■Services
Subscribers have the following Safety Connect services available:
● 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, contacts the nearest emergency services provider to
describe the
situation, and requests that assistance be sent to the location.
*: U.S. Patent No. 7,508,298 B2
● Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local authorities to
assist them in
locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing a police report, call the
Safety Connect
response center at 1-800-25-LEXUS (1-800-255-3987) and follow the prompts for
Safety Connect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law enforcement with recovery of a stolen vehicle, Safety-Con- nect-equipped vehicle location data may, under certain circumstances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle. Further information is available at Lexus.com.
● Emergency Assistance Button (SOS)
In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to reach the
Safety
Connect response center. The answering agent will determine your vehicle’s
location,
assess the emergency, and dispatch the necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the response-center agent that you are not experiencing an emergency.
● Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced Roadside Assistance adds GPS data to the already included
warranty-based
Lexus roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connect response-center agent, who can help with a wide range of needs, such as: towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc.
