookings and warning light support without needing to search for their contact details each time.

You can find the version number of the MyToyota app by opening the app and navigating to the "Account" section. Scroll to the bottom of that page—the version number will be displayed there.

You can check the connected services your vehicle is capable of by typing your VIN on Toyota Connectivity Match: https://dxp-global-en-prod.toyota.eu/customer/toyotaconnectivitymatch

The row of 5 icons from left to right stand for following sections:  Vehicle -  Map - Notifications - Account  -  Support

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can do with the MyToyota app:

Remote Vehicle Control

  • Start/Stop Engine: Power your car on or off remotely.
  • Lock/Unlock Doors: Secure or access your vehicle from anywhere.
  • Climate Control: Precondition your cabin temperature before you enter.
  • Hazard Lights Activation: Flash your hazard lights to help locate your car in crowded areas.

The MyToyota app is designed to make ownership easier, smarter, and more connected—whether you're driving a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric Toyota. You can explore more on our official website.

The MyToyota app and the Customer Portal (Personal Site) both connect you to your vehicle, but they serve slightly different purposes:
 

  • MyToyota app: Designed for on-the-go access, it lets you control and monitor your car remotely—start the engine, lock doors, check vehicle status, plan journeys, manage charging, and receive notifications—all from your smartphone.
  • Customer Portal / Personal Site: Accessible via a web browser, focuses on the overall brand experience and provides more in-depth tools such as downloading owner manuals, viewing detailed service history, enabling multimedia features (e.g., map updates, Wi-Fi packs), and generating reports. It also provides an overview of possible subscriptions, including the status and availability for eligible users. Some features—like online service booking and maintenance tracking—are available on both platforms and use the same login credentials for a seamless experience.

Go to the iOS App Store or Google Play Store and search for the MyToyota app. Then simply download the app, entirely free of charge.

Connected Services includes Standard Services and Remote Services. Standard Services include our wide range of digital features designed to ensure your safety, privacy and comfort while you are on the go. Stay informed about your car location, battery level, driving behaviour and history, warning lights and much more. Share your car location with friends and loved ones in your network. Remote Services allow you to remotely access your vehicle to adjust a variety of settings and tailor it to your needs. Access all the essentials needed to optimize your driving experience.

You decide what data you share with Toyota. You can control this at any moment in the Data Privacy Portal and can withdraw your consent when you want to. 

You can check the connected services your vehicle is capable of by typing your VIN on Toyota Connectivity Match: https://dxp-global-en-prod.toyota.eu/customer/toyotaconnectivitymatch

Yes, you can find all the ordered vehicles in the respective My Garage section in supported markets. 

 

 

In order to use Connected Services: register account, add your car to the app, select the services you want to activate and accept Terms of Use.

Depending on the model of your car, you can disable location sharing (i.e. enable Privacy mode) either in your App or in the vehicle’s multimedia system under Settings ->Info & Security. You can verify the current status of Privacy Mode through your account in your App. 

Yes, Connected Services can be linked to multiple MyToyota accounts, allowing different family members to access vehicle information and multimedia features. However, only one account can have active control at a time through the app—this means features like remote access, trip data, and notifications will only work through the account currently activated for the vehicle.

To share access:

  • Each family member can create their own MyToyota account.
  • The primary user must activate Connected Services on their account.

 

If you want to switch the active account, you can do so through the Connected Services Centre section in the app

Steps to take before selling your Toyota

  • Cancel Connected Services Subscription

 

Open the MyToyota app and cancel any active Connected Services linked to the vehicle.

  • Remove the vehicle from your MyToyota account
  • Remove your User Profile from the Multimedia System
  • On the vehicle’s in-vehicle multimedia unit, delete your personal profile to clear saved preferences and trip data.

 

Keep Your MyToyota Account

  • Do not delete your account—you can use it again if you purchase another Toyota in the future.
  • Inform the new owner

Let the buyer know that the vehicle is equipped with Connected Services and that they can activate their own account to enjoy the features

The account details are the same for the MyToyota app and Customer Portal. On both platforms the password can be changed. 

To change your password go to the login screen and select 'Reset It'

Yes—but with limitations. A single vehicle can be added to multiple MyToyota accounts. However, only one account at a time can actively access Connected Services and personal vehicle data such as trip history, remote controls, and notifications.

If you want to switch the active account, you can do so through the Connected Services Centre –  This ensures that only the designated account has full access to the vehicle’s connected features.

Yes, you can use the same Toyota account for multiple vehicles.

Toyota allows you to add up to 10 vehicles to a single account. This means you can manage more than one Toyota car—such as checking vehicle status, using Remote Connect features, and accessing service history—all from the same login

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Each vehicle must be individually added, scanning the QR code or, if not supported, by entering the VIN (vehicle identification number)

You're seeing the message "go to your dealer to do this verification manually" because the app has flagged a security issue during the physical access verification process. 

Here's what happened:

  • You likely entered the wrong mileage three times while trying to verify your vehicle
  • As a result, Toyota's system temporarily blocked remote activation to protect your personal data
  • To proceed, you'll need to visit your Toyota dealer in person

 

Why this matters:

  •  Your dealer will verify your identity to ensure that no unauthorised person can access your vehicle or personal information
  • This is part of Toyota's commitment to data privacy and customer protection

Once verified, the dealer can help unblock your account and activate the Connected Services you're trying to use

Connected Services will stop if the vehicle is removed from your account.

With a MyToyota account, you can manage your multimedia system, and receive useful insights on your car through the MyToyota app and the Portal/Personal Site.

Connected Services consists of the MyToyota app and Multimedia. Each suite is host to its own set of features and must be activated separately.

 

A quick way to check if Connected Services is active, is to check if your last trip details are displayed on the home screen of the app.

 

If you are unsure whether your Connected Services are activated, first select the correct car from My Garage, then click on Connected Services Center. Then you will see all services available for the car and their activation status. Then, follow the flow to activate the Connected Services that are available for your vehicle.

 

To activate Toyota Online connect your smartphone with your car, using either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi tethering, then click on the Setup tab. From there click on the Online tab, then the Toyota Online tab, and choose an existing account. Then enter your MyToyota credentials. 

