    I have a 2017 SR so I don't have all that cool stuff.

    Pontoons inflate on the sides of truck, a flag pops up from between cab and box, a boat motor pops out of the rear bumper and a captains hat drops onto your head. Happy sailing:D:D:D

    I like to flip the cover when the girl is driving her Camry. She gets pissed.

    But in reality, you're prompted if it's an emergency. When you have issues getting your remote connect to work, you can use the SOS button and get live help.

    While I would love it to do all the cool things previously mentioned, pressing the SOS button connects you to the Toyota call center. They can contact emergency services, get you roadside assistance, and help with your connected services. The voice communication is also part of the collision notification system. Go ahead and push it. Nothing will blow up, eject, launch, etc. :)
