●Safety Connect is available beginning Fall
2009 on select Lexus models (in the
contiguous United St ates only). Contact
with the Safety Connect response center
is dependent upon th e telematics device
being in operative condition, cellular con-
nection availability, and GPS satellite sig-
nal reception, which ca n limit the ability to
reach the response center or receive
emergency service support. Enrollment
and Telematics Subscription Service
Agreement required. A variety of sub-
scription terms is available; charges vary
by subscription term selected and loca-
tion.
●Automatic Collision Notification, Emer-
gency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle
Location will function in the United
States, including Hawaii and Alaska,
Puerto Rico and in Canada, and
Enhanced Roadside Assistance will func-
tion in the United States, Puerto Rico and
in Canada.
●Automatic Collision Notification, Emer-
gency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle and
Enhanced Road Assistance will not func-
tion in the United States Virgin Islands.
For vehicles first sold in the USVI, no
Safety Connect services will function in
and outside the United States Virgin
Islands.
●Safety Connect services are not subject
to section 255 of the Telecommunica-
tions Act and the device is not TTY com-
patible.
■Languages
The Safety Connect re sponse center will
offer support in mult iple languages. The
Safety Connect system will offer voice
prompts in English, Spanish, and French.
Please indicate your language of choice
when enrolling.
■When contacting the response center
You may be unable to contact the response
center if the network is busy.
When the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode, the red indica-
tor light comes on for 2 seconds then
turns off. Afterward, the green indica-
tor light comes on, indicating that the
service is active.
The following indicator light patterns
indicate specific system usage condi-
tions:
 Green indicator light on = Active
service
 Green indicator light flashing =
Safety Connect call in process
 Red indicator light (except at vehi-
cle 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
response center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and
attempts to speak with the vehicle
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to
communicate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the
Safety Connect LED light Indi-
cators

Before driving
Power back door
The power back door can be
opened using the power back door
opener switch, smart access system
with push-button start or wireless
remote control.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■Before driving the vehicle
Before driving the vehicle, make sure
that the power back door is fully closed. If
the power back door is not fully closed, it
may open unexpectedly while driving,
causing an accident.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the power back door closed
while driving.
If the power back door is left open, it may
hit nearby objects while driving or lug-
gage may be unexpectedly thrown out,
causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the
vehicle, causing death or a serious health
hazard. Make sure to close the power
back door before driving.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage
compartment. In the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or a colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or
serious injury.
■When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play in the lug-
gage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the lug-
gage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close
the power back door.
Doing so may cause the power back
door to move unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, arms, head, or neck to be
caught by the closing power back door.
■Operating the power back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the
body to be caught, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow
and ice, from the power back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may
cause the power back door to sud-
denly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the power
back door, thoroughly check to make
sure the surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the power back door is about to open
or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing
the power back door in windy weather
as it may move abruptly in strong wind.
●The power back door may suddenly
shut if it is not open ed fully. It is more
difficult to open or close the back door
on an incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the back door unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