Entering your details will start your 3 years of free service. You can check the expiration date of your Multimedia subscription via Customer Portal.

 

If you don’t have an existing account, you can directly create one in your car, by choosing the New Account option.

 

On vehicles equipped with Toyota Smart Connect, you can easily scan the QR code generated on the Head Unit with the MyToyota app or alternately introduce it manually into the app. Then activate the smart services in the Connected Services centre on the MyToyota app.  

 

For more information please see our How-to-guides

The account is shared between the MyToyota app and Customer Portal. On both platforms an account can be created from the login screen. After the creation of an account you will receive an activation email which you have to confirm before you can access your account and add your vehicle(s).

Your MyToyota app and Customer Portal account can be used on the vehicle's multimedia device. If you don’t have one, we recommend you download the MyToyota app and create one from there.

 

You can also create an account via the online Customer Portal or create an account via the multimedia device itself. In case of the latter, you will still need to accept the Terms of Use within 14 days in the Customer Portal (option is only applicable for multimedia systems before MM21 generation)

In the navigation bar click on the Account section icon, which can be found in the bottom right-hand corner, to edit profile settings.

Regrettably, we are unable to assist with this matter, as the Car Theft Assistant service does not manage vehicle delivery following recovery. In instances of theft insurance, please contact your insurer to confirm whether delivery support is included as part of their service.

When following the Car Theft Assistant process in the app, if the CRN is mandatory, you will not be able to reach the next steps of the process until the CRN is confirmed.

As this is a paid service, you must have a valid subscription to ensure that tracking is not interrupted.  

 

If the subscription expires or is cancelled, the tracking of the vehicle will stop, and the case will be closed. Rest assured, we will notify you to renew your subscription in advance. 

Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with this issue. Car Theft Assistant service does not cover any damage that occurs before, during, or after the theft. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine if they offer support in this matter.

When local law enforcement recovers your vehicle, they will contact you to notify you of the recovery. The Secure Operating Centre (SOC) will make sure you are fully informed about all events before closing the case. Depending on your country's law enforcement procedures, you may be asked to pick up your vehicle from the recovery location or a designated garage where it has been stored – charges might apply in this case. If you have theft insurance, contact your insurer to verify if vehicle delivery to your location is an option.

In the unfortunate event that your vehicle cannot be recovered due to the inability to track it—either because no signal was received or the tracking period has expired—the case will close automatically. You will then be notified through alerts and the Secure Operating Centre regarding the termination of the case and the reasons behind it.

The Secure Operating Centre will communicate in the language of the country in which you subscribed to the service. Please refer to the list of countries where this service is available. You can find the list of countries in the Terms of Use in your MyToyota app.

In certain countries, you must notify the police before contacting the Secure Operating Centre (SOC). The police must open a case to start communication with the SOC. After the case is opened, they will give you a Criminal Reference Number (CRN), which you will provide to us to verify compliance with local law enforcement requirements. Legislation varies by country, so obtaining a CRN might be optional.

In cases where your vehicle was not stolen and is under your possession again, you are kindly requested to cancel the case through the Car Theft Assistant menu. You can do this by directly calling the Secure Operating Centre (SOC) or selecting the SOC to contact you. In either case, a communication with SOC must take place to ensure that the cancellation was made intentionally and not in error. 

If your car is stolen in a country different from where it is registered, please consult the list of countries where this service is available. You can find this list in the Terms of Use within your MyToyota app.

 

If the country from which your vehicle was stolen is not on that list, we regret to inform you that we are unable to assist in tracking the stolen vehicle. 

If you possess theft insurance and have received reimbursement from the insurance company, please cancel the tracking. You can achieve this by selecting the cancellation option in the Car Theft Assistant menu within your app. Alternatively, you may contact the Secure Operating Centre (SOC) directly or request that the SOC reach out to you. 

When contacting the Secure Operating Centre, local charges apply depending on the country you are calling from. No charges apply when the SOC contacts you. 

No, navigation is not available in Serbia, Kosovo, or Israel. This will remain the case until the next USB map update.

For legal reasons, navigation coverage is not available in Serbia, Kosovo, and Israel. These areas will remain unavailable until the next USB map update.

If your Drive Recorder was not activated, it did not record the event.

You can find your recording in your Library in Drive Recorder Setting 

Yes, if you, as the Primary user, have subscribed to Connect & Secure, every other registered profile driving the vehicle will be able to use the Drive Recorder. Guest profile, will not be able to access the library. 

Toyota's Drive Recorder allows you to document any potential threats to your vehicle. As the driver—whether it's you or anyone else in the driver's seat, including primary users, secondary drivers, or registered users—you are responsible for following local regulations and staying informed about them. Therefore, it is your responsibility to delete the video clip when necessary.

As the Primary Driver, you can view any video clips of a crash, provided your friend did not turn off Drive Recorder before their drive.

After completing the subscription process on the MyToyota app, you will need to restart the engine to use the feature you have purchased. Make sure you have a network connection so the vehicle can connect to our servers to activate the feature in your vehicle. 

Once exported on your USB, a folder named " DRIVE_REC_MANUAL " will be created. In the folder, each video clip will be named as following: 

Year+Month+Day+Hours+Minutes+Secondes_OOO_NumberOfFiles

 

The first two symbols of [OOO] describe the type of recording: DC stands for Continuous Recording, DU stands for User trigger, and DG stands for Incident trigger. The latest one is the kind of camera: F stands for Front, B stands for Back, and S stands for Peripheral View Monitor. 

 

For example: 250822142226_DGF_1

This file has been recorded on the 22nd of August 2025, at 14:22:26. It is an incident recorded from the front camera of the vehicle, and is the first video exported.

No, Drive Recorder is only accessible with an active subscription. If your subscription ends, you will lose access to the recordings; however, they will not be deleted automatically as Toyota doesn't have access to your recordings. If you intend to sell your vehicle, it is advisable to delete your data beforehand, as it may be shared otherwise. 

Ensure you remove all recordings before selling your car. Please note that in order to access the recordings and delete them, active subscription is required.

