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 occu-
pants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to commu-
nicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts 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 Connect to initiate this

stances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle. Further informa-
tion is 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 Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF
exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless phones. Those guide-
lines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by the following U.S.
and international standards bodies.
●
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
●
NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement) Report
86 [1986]
●
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
[1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from
universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to
those standards.
