WARNING

When securing some types of child 

restraint systems in rear seats, it may 

not be possible to properly use the 

seat belts in positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with it or 

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be 

sure your seat belt fits snugly across 

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it 

does not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a different 

position. Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the 

security of the child restraint system.

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-

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 
transmitter 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-

Safety information for Safety 
Connect

58

1-3. Lexus Enform

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 num-

ber appearing on the display. This lag 

could cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and excessive 

engine braking 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.

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.