Once activated, Drive Recorder captures your vehicle's surroundings while you drive. You are solely responsible for the data recorded during your journey. Therefore, it is essential to adhere to local laws when using it. Toyota is not liable for any misconduct on your part while using the drive recorder.

Please refer to Connect and Secure FAQ.

No, Drive Recorder is only accessible with an active subscription. If your subscription ends, you will lose access to the recordings; however, they will not be deleted automatically as Toyota doesn't have access to your recordings.

After completing your subscription on the MyToyota app, restart the engine to activate your purchased feature. Make sure a network connection is available so your vehicle can connect to our servers and enable the features. 

Please contact your dealership. 

Yes, they will.

A trip may be missing from Driving Analytics, Hybrid or EV Coaching for several reasons:

 

  • Connected Services not activated: Make sure the Standard Services are activated in the Connected Services Centre - My Garage in the App.
  • Profile not linked: Link your profile to the Multimedia system ( the head unit) in your vehicle so trip data is recorded in your App.
  • Privacy Mode enabled: At the end of the trip, if your vehicle location sharing is disabled, then your trip data will not be saved. If you want to see trip data, please ensure that the location sharing is enabled. You can refer to Privacy Mode section (MyGarage) in the app to check the status of location data sharing. To find out more, refer to questions about Privacy mode under category "Account".
  • No Trips Yet: Driving Analytics becomes available after your first recorded trip.
  • Short Trips: Very short journeys   (approximately less than 50 meters and 10 seconds) may not be saved to avoid clutter in the App.
  • GPS signal  Issues: Trips may not record correctly if you park in areas with limited or absence of coverage of GPS signals (for example, underground parking). They may appear later once the signal improves.
  • Data Sync Delay: Trip data may take a few hours to appear.
  • System Maintenance: Temporary outages or updates may affect trip recording.

 

If trips are still missing, please go to the Contact Us or App Support sections of the app.

Your Performance Score shows how efficiently and smoothly you drive, based on data collected from your vehicle during each trip.

It’s calculated as a weighted average of your trip scores, considering the total distance driven per trip. The overall score focuses on two main aspects: acceleration and braking.

- Gentle acceleration helps reduce consumption and vehicle wear

- Gentle braking helps you stay safe by keeping distance and anticipating obstacles

 

The service also provides a detailed score breakdown of your driving behaviour for each trip and monthly period. This includes metrics like acceleration, braking, and constant speed, when available, showing you how consistently you maintained your speed. If most of your driving happens in city conditions, your average speed may be too low for a constant speed score to appear.

 

The Performance Score and its details aim to help you understand your driving habits and suggest small changes that could improve efficiency and boost your vehicle's overall performance over time

Trip data may appear inaccurate for a few reasons:

 

  • Privacy Mode partially enabled: During a trip, if your vehicle location sharing is disabled for certain parts of the trip, then your trip data and route details may get skewed, resulting in inaccurate trip data visible in the app. When the vehicle location is unavailable during a trip, our systems create route data based on available maps and optimized routes for selected destinations, which may not be the actual route travelled. To find out more, refer to questions about Privacy mode under category "Account".
  • Poor GPS signal: Driving through tunnels, underground parking, or areas with poor GPS coverage can interrupt trip logging
  • Missing constant speed data: If most of your driving is in the city, your average speed may be too low, which may prevent constant speed score to be displayed.

 

If the issue persists, please go to the Contact Us or App Support sections of the app.

Driving Analytics, Hybrid or EV Coaching is a service designed to help you understand and refine your driving style. Using sensor data from your connected vehicle, including acceleration, braking, and constant speed, it generates a trip score ranging from 0 to 100, reflecting how smoothly and efficiently you drive.

Please note that the accuracy of the data used in these services should be read as indicative of magnitude rather than exact figures.

 

In addition to scoring your trips, the service provides you with trip summary data to give you a comprehensive view of your driving habits.

 

Driving Analytics, Hybrid or EV Coaching is available for individual trips as well as in a cumulative monthly overview. In the monthly overview, you can also access a graph displaying your daily driving analytics throughout the month.

 

Please note that the accuracy of the data used in this service should be read as indicative of magnitude rather than exact figures.

 

What’s the difference between the 3 services?

 

Each of these features provides personalised insights to help you make the most of your vehicle's performance and driving experience:

 

  • Driving Analytics is available for all connected vehicles
  • Hybrid Coaching is designed for hybrid vehicles
  • EV Coaching is tailored for fully electric vehicles

 

Some basic commands like media or climate control work offline. For advanced features or web-based questions, an internet connection is required.

Yes, the Intelligent Agent runs in the background and may offer helpful prompts. It is supported as a part of Connect & Drive subscription.

Yes, the Intelligent Agent depends on online services to deliver real-time information.

The Intelligent Agent is an advanced online assistant that offers proactive suggestions, engaging features, and helpful reminders. It is an upgrade from the Standard Voice Agent.

Yes. Settings are saved locally and uploaded to the Toyota server at regular intervals, during ACC OFF, or when profiles are switched or deleted.

Yes, in personal vehicles, the system can load the Last Loaded Profile (LLP) without the need for authentification(for selected models only). Users can at any moment change this setting and disable or enable the LLP function.

Guest Mode allows use of the multimedia system without having to create a profile. Access to some settings may be limited. Refer to FAQs per features.

You may need to set a Profile recognition method in the Profile settings. Depending on your in-car multimedia, please refer to our "How to onboard" videos.

The system prioritises loading the most recently used profile. If there’s a conflict, the user will be notified.

The system detects this and may notify you of a profile conflict, especially if the same user ID is active in more than one vehicle.

A User Profile stores personalised settings such as seat position, mirror adjustments, in-car multimedia preferences, and HVAC configurations. These profiles can be loaded automatically based on user identification.

Users are identified via Bluetooth (BT) devices, smart keys, Digital Keys, biometric authentication or by logging in via a PIN code. The system uses these to match the user with their saved profile.

In personal vehicles, the Primary profile has full control, including factory reset, profile deletion rights and Drive Recorder settings (refer to Drive Recorder subscription based feature FAQ). 

Secondary profiles have limited control and cannot delete Primary profiles or perform factory resets.

