nal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the response center or receive

tion will function in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada,

When the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the red indi-
cator light comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green
indicator light comes on, indicating that the service is active.
The following indicator light patterns indicate specific system usage con-
ditions:
●Green indicator light on = Active service
●Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process

(contact your Lexus dealer)
●No indicator light (off) = Safety Connect service not active
■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 emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services pro-
vider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to
the location.

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
●Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body,

●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

vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and harm
your vehicle’s paint.
●Rear spoiler (if equipped) may not be washable in some automatic car washes.
There may also be an increased risk of damage to vehicle.

●Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the win-
dows.
●Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
properly.

the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehicle:

hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes and diffusers until they
have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
can cause burns.
Set the wipers to the intermittent windshield
wipers. ( →P. 200)
If AUTO mode is selected, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly in the following situa-
tions, and may result in hands being caught
or other serious injuries and cause damage
