■Luggage compartment (120 V AC)
The power outlet can be used for 120 V AC accessories that run on less than
100 W.
■The power outlet can be used when
12 V DC: The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
120 V AC: The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■The protection circuit may be activated to cut the power supply if any of the following
conditions apply (120 V AC):
●Use of electrical appliances exceeding 100 W is attempted.
A sound may be heard when the protection ci
rcuit is activated. This is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
●The total power usage by all electrical featur es (headlights, air conditioning, etc.) has
exceeded the total vehicle maximum for an extended period of time.
■If the protection circuit is activated and the power supply is cut, conduct the following
procedure (120 V AC):
Park the vehicle in a safe place, and then securely apply the parking brake.
Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the maxi-
mum capacity of the power outlet and the appliance is not broken.
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open the windows to cool the temperature down.
Once it reaches the normal temperature, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON
mode again.
If the power supply does not resume even after the above procedure has been per-
formed, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

NOTICE
■To prevent the fuse from being blown
12 V DC: Do not use an accessory that uses more than 12 V 10 A.
120 V AC: Do not use a 120 V AC appliance that requires more than 100 W.
If a 120 V AC appliance that consumes more than 100 W is used, the protection circuit
will cut the power supply.
■Appliances that may not operate properly (120 V AC)
The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power consumption
is under 100 W.
●Appliances with high initial peak wattage
●Measuring devices that process precise data.
●Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■To prevent battery discharge
12 V DC: Do not use the power outlet longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.
120 V AC: Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories, such as the
headlights and air conditioning, when electrical appliances that consume in excess of
100 W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■To prevent any damage caused by heat (120 V AC)
●Do not use any electrical appliances that give off intense heat, such as toasters, in any
locations including the internal or external trim, seats and deck.
●Do not use any electrical appliances that are easily affected by vibration or heat inside
the vehicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat of the sun while parking, may result in
damage to those electrical appliances.
■If any electrical appliances are to
be used while driving (120 V AC)
Securely fasten both the appliances and th eir cables to prevent them from falling or
getting caught in any of the power train components.
■If the power outlet is loose when an electrical appliance plug is connected (120 V
AC)
Replace the outlet. Contact your Lexus dealer for any necessary replacements.
■If the power outlet gets dirty (120 V AC)
Turn the main switch off and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe it gently. Do not use any
cleansing materials, such as organic solvents, wax, or compound cleaners, as these
may damage the power outlet or cause it to malfunction.

■Languages
The Safety Connect response center will offer support in multiple languages. The Safety
Connect system will offer voice prompts in English and Spanish. Please indicate your lan-
guage of choice when enrolling.
■When contacting the response center
You may be unable to contact the resp onse center if the network is busy.
When the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the red indicator
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 conditions:
●Green indicator light on = Active service
●Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process
●Red indicator light (except at vehicle start-up) = System malfunction (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 atte mpts to speak with the vehicle occu-
pants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to commu-
nicate, 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.

Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
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 fol-
lowing 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 physi-
cians 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.
■Certification for Lexus Enform Safety Connect
FCC ID: N7NGTM2
FCC WARNING:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. This equipment should be installed and
operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may cause the
electrical components etc. to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wiper)
●When the upper part of the windshield where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor bo dy or if something bumps into the raindrop
sensor
■Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled suffi-
ciently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■Precautions regarding the Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction.
If this occurs, consult your Lexus dealer.
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly in the following situa-
tions, and may result in hands being caught or
other serious injuries and cause damage to the
wiper blades.OFF
