Safety Connect is available beginning Fall 

2009 on select Lexus models (in the 

contiguous United States only). Contact 

with the Safety Connect response center 

is dependent upon the telematics device 

being in operative condition, cellular con-

nection availability, and GPS satellite sig-

nal reception, which can limit the ability to 

reach the response center or receive 

emergency service support. Enrollment 

and Telematics Subscription Service 

Agreement required. A variety of sub-

scription terms is available; charges vary 

by subscription term selected and loca-

tion.

Automatic Collision Notification, Emer-

gency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle and 

Enhanced Road Assistance will not func-

tion in the United States Virgin Islands.

For vehicles first sold in the USVI, no 

Safety Connect services will function in

●

Safety Connect services are not subject 

to section 255 of the Telecommunica-

tions Act and the device is not TTY com-

patible.

■

Languages

The Safety Connect response center will 

offer support in multiple languages. The

prompts in English, Spanish, and French. 

Please indicate your language of choice 

when enrolling.

■

When contacting the response center

You may be unable to contact the response 

center if the network is busy.

When the engine switch is turned to 
IGNITION ON mode, the red indica-
tor light comes on for 2 seconds then 
turns off. Afterward, the green indica-
tor light comes on, indicating that the 
service is active.
The following indicator light patterns 
indicate specific system usage condi-
tions:



Green indicator light on = Active 
service



Green indicator light flashing = 
Safety Connect call in process



Red indicator light (except at vehi-
cle start-up) = System malfunction 
(contact your Lexus dealer)



No indicator light (off) = Safety 
Connect service not active

■

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or 
severe rear-end collision, the system is 
designed to automatically call the 
response center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location and 
attempts to speak with the vehicle 
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to 
communicate, the agent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services 
provider to describe the situation, and 
requests that assistance be sent to the 

Safety Connect LED light Indi-
cators

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect 
can work with local authorities to assist 
them in locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police report, call 
the Safety Connect response center at 
1-800-25-LEXUS

States, 1-877-539-8777 in Puerto 
Rico or 1-800-265-3987 in Canada, 
and follow the prompts for Safety Con-
nect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law enforce-
ment with recovery of a stolen vehicle, 
Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle 
location data may, under certain cir-
cumstances, be shared with third par-
ties to locate your vehicle. Further 
information is available at Lexus.com.

■

Emergency Assistance Button 
(“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on the 
road, push the “SOS” button to reach

The answering agent will determine 
your vehicle’s location, assess the 
emergency, and dispatch the neces-
sary assistance required.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, 
tell the response-center agent that you are 
not experiencing an emergency.

■

Enhanced Roadside Assistance

Enhanced Roadside Assistance adds 
GPS data to the already included war-
ranty-based Lexus roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” but-
ton to reach a Safety Connect 

response-center agent, who can help 
with a wide range of needs, such as: 
towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a

services and their limitations, please 
see the Safety Connect Terms and 
Conditions, which are available at

Important! Read this information about 
exposure to radio frequency signals 
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in 
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also 
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted 
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set by the 
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.



ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]



NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement) 
Report 86 [1986]



ICNIRP (International Commission 
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]

Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. Over

For safety and security

120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries 
reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.

The indicator light flashes after the 
engine switch has been turned off to 
indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing after 
the engine switch has been turned to

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a maintenance-free type 

engine immobilizer system.

■

Conditions that may cause the system to 

malfunction

●

If the grip portion of the key is in contact 

with a metallic object

●

If the key is in close proximity to or touch-

ing a key registered to the security sys-

tem (key with a built-in transponder chip) 

of another vehicle

Engine immobilizer system

The vehicle’s keys have built-in tran-
sponder chips that prevent the 
engine from starting if a key has not 
been previously registered in the 
vehicle’s on-board computer.

Never leave the keys inside the 
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

This system is designed to help pre-
vent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security 
against all vehicle thefts.

■

Variable red zone (IS500)

To help protect the engine, the engine 

speed is controlled by starting the red zone 

of the tachometer at different engine 

speeds ranging from 3700 rpm to 7300 

rpm depending on the engine coolant tem-

perature. Before driving under extremely 

high load conditions, make sure to suffi-

ciently warm up the engine.

■

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the correct 

outside temperature may not be dis-

played, or the display may take longer 

than normal to change:

• When stopped, or driving at low speeds 

(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])

• When the outside temperature has 

changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of 

a garage, tunnel, etc.)

●

When “_ _”or “E” is displayed, the system 

may be malfunctioning.

Take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer.

■

Pop-up display

●

In some situations, such as when a switch 

operation is performed, a pop-up display 

will be temporarily displayed on the



Trip meter A/trip meter B

Displays the distance the vehicle has been 
driven since the meter was last reset. Trip 
meters A and B can be used to record and 
display different distances independently.



change

Displays the distance the vehicle can be

■

Changing the display

Each time the “ODO TRIP” switch is 
pressed, the displayed item will be 
changed. When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the switch 
will reset the trip meter.

WARNING

■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display 

monitor may respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the 

driver’s shifting and the new gear number 

appearing on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift again, 

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in 

death or injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and 

its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the 

tachometer enter the red zone, which 

indicates the maximum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating if the 

engine coolant temperature gauge is 

in the red zone (H). In this case, imme-

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it has 

cooled completely. (