The QR code provides a direct link to the MyToyota account linking area, enhancing the onboarding UX by allowing users to quickly and easily link their accounts.

The music streaming service mirrors the explicit content settings from Spotify.

Spotify Free users have playback restrictions, such as shuffle-only mode, similar to the limitations experienced when using free Spotify on a smartphone.

The app will continuously retry in the background for 60 minutes. If retries fail, the screen will remain on the temporary connectivity issue error screen.

It offers a seamless experience similar to smartphone apps, enabling users to access music streaming services directly from the in-car multimedia system, thereby enhancing convenience and entertainment while driving.

Users can connect their music accounts, such as Spotify, to their MyToyota app account by selecting "connect" or "link" for the appropriate content provider within OneApp. This action redirects them to the content provider's landing page, where they can enter their login details. Once logged in successfully, the user should accept the Spotify consent, so that the content provider becomes accessible via HU (Spotify will then start functioning in HU). 

When you update the app (Spotify), those changes are immediately reflected in the in-car service. Furthermore, the in-car service will automatically restart to apply any newly configured settings.

The Voice Assistant communicates with streaming audio sources to fetch and play media contents requested by the user, processing commands and executing them.

Data connectivity (Network) is managed via DCM (Data Communication Module) with an active data subscription or external Wi-Fi hotspots. If the DCM is deactivated, the streaming audio functionality becomes unavailable. Please refer to the user manual for more information about DCM.

The apps support various languages, including those specified by Spotify according to the selected language of the in-car multimedia unit display.

The in-car multimedia unit will attempt to refresh the playback URL and start from the beginning of the song. If the content is unavailable, the app will navigate to the home page without automatic playback.

Dual streaming errors occur when one account streams content simultaneously. The error is resolved by user operation, such as disconnecting other devices.

The setup involves linking music accounts to the MyToyota app, ensuring data connectivity via DCM (Data Communication Module) or external Wi-Fi hotspots, and authorising the streaming services by accepting the consent. You need to complete the linking process in the MyToyota app; once your account is linked, your content will synchronise and display in the HU (Head Unit)

Playback controls include play/pause, next, previous, shuffle, repeat, thumbs up/down, like/dislike, and more, depending on the content provider.

Features include browsing, searching, and playing Spotify content, mimicking the experience of listening to Spotify directly from your device. The apps guarantee a premium driving experience without the need for additional external devices.

Using Toyota Connect Music (Spotify) allows the app to integrate directly with your vehicle’s system, bypassing Bluetooth connections that may compress audio and reduce sound quality. Music playback can also be controlled hands-free via the car’s voice assistant, helping you maintain focus on the road and supporting a safer driving experience.

The "offers" (& smart stops) feature is an addition to our Cloud Navigation system that provides drivers of eligible Toyota models with dynamic, real-time content for nearby Points of Interest (POIs). This feature shows offers available in the surroinding POI : restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, and more. 

Yes, users have the option to disable the feature within the navigation system settings if they prefer not to receive Offers or Smart Stops. We assure that the system is designed to prioritise your user data privacy and security. The feature accesses only necessary information, and data handling complies with our privacy policy, ensuring a secure and transparent user experience. To learn more about our privacy terms, please visit the Toyota Privacy Notice.

A: Here is the homepage of the Toyota Smart Connect In-car Multimedia System.

On your multimedia screen, go to Navigation, then Settings at the top right of the screen. Upon tapping on Settings, select “Map data”. The Navigation version number will be at the top of the screen. This number needs equal to [6.1.2] or above ([7.1.1,…]).

This functionality ensures drivers have easy access to relevant results, improving the overall search experience. Most relevant search results are shown at the top of the list, with a decorating ribbon on the card and showing the brand logo. By clicking on the top search results, you get to the Details Screen. Here you can discover special offers available at the POI. Once you are parked in a safe place, the Details Screen will then inform you as to how you can redeem the offer, depending on the POI (a QR or discount code that can optionally appear on the image or in the text).

Offers show you which POIs in your area are offering discounts and special offers. In some vehicles, the offers can be identified thanks to a gift icon next to the POI logo.

The low-fuel Smart Stop functionality is designed to provide drivers with timely suggestions for a nearby gas station, when your fuel level is running low. The navigation system uses real-time data on your vehicle's fuel level, distance travelled, and the location of available gas stations to intelligently suggest where to go to refuel. When the system detects a low fuel threshold (remaining autonomy of 140 km or 70 km), it prompts you with recommendations for nearby gas stations. By clicking on the Smart Stops card on the screen, you get to the Details section - Here you can discover special offers available at the POI, once your vehicle is parked in a safe place. 

This Smart Stop functionality is designed to suggest a POI when you have been driving for more than two hours. The navigation system considers factors such as your driving time, current location, and preferences to recommend relevant and interesting places to explore and take a break. Recommendations are typically provided at intervals during your journey to enhance your overall driving experience. By clicking on the Smart Stops card on the screen, you get to the Details Screen - here you can discover special offers available at the POI, once you parked your vehicle in a safe place.

Once your vehicle is parked in a safe place, click on the POI to see the Details Screen. In the Details  section you can find out how to benefit from the offer depending on the POI (a QR or discount code that can optionally appear on the image or in the text). The Details  section also provides the validity period of the offers. Validity can vary from one POI to the next. 

The Offers feature is available for Toyota vehicles with Toyota Smart Connect multimedia produced after 2021 with Cloud Navigation.

The Smart Stops feature is available for Aygo X, Yaris, Yaris Cross with a Toyota Smart Connect multimedia with 3 physical buttons on the side of the screen.

To access the features, you need a vehicle eligible for Cloud Navigation and Offers or Offers and Smart Stops, along with an active subscription to Cloud Navigation (Smart Services/Smart Car). Also, ensure you enable navigation data sharing and activate the feature in the navigation system.

Features include Branded Pins, showing brand logos with a gift icon (according to the vehicle) on the map, making it easy for you to explore your surroundings while driving.

In the settings menu of the navigation system under ‘Services’, you will find an option to toggle Offers and Smart Stops On or Off. 

 

You can choose to turn off only Smart Stops, in which case they will no longer appear. Alternatively, toggling off Offers will hide Branded Pin, Search, and Recommendations entirely. This gives you control over the content you see, allowing you to customise your navigation experience based on your preferences. You can change the settings at any time.

