| has gloss | eng: Safety Connect is a subscription-based telematics system introduced by Toyota Motor Corporation in 2009 for its Toyota-branded and Lexus models. The system provides communications, roadside assistance, car safety, remote diagnostics, and other services. Unlike the earlier Lexus Link service offered on Lexus models, the Safety Connect system is proprietary and not licensed from GM's OnStar service. Safety Connect began to be offered on vehicles in the summer of 2009. For Toyota vehicles, the Safety Connect service is offered including the aforementioned features, while Lexus models receive the Lexus Enform telematics system with Safety Connect, adding hands free calling, turn-by-turn navigation, and concierge services. Vehicles equipped with Safety Connect come with a one-year subscription included at purchase, which can then be renewed annually. Following its offering in the U.S., the telematics service will also be available in Brazil and China. |
