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

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

Safety information for Safety
Connect

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.

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.
