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 re sponse center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicl\
e 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.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Conn ect can work with local authorities to
assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing a police report,
call the Safety Connect response ce nter at 1-800-25-LEXUS (1-800-255-
3987) in the United Stat es, 1-877-539-8777 in Pu erto Rico or 1-800-265-
3987 in Canada, and follow the prompts for Safety Connect to initiate this
service.
In addition to assisting law enforcemen t with recovery of a stolen vehicle,
Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle locatio n data may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle. Further informa-
tion is available at Lexus.com.
■Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency on the ro ad, push the “SOS” button to reach the
Safety Connect response center. Th e answering agent will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the emergency, and dispatch the necessary assis-
tance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the response-center agent that you
are not experiencing an emergency.

■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 Commu nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safe ty standards previously set by the fol-
lowing U.S. and internat ional standards bodies.
●ANSI (American National Stan dards 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 governme nt health agencies and industries
reviewed the available body of rese arch to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies wi th the FCC guidelines in addition to
those standards.

■HD Radio™ Technology troubleshooting guide
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
