WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the infl uence: Never drive 
your vehicle when un der the influence of 
alcohol or drugs that  have impaired your 
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol 
and certain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coordina-
tion, which could lead to an accident that 
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving:  Always drive defen-
sively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make and 
be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full 
attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-
trols, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with 
resulting death or serious injury to you, 
your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding chil-
dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the 
vehicle, and never allow children to have 
or use the key.
Children may be able  to start the vehicle 
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is 
also a danger that children may injure 
themselves by playing with the windows 
or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold 
temperatures inside the vehicle can be 
fatal to children.

581-3. Lexus Enform
The Safety Connect system installed in 
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter 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 lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set by the 
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.
ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
 NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement) 
Report 86 [1986]
 ICNIRP (International Commission 
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]
Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. Over 
120 scientists, engi neers, and physi-
cians from universi ties, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries 
reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.