The feature is designed to be accessible across Europe, but initial availability may vary by country. We are continually expanding coverage to ensure a comprehensive experience in more regions. There are no additional charges associated with the service.

Branded pins are brand logos* displayed directly on the map, indicating the locations of POIs, making it easier for you to find and navigate to your favourite locations. Once your vehicle is parked in a safe place, click on the logo on the screen and you'll go to the Details Screen - Here you can discover special offers available at the POI. In the Details  section you can learn how to benefit from the offer depending on the POI (a QR or discount code that can optionally appear on the image or in the text).

Although there’s no side-by-side comparison view, you can easily check the estimated cost for any station and do the same for others. This makes it simple and convenient to compare options and find the best choice for your trip.

Yes. Discounts from other subscription tiers (Active and Active+) are included in the cost estimation.

Yes, the feature works across all stations within our network in the countries where we have coverage.

Yes - where applicable, the estimate will include any station-specific taxes, service charges, and/or peak-time surcharges. 

To find your vehicle’s battery capacity, visit the Owner’s Manual section on the Toyota website, enter your VIN, and check the vehicle details section: https://www.toyota-europe.com/customer/manuals.

If you need further assistance, please contact your local dealer.

To estimate your charging cost:
 

  1. Search for a charging station on the map
  2. Choose your preferred station to view all the location details. 
  3. Tap “Cost Estimation”
  4. Input the starting and target battery levels, then tap Calculate to view the estimated cost.

Pricing is updated occasionally and has no fixed schedule. All prices shown include tax, and the API also provides the applicable tax rate for roaming customers.

No, this is an estimate. Actual costs might vary slightly due to real-time station pricing, charging speed, session duration, and other factors such as battery age and temperature. 

 

The estimated cost is based on the latest pricing data provided by each charging point operator. While this information is generally up to date, the final cost could vary slightly because of real-time variations or additional charges that may not be immediately reflected.

Here is an itemised list of what may be included:
 

  • Starting Fee – a fixed amount billed per charging session
  • Time-based Fee – billed according to the charging duration (per unit of time)
  • Energy-based Fee – billed by the amount of energy used (kWh), which may vary by time of day
  • Blocking Fee – billed if you exceed the maximum allowed charging time at that location
     

Note: Not all charging points apply a starting or blocking fee - these fees will only appear in the breakdown if the operator charges them.

The Cost Estimation feature instantly provides an estimate of how much your EV charging session will cost at a selected station, based on the station’s current pricing, applicable fees, and your charging requirements. 

No, you’ll need to have the MyToyota app and an active subscription to the Connect and Secure bundle. Depending on your vehicle, Connect and Secure may already be included or available as part of a trial. If not, you can subscribe to it through the paid subscriptions section in your app.

In the MyToyota app, go to the Remote Immobiliser page, scroll down to the security code section and select 'Change code'. Biometric authentication is required and the engine will be unlocked automatically. Enter the new 6-digit code twice to confirm. If the previous code is forgotten, you can create a new one directly in the app. A notification will confirm the update.

  1. Subscribe to Connect & Secure bundle in the MyToyota app
  2. Create a 6-digit code on MyToyota app
  3. Activate Remote Immobiliser manually in the MyToyota app or set it to auto mode to engage it automatically
  4. Deactivate Remote Immobiliser manually in the MyToyota or via the multimedia screen with your 6-digit code

Once the Remote Immobiliser status loads in your app, the engine will show as unlocked. You can then lock the engine. It will lock automatically when the doors close or 60 minutes after the engine is turned off. You’ll receive a push notification once the engine is locked.

1. Manually from the app:

Once the status has loaded on the Remote Immobiliser page, the engine will appear as locked. Biometric authentication will then be required to unlock the engine via the app. Ensure the vehicle has network coverage. If the command is successfully received, the engine will be unlocked. If the code is forgotten, the engine can still be unlocked remotely.

 

2. From the in-car multimedia system:

Press the brake pedal and push the start button of your car. Enter the 6-digit code created in the mobile app on the multimedia screen. You have up to 10 attempts to enter the correct code before the screen is locked. The code is stored locally in the vehicle, so no network connection is required.

To lock the engine, please ensure the following conditions are met:

 

  • You have an active subscription to Connect & Secure bundle
  • The onboarding process is complete
  • Biometric authentication is enabled
  • All vehicle doors are locked
  • The vehicle has network coverage 

Auto Mode automatically activates the immobiliser when your vehicle is parked and locked, providing convenience and enhanced security without any app action.

Your car is equipped with an immobiliser that relies on the key fob transponder: it detects the transponder in the key fob and must be present within the vehicle to start the engine, even when using the Remote Immobiliser. The Remote Immobiliser is an additional security layer that requires a subscription and allows owners to lock the engine with a 6-digit code.

There are three ways to recover a forgotten code:
 

  1. Unlock the engine manually from the app using biometric authentification (vehicle network required)​. 
  2. Create a new code from the 'Change code' section of the app (vehicle network required)​
  3. Retrieve the 6-digit code from the app's 'View code' section and add it on the in-car multimedia screen when asked for (vehicle can be offline).

You can unlock the engine by entering the code directly via the in-car multimedia system. Alternatively, you can logon to your account on a different smartphone.

Check your internet connection for both your vehicle and mobile phone. Make sure all doors are locked and the app is updated. If the issue continues, contact support.

Remote Immobiliser is an extra layer of security that prevents the engine from starting unless the correct access code or signal is received. It helps protect your vehicle from unauthorised use or theft.

Different scenario may cause your Remote services not to work. Let's try to list the most frequent ones:
 

  • Your vehicle may not support some or all the remote services. Please contact your retailer to find out.
  • You may not have subscribed to the remote services.
  • If you have not used your car for more than 9 days then your car might have gone into sleep mode to protect its battery life.

The app allows you to select from three different tariff options:

  • Dynamic: An hourly rate for your energy consumption.
  • Off-Peak: Two rates for your energy consumption depending on the time of day.
  • Flat: A single rate for your energy consumption.

