Drive with Confidence: How myToyota Connect Enhances Your Safety
Smart technology working behind the scenes to help protect you, your passengers, and your peace of mind.
When we talk about safety at New Town Toyota, we don’t just mean airbags and brakes. These days, safety also lives in your pocket—with the myToyota Connect app helping you stay informed, aware, and connected to your vehicle wherever you are.
Here’s how myToyota Connect supports safer driving, smarter responses, and more confident decision-making—whether you’re on the road or at home.
SOS Emergency Call – Help When You Need It Most
(Included in Connect+ subscription)
In the event of a serious accident or emergency, time is everything. With SOS Emergency Call, your Toyota can automatically connect you to emergency services or let you manually request help through the app.
Whether you’re driving alone late at night or exploring off the beaten track, knowing this feature is built in offers true peace of mind.
Vehicle Status Alerts – Stay Ahead of the Unexpected
(Included in Essential, Connect and Connect+ plans)
Your Toyota can alert you when something’s not right—like a warning light on the dash, a low battery, or even when it’s time for a service. These real-time updates help prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
You’ll also receive a notification if your car is unlocked or if a door is left ajar—ideal if you’ve parked in a public area or left in a hurry.
Remote Lock and Unlock - Keep Your Car Secure
(Connect+ only)
Ever left your car and wondered, “Did I lock it?” Instead of second-guessing yourself, just check the app. If it’s unlocked, you can secure it remotely with a tap.
This is especially useful when your car is out of sight—at a park, shopping centre or overnight street parking.
Live Vehicle Locator - Always Know Where You Are
(Connect+ only)
If you’re driving in unfamiliar areas or lending your car to a family member, the Vehicle Locator feature lets you view the car’s live location. In emergencies or even minor incidents, this can speed up response times and help you feel more in control.
It’s also useful if your car is lost or stolen—information from the app can help authorities locate it faster.
Drive Pulse & Trip History – Safer Driving Starts With You
(Connect and Connect+ only)
Knowing how you drive is one of the best ways to improve road safety. The app records your driving behaviour, things like hard braking, sharp turns, or sudden acceleration and gives you a score out of 100.
This feature can help you build better habits, drive more smoothly, and keep your passengers more comfortable. It’s also a great tool for parents of new drivers.
Service Reminders – Stay Roadworthy Without the Guesswork
(All plans)
Regular servicing is key to long-term safety. myToyota Connect takes the guesswork out by tracking your odometer and alerting you when your next service is due.
With direct links to your Toyota Service Advantage and online booking tools, it’s never been easier to stay on top of maintenance.
Safety Backed by Smart Technology
From roadside assistance to real-time updates, myToyota Connect adds an extra layer of confidence to every drive, without adding extra effort. Whether you’re commuting through Perth or heading off on a weekend trip, it’s good to know you’ve got your vehicle’s safety systems working with you, not just for you.
