Subscribers have the following Safety Connect services available:
● 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 emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency, contacts the nearest em ergency services provider to describe the
situation, and requests that assi stance be sent to the location.
Lexus Enform Safety Connect (if equipped)

System (GPS) data and embedded cellular technology to provide safety and security fea-
tures to subscribers. Safety Connect is supp orted by Lexus’ designated response center,
