AUTOMATIC COLLISION NOTIFICATION
In the event that your vehicle’s airbags deploy or you’re involved in a severe
rear collision, the system is designed to automatically connect you to a
Lexus Safety Connect response center agent. After attempting to speak to
the occupants, the agent will notify local emergency services of the situation
and direct them to your vehicle’s location.
COLLISION ASSISTANCE
If you are involved in an accident or your vehicle experiences damage
from a collision, once the need for emergency assistance has been
addressed, Collision Assistance can be launched via the Document
Collision tile on the Dashboard of your Lexus App. The Lexus App can
guide you through the collision documentation, insurance submission,
and repair service lookup features.
Whether you’re involved in an accident, your vehicle is stolen, or the unexpected
occurs, assistance can be sent directly to your vehicle’s GPS location. An available
Safety Connect subscription provides you with the following helpful features. Activate
your included Safety Connect trial to experience these great features.
STOLEN VEHICLE LOCATION
Once a police report is filed, the Safety Connect Response Center works
with police to help track and recover your stolen vehicle using Safety
Connect’s embedded cellular and GPS technology. You may also contact
the Response Center directly at 1-800-25LEXUS. This may help to
recover your vehicle more quickly, minimizing the amount of damage
incurred. The Stolen Vehicle Location system works throughout the
continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
ENHANCED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
With the added benefit of GPS technology, Lexus Roadside Assistance
makes standard roadside service even more convenient than other
services on the market. Whether your vehicle has run out of gas, has a
flat tire, needs to be towed or requires a jumpstart, assistance can be sent
to your vehicle’s location—all at the press of the Emergency Assistance
button (SOS).
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE BUTTON (SOS)
Whether you experience a health emergency, a trac accident or another
urgent situation where help is required, a single press of the Emergency
Assistance Button (SOS) will connect you to a 24-hour Safety Connect
response center agent. Using your vehicle’s GPS technology, the agent
can send roadside assistance or emergency services to your vehicle’s
location while remaining on the call with you until help arrives
