Yesterday saw this red light on sos button ,  any ideas?

Maybe a malfunction with the safety connect so contact a dealer. It’s in the first chapter or so of manual

Maybe it wants you to play it some Abba 😄

But more seriously it's a fault and you should report it to your dealer.

What red light, I only see a green light... or do you mean the SOS and Phone symbol?

If so, I'm guessing this is the first time you have driven the car in the dark  

But seriously, that's normal - It lights up so you can see it to press in case of emergencies in the dark.

Strange, mine lights green.

Weird... I wonder if they changed it in the later Corollas? I'm pretty sure the one in my Yaris is the same as pictured...

There is a recall on these - that might explain strange behaviour

Cyker, mine on ignition starts off red and changes to green quickly as per handbook.

[Cyker]

Do you mean the indicator lights at the bottom or the SOS+Phone symbol?

When I turn the car on, the SOS+Phone symbol stay red all the time, but the red and green indicator lights behave as you say.

The OP's indicator light is green so I don't think there is any problem.

[Rhysm]

There is a sequence it should do on start up, should light up red, go off, light up green, and then the red should come on and off and leave green on any other variation to this is a fault 

[Cyker]

Yup. Since his clearly shows green, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I suspect the red light the OP is talking about, according to the photo, is the SOS+Phone icon, which is *supposed* to be red.

Mine does show the sos and phone symbol it’s on all the time just had a look tonight there is a small red led that comes on when you start the car then goes out after a few seconds  and another green led stays on along with the sos and phone symbol

[Cyker]

What colour is the SOS+Phone symbol on yours?

Just checked with Toyota , its completely normal.
