CAUTION
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination,
which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers
or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full at tention to driving. Anything that distracts
the driver, such as adjusting controls, ta lking on a cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or
others.
Drive considerately: Drive carefully and gently when a pregnant woman or a per-
son suffering from heart disease or other illness that requires rest is on board.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehi cle, and never allow children to have or
use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the accessory
socket, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

■Conditions affecting operation
In the following situations, the wireless remote control may not operate properly:
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, broadcasting station, airport or other
facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise, an audio or other
radio wave emitting device or a large display
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication device
●When multiple wireless remote controls are in the vicinity
●When the wireless remote control is in contact with, or is covered by certain
metallic objects
●When another wireless remote control (that emits radio waves) is being used
nearby
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a wireless remote control function onto an aircraft, make sure you
do not press any buttons on the wireless remote control while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the wireless remote control in your bag etc, ensure that
the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause
the wireless remote control to emit radio waves that could interfere with the opera-
tion of the aircraft.
■Customization that can be conf igured at your Lexus dealer

■ Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect sy stem installed in your ve hicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio fre-
quency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels fo r mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards pre-
viously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on co mprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, an d government health agencies and
industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect co mplies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.
