■

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 
location.

■

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 
(1-800-255-3987) in the United 
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 Safety Connect response center. 
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 
description of the Roadside Assistance 
services and their limitations, please 
see the Safety Connect Terms and 
Conditions, which are available at 
Lexus.com.

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-

Safety Connect services

For safety and security

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 
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.

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. (

Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the engine needs to be running 

during setting up the display, ensure that 

the vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as 

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect 

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to 

death or a serious health hazard.

Sounds the alarm

*

: This setting must be customized at your 

Lexus dealer.

■

Panic mode

When 

 is pressed for longer than 

about one second, an alarm will sound 

intermittently and the vehicle lights will flash 

to deter any person from trying to break 

into or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the 

electronic key.

To take out the mechanical key, push 
the release button and take the key out.

The mechanical key can only be inserted in 
one direction, as the key only has grooves 
on one side. If the key cannot be inserted in 
a lock cylinder, turn it over and re-attempt 
to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in 
the electronic key. Carry the mechanical 
key together with the electronic key. If the 
electronic key battery is depleted or the 
entry function does not operate properly, 
you will need the mechanical key.
