WARNING
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emergency Call in case of
accidents as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergencies, and it does not pro-
tect the driver or the passengers in any way. Please drive safely and fasten your
seatbelts at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or another unus ual smell, do not stay inside the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe area immediately.
●Since the system detects shocks, the automatic reporting may not always occur syn-
chronized with the operation of the airbag system. (If the vehicle is bumped from
behind, etc.)
●The airbag may not inflate even in case of an accident, if it does not involve high
impact. In such cases, the system may not make emergency calls automatically. The
system may also not make automatic emer gency calls even if the airbag has been
inflated. If any of these should occur, plea se report to the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) by operating the “SOS” button.
●For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mi shandling of the steering wheel, which may
lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of the area before making the Emergency
Call.
●When changing fuses, please use fuses that correspond to the described standard. If
you use fuses other than those described, it may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit
and may lead to a fire.
●Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a fire. Stop
using the system immediately and consult any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
