When installing the driver's floor mat ●
Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,
even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.●
Only use floor mats designed for the driver's seat.●
Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.●
Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.●
Do not place the floor mat bo ttom-side up or upside-down.■
Before driving ●
Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in
the correct place with all the provided
retaining hooks (clips). Be especially care-

Safety Connect services
■ 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 vehicl e’s location and attempts to speak
with the vehicle occupants to asse ss 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.

Interior features Safety information for Safety Connect
Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.
■ Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect sy stem installed in your vehicle 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 th e 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 Radiation 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.
