■The rear sunshade can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Reverse operation feature
This function will become operational when the rear sunshade is in the raised posi-
tion and the vehicle has been driven at 9 mph (15 km/h) or more or with the shift
lever in P.
To ensure adequate rear visibility, the sunshade automatically lowers when the shift
lever is shifted to “R” and the function is in an operational condition.
However, the rear sunshade is raised again if any of the following occurs:
●Shift the shift lever into “P”.
●The shift lever is shifted out of “R”, and the vehicle reaches a speed of 9 mph
(15 km/h).
●The switch is pressed again.*
*
: Occasionally, the reverse function may not be carried out after the switch has
been pressed. Repeat the above operation to operate the function.
If the engine is turned off when the rear sunshade has been lowered due to the
reverse operation feature, it will not be raised even when the engine is turned on
again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 9 mph (15 km/h). To raise the sunshade
again, press the switch.
■After the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to OFF
The rear sunshade can be raised and lowered for approximately 1 minute.
■Customization that can be configured at Lexus dealer
Time elapsed before the reverse operation feature activates can be changed.

Safety Connect services
■Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe 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 emergency. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, 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 loca-
tion.

Safety information for Safety Connect
Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect to be 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 Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards pre-
viously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies.
●ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
●NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
●ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evalua-
tions of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers,
and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and
industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the
ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.
