Automatic notifications
If an airbag deploys, an emergency signal is sent
automatically to the Lexus Link Call Center. In your vehicle, the
system announces “Placing an emergency call to the Lexus
Link Center.” In response to the signal, Lexus Link Advisor will
attempt to communicate with you first. If the Advisor cannot get
any response from you, the Advisor will locate your vehicle
through the GPS, call the nearest emergency services
provider, describe the situation and your location. If necessary,
the Advisor will transfer your call to the emergency services
operator.
If the theft deterrent system on your vehicle is activated,
the Lexus Link System on your vehicle will automatically call
the Lexus Link Call Center. The Advisor will attempt to contact
you to determine whether the alarm is valid.
If you report to the Lexus Link Call Center that your vehicle has
been stolen, the Advisor will locate, track and provide location
information to the appropriate law enforcement authority. To
protect subscriber privacy, the Lexus Link Call Center will not
provide the location of a vehicle to anyone other than a law
enforcement authority.
If you accidentally activate the vehicle alarm, push the
“UNLOCK” button on the wireless remote control key within 55
seconds after the alarm was set off, or insert the key into the
door keyhole or ignition switch. The Lexus Link System will
cancel the theft call.NOTICE
Once the emergency button is pushed, an emergency
call cannot be cancelled.
This system is only operational in GPS and analog
