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 emergency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, 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 service.

Safety information for Safety Connect

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 Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines 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 available
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.

Exterior maintenance and care

Washing the vehicle

WARNING

When washing the vehicle, do not apply water to the inside of the engine compart-
ment.
If water contacts electrical components, it may cause the vehicle to catch fire.

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the exhaust pipes until they have
cooled sufficiently. Touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

NOTICE

To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion of the body and components (wheels,
etc.)

Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:

After driving near the sea coast

After driving on salted roads

If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface

If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the paint surface

After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron powder
or chemical substances

If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud

If liquids such as benzine or gasoline are spilled on the paint surface

If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.

To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with low
humidity when storing the wheels.

To prevent damage to the windshield wiper arms

When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm
upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When returning the wipers to their
original position, do so from the passenger side first.

Perform cleaning in a manner appropriate to each component and its material.

Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body, wheel
wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.

Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a chamois.

For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly with water.

Wipe away any water.

INFORMATION

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coating that is resistant to small surface scratches
caused by a car wash, etc.

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from when the vehicle is delivered from the plant.

The restoration time differs depending on the depth of the scratch and outside
temperature.
The restoration time may become shorter when the coating is warmed by applying
warm water.

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins, etc., cannot be restored.

Do not use waxes that contain abrasives.

When using a car wash

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:

Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the
vehicle is being washed.
Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.

Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with
push-button start.

Brake pads and calipers

Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors, causing them
to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive slowly and apply the brakes
several times to dry the parts.

Using an automatic car wash

NOTICE

Vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers:
When using an automatic car wash, move the wiper lever to the off position.
If the wiper lever is in the AUTO position, the wipers may operate unintentionally and the
wiper blades may be damaged.

preventing it from being washed or causing damage to it.

When it is necessary to set the engine switch to ACC with the shift position held
in N, refer to

The parts may be damaged if sprayed by high-pressure water.

Drivetrain related parts

Steering parts

Suspension parts

Brake parts

Keep the tip of the nozzle at least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle body.
Otherwise resin parts, such as the moldings, bumpers, etc., may be deformed and
damaged. Also, do not continuously spray water on the same place.

Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water enters the air
conditioning system intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air
conditioning system may not operate correctly.

Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure washer.