 

Our Smart Charging solution optimises charging schedules for Dynamic and Off-peak tariffs. However, a fixed flat energy tariff offers no advantages for shifting your charging times.

 

Therefore, an Off-Peak or even Dynamic energy contract is advisable for EV drivers charging at home. These contracts could significantly reduce charging costs when paired with our Smart Charging solution.

Yes, it's a preference you can set called ‘minimum state of charge’. In other words, it's the percentage of battery to be reached before your charging session begins to optimise. This preference ensures you always receive some battery charge immediately in emergencies. For example, if you plug in your vehicle with a very low level (e.g., 5%), it will immediately charge at full power until the required minimum is reached (e.g., 10%). Once achieved, Smart Charging will activate, optimising the remaining charge to align with your schedule and preferences. Keep in mind that this setting is only available for fully electric vehicles.

Currently, our Smart Charging service does not offer the integration of solar panels as an additional charging mode.

Smart Charging enables your EV to charge when the grid has surplus capacity and avoids charging during peak demand times, which alleviates strain on the energy transportation system and aids in balancing supply and demand.

If you relocate to a new address, you can install your HomeCharger there. To keep using Smart Charging, you must first deactivate the service. To do this, go to battery status, select "Smart Charging, " proceed to "Smart Charging Settings," and click on "Deactivate Smart Charging. " Once Smart Charging is deactivated, you can reactivate the service at your new home.

In the UK, Off-Peak regulation refers to a default charge scheduling mode that is standard on all new chargers. It uses fixed hours to charge during the night. On the other hand, Smart Charging optimises charging based on real-time factors like your personal electricity price and local grid demand. Smart Charging provides greater cost savings, improved grid efficiency, environmental benefits, and more flexibility than Off-Peak rates. UK Off-Peak regulations are safely disabled while Smart Charging is enabled.

To disable Smart Charging, click on the toggle "Smart Charging Enabled". This function allows you to temporarily disable the Smart Charging feature. To fully deactivate the service, go to "Smart Charging Settings" and click on "Deactivate Smart Charging". This will remove your data, including Smart Charging settings, MPAN, and Energy tariff. You can reactivate Smart Charging anytime in the app. 

Your MPAN number uniquely identifies your electricity supply point at your residence. You can find it on your electricity bill, not on the meter itself, usually in the section labelled "Supply Number" or "Meter Point Administration Number." It is typically located in a box on your bill beginning with a large letter 'S', sometimes towards the end or on the back. If you have difficulty finding it, contact your electricity supplier for assistance.

Your MPRN number uniquely identifies your electricity supply point at your residence. You can find it on your electricity bill, not on the meter itself, usually in the section labelled "Supply Number" or "Meter Point Reference Number", or simply "MPRN". It typically begins with the number '81' If you have difficulty finding it, contact your electricity supplier for assistance.

Your Anläggnings-ID is a unique 18-digit number that identifies your electricity connection (also known as Facility ID, meter ID, or EAN number). It always starts with '735 999' and helps make sure your electricity contract is linked to the right home. You can find your Anläggnings-ID on your electricity bill near your meter information, on the electricity meter itself, or in your electricity contract in the contract details section. Still can't find it? Ask your landlord, previous owner, or contact your electricity network company.

In order to update your MPAN, you first need to completely deactivate Smart Charging. To do that, go to battery status, select "Smart Charging", proceed to "Smart Charging Settings", and click on "Deactivate Smart Charging". After your Smart Charging is deactivated, you will be able to activate the service in the app and update your MPAN, energy tariff, and charging settings. 

To set up Smart Charging, you will need a Toyota or Lexus electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), your own Toyota or Lexus HomeCharge wallbox, and access to a home energy meter. The MyToyota app is also essential for setting up and managing this feature. We will review all details with you during the setup.

To ensure optimal performance of Smart Charging, you will need to disable all vehicle schedules, as conflicting schedules may interfere with your charging sessions.

Yes, if you want to charge a Guest vehicle, simply activate a charge override using the MyToyota app.

Yes, you can monitor your vehicle’s charging status using the MyToyota app.

Smart Charging schedules are automatically calculated based on your preferences. You can set your departure time and battery level preferences, and the system will optimise charging for efficiency, ensuring your vehicle is ready when needed.

Yes, you can set a target state of charge, which is the battery percentage to reach at the end of charging. For fully electric vehicles, it is recommended to set it below 100% unless needed for a trip. This helps extend battery lifespan and reduce charging during peak prices. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles, charge to full each time.

Currently not. Only one primary vehicle can be set up for Smart Charging per installed charger. If you want to use Smart Charging with another vehicle on the same charger, you must disable Smart Charging on the first vehicle before setting it up for the second one. If you want to charge a Guest vehicle, activate a charge override using the MyToyota app.

No, this feature is currently only supported on your Toyota/Lexus HomeCharge wallbox. 

Smart Charging aims to optimise your vehicle's energy usage timing, shifting charging to when electricity is cheaper and more environmentally friendly. You can also reduce your home's overall energy consumption by setting a target state of charge below full capacity for times when you don't need 100% of your battery.

Yes, you will need a stable internet connection to communicate with the app, allowing for remote control, monitoring, and scheduling.

Yes, but you may encounter a slightly lower battery percentage than what you've targetted at departure time. We're working to improve this feature.

Smart Charging aims to lower home charging costs by optimising it according to your electricity tariff and preferences. It creates personalised schedules to shift charge times to the most cost-effective times, avoiding high evening peak prices.

Smart Charging can be enabled once you've added your vehicle and HomeCharge wallbox to the MyToyota app. Once enabled, simply provide details of your home energy tariff, the time you need your vehicle, and the desired charge level. Smart Charging then utilises this information to intelligently create personalised charging schedules aimed at minimising your charging costs while meeting your mobility preferences.

The savings that Smart Charging can generate may differ depending on your electricity tariff type and rate, your charging habits, and local regulations.

Enable Smart Charging in your MyToyota app and provide all required information. To enjoy maximum benefits from Smart Charging, plug in your vehicle every time at home, and the system will optimize charging for efficiency, ensuring your vehicle is ready when needed.

