FIND MY CAR

  • Through the MyToyota App (or through the MyToyota Portal) you can check the latest location of your Toyota vehicle. Based on the model of your Toyota vehicle, the location is retrieved based on the last geolocation data point received from your Toyota vehicle at the time you last switched off the ignition of your Toyota vehicle or live location.
  • You may visualise the parked location of your Toyota vehicle on a map, together with the location address (if available) and time the vehicle was left at that location. You may activate navigation to guide you to your Toyota vehicle (seeing the route, distance and walking time to your Toyota vehicle) through your MyToyota Account or through other applications (for example, Apple Maps, Google Maps, etc.).
  • In case your Toyota vehicle is equipped with a device allowing access and use of the Internet Access Service, the location of your Toyota vehicle is transmitted frequently while driving, allowing you to share your vehicle’s live location with others. Setting a shared live location allows you to select the contact persons with whom you wish to share your location and for how long. Your social media ID may be used to enable this feature.


SHARE TO CAR

  • In case your Toyota vehicle is equipped with a connected in-car navigation unit, you can design your journey as you wish on the MyToyota App and then send it to your Toyota vehicle. You may set an intended start time or target arrival time. The route calculation will predict the likely traffic conditions at that time and indicate the travel time accordingly. You can review the trips you have sent, edit them and resend them to your Toyota vehicle. You can add optional locations of interest to you on your way to your destination. Additional information on the connection and operation of your in-car navigation unit is available in the user manual of your Toyota vehicle or on the MyToyota Portal.


CAR TO DOOR

  • In case your Toyota vehicle is equipped with a connected in-car navigation unit, the MyToyota App will suggest to guide you to the destination that you have set in your in-car navigation after you have left the vehicle. This service is based on the difference between the location of your destination and the location of your parked Toyota vehicle. In other words, if you were unable to park your Toyota vehicle close to the destination you had set in your navigation, you may resume your guidance through the MyToyota App to reach your final destination (for example, on foot). You may optionally resume your navigation from other mobile applications. We will process the location of your final destination location and that of your (parked) Toyota vehicle. Additional information on the connection and operation of your in-car navigation unit is available in the user manual of your Toyota vehicle or on the MyToyota Portal.


DRIVING ANALYTICS

  • You can consult through the MyToyota App (or through the MyToyota Portal) records of your driving style / behaviour based on geolocation data, gyro- and G-sensors, mileage and fuel consumption data. Those records will be made available per trip. You may mark each individual trip as either “Private” or “Business” and generate a report where you can see events such as, for example, hard braking and hard acceleration, with their time and location.


BATTERY GUARD

  • Depending on the connected car device which your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, the MyToyota App will display the state of charge of your 12-volt starter battery. In case the state of charge decreases to a level that may prevent your Toyota vehicle from starting, a warning message will be displayed on the MyToyota App.


ACCIDENT ASSISTANT

  • This service will be available depending on the type of connected car device that is installed in your Toyota vehicle. If this service is available with respect to your Toyota vehicle, certain sensors related to the connected car device will monitor impacts on your Toyota vehicle. If an impact exceeds a predefined severity threshold, we will be notified of that impact. Such “crash”-related information may be shared with your local Toyota Roadside Assistance (RSA) company who may contact you to offer assistance, based on the severity details of your crash data and based on their local policies. The RSA will contact you using your personal data accessible from your MyToyota Account. Emergency contact persons (if any) indicated in your MyToyota Account may also be contacted depending on the local RSA’s policy. If the RSA cannot reach you (for example, because you would not be able to respond) or your emergency contact persons, the RSA may, depending on their local policy and the severity of the crash, involve emergency assistance or the police. You and your emergency contacts always have the possibility to accept or decline the assistance provided by the RSA.
  • We do not offer any guarantee as to the availability or the quality of any form of emergency assistance that we may provide to you. Neither the RSA nor TME may be held liable for any failure to involve emergency assistance or the police or for any delay or error in doing so.
  • Please note that if you activate the “privacy mode” through the MyToyota App and/or your MyToyota Account (i.e. you stop us from using the geolocation of your Toyota vehicle), we will not be able to locate your Toyota vehicle in case of a crash and this service will not function (please refer to the Connected Services Terms of Use and the Connected Services Privacy Notice for more information about Privacy Mode).
  • In certain circumstances, the mandatory emergency call functionality will be activated: Please note that your Toyota vehicle will automatically notify emergency services in the country where your Toyota vehicle is located in case of a crash triggering an airbag deployment. This is regulated by EU regulation on “eCall” (Regulation (EU) 2015/758 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015) or its local equivalent outside the European Union, where applicable.


