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.

assist them in locating and recovering  the vehicle. After filing a police report,

3987) 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

tance required.
