■Automatic Collision Notification
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call the Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP).* 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 auto-
matically treats the call as an emer gency, contacts the nearest emergency
services provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be
sent to the location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made.( P. 580)
■Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency, push the “SOS” button to reach the Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The 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 agent that you are not experi-
encing an emergency.
When the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the red indicator
light will illuminate for 10 seconds and then the green indicator light will illumi-
nate for 2 seconds, indicating that the syst em is enabled. The indicator lights indi-
cate the following:
●If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is enabled.
●If the green indicator light flashes, an emergency call is being made (either
automatically or manually).
●If no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
●If the red indicator light illuminates any time other than immediately after the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the system may be malfunc-
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted. Contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●Any of the followings may occur. In such cases, report to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• It may sometimes be difficult to connect to the public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) even in the reception area of the cellular phone due to the reception level,or if the line is busy. In such cases, you may not be able to connect to the Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and thus w ill not be able to make emergency calls and report to the emergency departments even though the system tries to con-nect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, the Emergency Call cannot be made.• When any related equipment (such as th e “SOS” button panel, indicator lights,
microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment.) has an abnormality, is damaged or broken, the Emergency Call cannot be made.• During the Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts to connect to
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). However, if it cannot connect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) due to poor radio wave reception, the sys- tem may not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish with-
out connecting. The red indicator light w ill blink for approximately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.
●If the battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system may not be able to access the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many maintenance items are easy to do your self if you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools.

authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes- sional. Any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer will keep a record of maintenance,which could be useful should you ever require Warranty Service. Should you choose
to select a qualified and equipped professional other than an authorized Lexus repairer to service or maintain your vehi cle, we recommend that you request that a
record of maintenance be kept.