WARNINGS LIGHTS

  • Depending on the connected car device which your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, the MyToyota App may alert you on certain warning signals displayed in your Toyota vehicle. These warning signals mirror, but do not replace, the warning lights displayed in your Toyota vehicle’s dashboard / combi-meter. You remain as a driver at all times responsible to act on the warning lights in your Toyota vehicle.
  • These warning signals will be communicated to the Toyota network to provide you with support and to assist you if a repair is needed. Through the consent given to Toyota and MyToyota App, you will be given the possibility to decide whether you would like to be contacted or not. Please note that Toyota and the Toyota Network does not offer any guarantee as to contact you proactively in case of a Warning Light, as this service depends greatly on your region, availability and coverage. In case of a Warning alert, please always follow the instructions in the Owner Manual for specific guidance.


FUEL LEVEL

  • Depending on the connected car device which your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, the MyToyota App will display the level of fuel available in the tank of your Toyota vehicle. The remaining fuel level is expressed in percentage of the total fuel capacity. The indicated fuel level is based on the last fuel gauge sensor data received from your Toyota vehicle at the time you last switched off the ignition. As a result, there might be discrepancy between the fuel level indicated on the MyT App and the fuel level indicated on the instrument panel of your Toyota vehicle. Marginal discrepancy could also occur, depending on the environment your Toyota vehicle is parked in (for example outside temperature, declivity…). You should always refer to the indication of the fuel gauge on the instrument panel of your Toyota vehicle, and Toyota does not accept any responsibility in case of incomplete or inaccurate information shown in the MyT App.


HYBRID DRIVER COACHING

  • This service will you allow to consult through the MyToyota App records of your hybrid drive performance based on key hybrid indicators (EV time and hybrid driver score).
  • Those records will be made available per trip. Each trip is mapped highlighting your EV drive as well as behavior events (acceleration, braking and constant speed) which are linked to a contextualized coaching to help you to reduce your fuel consumption. You can also access your aggregated data and easily track the evolution of your hybrid drive performance over time.


REMOTE FEATURES

Depending on the connected car device your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, the MyToyota App will display the battery level and remaining range of your plug-in hybrid or your electric vehicle.

The remaining range is indicated in km but might differ from the range displayed in the car. Always refer to the indication of the battery on the instrument panel of your Toyota vehicle.

Toyota does not accept any responsibility in case of incomplete or inaccurate information shown in the MyT App. Additionally, this service allows you to remotely schedule a charging session for your car.

Depending on the connected car device your Toyota vehicle is equipped with, you will be able to remotely pre-heat or pre-cool your vehicle via the MyToyota App. Based on your vehicle model, you may also be able to remotely set a desired temperature, start the defroster of your front or rear windshield, as well as set one or multiple schedule(s) for pre-heating or cooling of your car.

Use the Car Spotter function and the hazard lights switch on remotely to help you locate your vehicle. Hazard lights are activated for a duration of 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, you can initiate them again.

CLOUD NAVIGATION

On the head unit (infotainment system) that your vehicle is equipped with, you can enjoy our range of services, the cloud navigation service. This service will provide a map and a guidance system that will give you step by step indications on how to reach your destinations. The navigation system uses the position of your vehicle and defines the necessary steps in order to determine how to go to where you want to be.

The system also highlights convenience stores, the latest locations you have visited to provide quicker access and offers alternative routes based on your preferences.

Cloud Navigation is constantly connected to the internet, which allows it to update the maps on a recurrent basis and provide most accurate information.

ROAD EVENTS

The road events services provide information about hazards. This is displayed as an icon on the Cloud navigation service, on top of the map to easily visualize where the event is located. The system will alert the presence of an event, or the user will be able to see events around her/him depending on the zoom level chosen.

Hazards type of events include Accident warning, Broken down vehicle warning, Object on the road, Bad road conditions among other hazards notifications.

The system will use the location of the vehicle to map the events around it and it will calculate and inform the distance to it.

PARKING

Parking service will help you find parking in specific areas of your country to help save time on this task. The service will provide information about off-street parking (e.g. parking garages, parking undergrounds) and on-street parking

In both scenarios the service will provide point of interest information (POI) such as location, hours of operation, costs, special requirements and other categories whenever the information is available. Depending of the location, the system will provide an indication on the probability of finding available parking spots (e.g. low, medium, high).

To be able to provide this information, the system will one one hand use the location of the vehicle in order to offer parking options around the car and on the other hand it will be able to calculate and offer parking options close to the destination of the user.

In the case of onstreet parking, the system will provide the capability of paying digitally for the parking being used on the selected street, on selected cities across Europe. The Head Unit (infotainment system) will connect to parking operators and to municipalities in order to secure a timeframe and secure the transaction for the use of that session. In order to use the service, the user will need to provide a payment method on MyT companion application.

Other personal data such as your full name and vehicle registration/plate number, and others, will be required in order to use the service. Your personal data will be treated with the highest standards of confidentiality and following GPDR rules and policies issued by the European Union.

VOICE AGENT

Artificial Intelligence and the cloud work together in a clever way to spare you from grappling with buttons while concentrating on the road ahead. The newly developed system understands natural language and the context of statements such as 'I'm hungry' or 'I'm cold' and can even recognise which passenger is speaking. Without taking your hands off the wheel, use your voice to interact in more than 100 different ways across phone, navigation, audio, vehicle controls such as AC or seats, and cloud.