Smart Charging optimises the timing and efficiency of the charging process but does not increase charging speed. To achieve the quickest charging time, activate a charge override via the MyToyota app.

Yes, Smart Charging is safe and does not harm your battery. It can help extend the life of your battery by preventing frequent overcharging and optimising charging cycles. Furthermore, no other Smart Charging system on the market takes responsibility for your battery like ours.

Electricity demand varies throughout the day.Typically peaking in the evenings when people return home from work and dipping during the night. Because electricity costs tend to rise during peak times, Smart Charging allows your EV to charge automatically during lower-cost, off-peak hours.

If you don't use Smart Charging, charging will begin when you plug-in and continue at full power until the battery is completely charged. This means you may miss out on potential savings during the charging session. In contrast, by activating Smart Charging, you can simply plug in and relax; we'll handle the timing of your charging session to ensure it begins at the best possible price.

To set up Smart Charging on your new car, you need to deactivate Smart Charging on the previous car. To do this, go to battery status, select "Smart Charging", proceed to "Smart Charging Settings", and click on "Deactivate Smart Charging". Once your Smart Charging is deactivated, you will be able to activate the service with your new car.

If you have set a charging limit on your car, please ensure that the target state of charge for Smart Charging is equal to or below this limit to avoid any conflicts and ensure optimal performance.

If a Smart Charging session continues, charging will follow the set schedule. After prolonged loss of connection, the system may decide to charge your vehicle to full to avoid restricting your mobility. You may still benefit from Smart Charging if the internet connection is restored before your car reaches its maximum charging level.

Yes, you can override Smart Charging in the MyToyota app at any time. This allows your vehicle to charge immediately at full power, bypassing any schedules or restrictions. Once the vehicle is unplugged, Smart Charging will be re-enabled, meaning your next charge will once again be automatically optimised. If you wish to disable Smart Charging for more than one session, you can also toggle it from within the app. Note: Overriding a Smart Charging schedule could lead to higher charging costs.

Your vehicle will charge at maximum power. If it remains plugged in after the designated departure time, it will continue charging until the target level is reached. 

Smart Charging offers a more intelligent and efficient method to charge your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid. It allows you to control when and how your EV charges – In this way, Smart Charging aims to help you save money, use less energy, and reduce strain on the electricity grid.

Once you've plugged in your vehicle, it can take a few minutes before it receives its ideal charging schedule. During this short time window, the speed of charge is being monitored and is used in the calculation process.

Smart Charging may exceed the target by 5% because of the charge level verification process. This occasional behaviour guarantees that the target charge is accurately reached.

Smart Charging aims to help you save money on your electricity bill by charging when it is cheapest for you. You don't need to remember when to plug in or unplug your vehicle; simply let us know when you will need it, plug it in, and we’ll take care of the rest.  

To maximise your savings, it is essential to allow only the Toyota Smart Charging service to control your vehicle and charger. Allowing other services to take control, such as directly from your energy retailer, may lead to conflicts that affect your savings and your vehicle's state of charge. Therefore, Toyota Smart Charging should not be combined with other flexibility services. Please ensure that any other service providing smart charging to your vehicle or charger is disabled.

The EU Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854) is a regulation that ensures fair access to and use of data generated by connected products and related services. In the automotive context, this includes:

 

  • Connected vehicles (cars, vans, trucks with telematics capabilities)

 

  • Smart home chargers (EV charging stations)

 

  • Related services like mobile apps for remote vehicle control or charging management

Vehicle Data: Data generated by the operation and performance of the vehicle, listed in the categories below.

 

Location data: 

  • Geolocation information (e.g., geolocation of your vehicle (longitude and latitude), planned destination, journeys, direction of travel), at precise times;
  • Journey information (e.g., recent destinations, favourite destinations).

Telematic data:

  • Driving behaviour (e.g., driving logs, driving speed, acceleration, and brake speed);
  • Technical vehicle data (e.g., mileage, fuel consumption, warnings) and diagnostic data (e.g., system failures and warning lights);

Home Charger Data: Data generated using home chargers, listed in the categories below.

  • Charging Session Data: Information about each charging session, including start and end times, duration, and energy consumed.
  • Energy Consumption Data: Detailed records of the amount of electricity used during charging, often broken down by time intervals.
  • Charging Efficiency: Data on the efficiency of the charging process, including any losses that occur during charging.
  • Device Status: Real-time status updates of the home charger, such as operational status, error codes, and maintenance alerts.

Related Service Data: Data representing your interactions with our services, including navigation history, vehicle and/or home charger control.

 

Metadata: Data necessary to interpret the above categories, such as descriptions, timestamps. location and units of measurement.

The EU Data Act, grants significant rights to the users of connected products. These rights are designed to give you greater control, transparency, and flexibility over how your data is accessed and used.

 

More specifically:

 

1. Right to View and Receive Data

 

You have the right to access and receive the data generated by your connected product and its associated digital services. This includes:

 

• Real-time and historical data such as location, fuel consumption, tyre pressure, engine diagnostics, and driving behaviour.

 

• Both personal and non-personal data, depending on the context of use (e.g., individual driver vs. fleet operator).

 

• Data must be provided in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, free of charge.

 

• This right ensures that you can understand what data is being collected and how it is used, and retrieve it for your own purposes — such as analysis, resale, or switching service providers.

 

 

2. Right to Share Data with Third Parties

 

You also have the right to instruct the vehicle manufacturer (or other data holders) to share your data with a third party of your choice. This could be:

 

• Independent repair shops or service providers for diagnostics and maintenance.

 

• Insurance companies for usage-based insurance policies.

 

• Fleet management platforms for logistics optimization.

 

• Digital service providers offering apps or tools that enhance your driving experience.

 

Manufacturers are legally obligated to make this data available to the third party you designate, under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. This promotes competition and innovation, and prevents lock-in to a single service provider.

 

 

3. Transparency and Access by Design

 

Manufacturers must ensure that:

 

• You are clearly informed about what data is collected, how it is used, and your rights.

 

• Vehicles, home chargers and services are designed with “access by design”, meaning data must be easily and securely accessible to you and your chosen third parties.

