Safety Connect Services Information

●

Phone calls using the vehicle’s Blue-
tooth

®

 technology will not be possible 

during Safety Connect.

●

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 and Stolen Vehicle 

Location will function in the United 

States, including Hawaii and Alaska, 

Puerto Rico and in Canada, and 

Enhanced Roadside Assistance will func-

tion in the United States, Puerto Rico and

The Safety Connect response center will 

offer support in multiple languages. The 

Safety Connect system will offer voice 

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 

Safety Connect LED light Indi-
cators

For safety and security

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-
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]

Safety information for Safety 
Connect

58

1-3. LEXUS Enform



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.

mode to indicate that the system has 
been canceled.

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a maintenance-free type 

engine immobilizer system.

■

Conditions that may cause the system to 

malfunction

●

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does 

not come on

Should a safety system light such as the 

ABS and SRS warning light not come on 

when you start the engine, this could 

mean that these systems are not available 

to help protect you in an accident, which 

could result in death or serious injury. 

Have the vehicle inspected by your 

Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.

Welcome illumination of the analog 

speedometer

●

When the driver’s door is opened, the 

analog speedometer will illuminate. Then, 

when the driver’s door is closed, the ana-

log speedometer will illuminate and go 

off (pulsate) 3 times.

●

In the following situations, the analog 

speedometer will not pulsate even 

though the driver’s door is opened and 

closed:

• Within 60 seconds after the analog 

meter pulsation completes

• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine 

switch off

■

Variable red zone

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.

■

Eco driving meter

●

The number of blue segments displayed 

on the eco driving meter 

decreases/increases depending on the 

vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a 

guideline when you wish to drive in an 

eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel 

consumption.

However, on a downward grade where 

the vehicle can accelerate without the 

accelerator pedal being depressed, the 

eco driving meter may not display the 

eco-driving state correctly.

●

When the shift lever is moved to P, N or 

R, the segments will turn gray and the eco 

driving meter will not operate.

■

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 of the tachom-

eter enter the red zone, as it rep-

resents the engine speed range which 

exceeds the maximum safe engine 

speed.

●

In the following situations, the engine 

may be overheating. In this case, 

immediately stop the vehicle in a safe 

place, and check the engine after it has
