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 location.

Safety Connect to initiate this service.

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.

Lexus roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connect response-center