 

Examples

 

Example 1: Independent Maintenance: You want to use a local garage instead of Toyota’s service center. You can request that your vehicle’s diagnostic and maintenance data be shared directly with the garage, enabling them to perform repairs without needing proprietary tools or data.

 

Example 2: Insurance: You opt for a usage-based insurance policy. You can authorize your insurer to receive driving behavior data (e.g., speed, braking patterns) directly from your vehicle to calculate a personalized premium.

 

Example 3: Fleet Management: As a fleet operator, you can access real-time data from all vehicles in your fleet and share it with a third-party logistics platform to optimize routes, monitor fuel efficiency, and schedule maintenance. 

 

Example 4: Energy Consumption optimization. A third-party energy management company can combine data from a connected home charger, with that of other connected enrgy consuming devices, and provide reports and suggestions  to optimize charging times, reduce electricity costs, and improve energy efficiency based on real-time grid conditions and user preferences.

1. Toyota Customer Portal (Data Sharing Platform)

 

Through the Toyota Customer Portal, you can:

 

• View and download vehicle and home charger data such as trip history, fuel consumption, maintenance records, charging records and system alerts.

 

• Grant access to third parties like insurers, repair shops, or fleet managers.

 

• Monitor your vehicle’s performance and receive proactive service notifications.

 

• Please note that in order to use the Data Sharing Platform, you need to have a Customer Portal account.

 

This platform is designed to ensure transparency, ease of access, and compliance with the EU Data Act’s “access by design” requirements.

 

 

2. Vehicle Interface and On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Port

 

Your vehicle is equipped with an OBD port, which allows:

 

• Direct access to real-time diagnostic data (e.g., engine performance, fault codes).

 

• Use of third-party OBD tools and apps to retrieve and analyze data independently.

 

• Support for independent service providers to perform diagnostics and repairs without relying on proprietary systems.

 

This ensures that you — or a service provider of your choice — can access essential vehicle data without restrictions.

 

 

3. MyToyota App (Companion Mobile App)

 

The MyToyota app offers a mobile-friendly way to:

 

• Access your vehicle and home charger data anytime, anywhere.

 

• Receive real-time alerts, track your driving behavior, and monitor vehicle health.

 

The app complements the customer portal and OBD interface, giving you full control over your data in a convenient and user-friendly format.

Through the Data Sharing Platform in the Toyota Customer Portal, you can grant access to third parties like insurers, repair shops, or fleet managers.

 

This platform is designed to ensure transparency, ease of access, and compliance with the EU Data Act’s “access by design” requirements.

No charge for personal access. A reasonable fee may be charged to third-parties that receive access to your data.

To support transparency and compliance with the EU Data Act, Toyota provides a comprehensive data catalogue that outlines the types of data generated by connected vehicles and available for access or sharing.

 

You can find the full list of available data — including technical, usage, and diagnostic data — through the Toyota Data Sharing Platform, accessible at:

 

https://eda.toyota-europe.com/

 

The catalogue contains:

 

Descriptions of each data type, including format, frequency, and source (e.g., GPS, sensors, ECUs). 

 

Categories of data, such as:

 

• Vehicle health and diagnostics

 

• Driving behavior and usage

 

• Location and trip data

 

• Environmental and sensor data

 

• Home charger data

 

This catalogue helps users and third-party service providers understand what data is available,— ensuring fair, informed, and secure data use.

You can access vehicle or home charger data (on behalf of the product user):

 

Indicative examples:

  • Perform remote diagnostics before a service appointment
  • Offer predictive maintenance (e.g., alerting when vehicle components are worn)
  • Provide charging support (e.g., program home chargers to initiate charging when tariffs are low)

Your responsibilities are defined in the relevant Terms of Use provided when you register for an account and raise an onboarding request. 

Yes, provided that the product user has raised a request. Examples:

  • An insurer accesses driving behavior data to offer a pay-how-you-drive policy
  • A fleet manager retrieves charging logs from home chargeres to optimize energy use
  • A mobility app uses vehicle location and lock status to enable car sharing

Via:

  • APIs (e.g., RESTful APIs for real-time vehicle telemetry)
  • The Data sharing platform. You can access the platform via https://eda.toyota-europe.com/
  • Standard formats (e.g., JSON, CSV)

Some vehicle models include an Accident Assistant feature that automatically detects potential damage to your vehicle while driving, including accidents. 

Accident Assistant is automatically activated as part of your Standard Services subscription for supported vehicles, so there’s no need for manual activation. 

The Accident Assistant feature is constantly learning to better detect real accidents. Sometimes it may flag events that are not accidents, such as sudden acceleration, hard braking or driving over a large bump. 

The Accident Assistant only works while your vehicle is running. When your vehicle is parked and turned off, the system isn’t actively monitoring for damage or incidents. So unfortunately, any damage that happens while your vehicle is parked won’t be detected by the system. 

There can be delays in showing events, particularly if your vehicle hasn’t had a stable internet connection to send the data. Severe crashes involving airbag deployment may also take longer to process and send alerts. It’s also possible that certain types of collisions might not be detected by the system. 

When a crash is detected, the system collects data including the following: 

  • Time and date of the event 
  • Vehicle speed at the time of impact 
  • Direction and severity of the impact 
  • GPS location 

This data helps assess the accident and support further analysis. 

Crash notifications are sent to our systems. If you’ve chosen to consent to ‘connected vehicle assistant’, your information may be shared with dealerships in our network so they can contact you to help arrange repairs. 

The Accident Assistant is an integral part of the Standard Services subscription and is designed as a core safety feature. Sharing your crash information with dealerships in our network, however, is entirely based on your consent. You have the option to choose not to consent to any processing or communication of your crash information with dealers. If you wish to disable Accident Assistant completely, the only way to do so is by unsubscribing from the Standard Services. 

No, the Accident Assistant doesn’t directly contact emergency services. It sends information to our system, which may prompt follow-up actions like a call from your dealership to arrange repairs. Always call emergency services yourself if you need immediate help. 

It's important to note that sharing accident data for insurance or legal purposes is not automatic, it's entirely up to you. If you wish, you can manually generate and download a report containing the accident data and any photos you've uploaded, which you may then share with third parties such as insurance companies or legal representatives.
