Lexus Link

The available Lexus Link system combines Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) and digital cellular-phone technology to connect the customer with trained Lexus Link advisors at any time. Purchasing the Lexus Link option includes a one-year subscription to the Safety Plan, featuring airbag deployment notification. In the event that an airbag is deployed, an emergency call is automatically placed to the Lexus Link Call Center. In addition, occupants can place an emergency call to the call center by pressing the button on the overhead console.

Lexus Link advisors can contact emergency service or roadside assistance providers and offer accident assistance information. Advisors can provide additional services, including stolen vehicle location assistance and remotely locking or unlocking doors. The customer can build on the Lexus Link package by adding the Directions Plan, which provides route support, ride assist (taxi, limousine or other transportation) and other information and convenience services.

The top-tier Concierge Plan adds a number of useful services to turn Lexus Link into a personal assistant. The Personal Calling option is a hands-free, voice-activated calling service that enables customers to make and receive calls in the vehicle. Customers can purchase prepaid packages of calling minutes to fit their needs.


Luxury Through Technology and Convenience

Standard Lexus LX 470 equipment includes a leather-trimmed interior, a power moonroof with one-touch control, power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with integrated audio controls, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and rear-seat audio. The front seats feature integral armrests, and the front seat cushions are height-adjustable at the front and rear for optimal comfort.

Advanced electronics enhance on-board entertainment and convenience but without adding to driver distraction. The standard DVD-based Lexus Navigation System includes voice command for ease of use, and its seven-inch display screen can show DVD movies when the transmission selector is in "park" and the parking brake is set.

Bluetooth wireless technology allows the transfer of personal phone books to the navigation system, from which the driver can make hands-free phone calls via its touch-screen control panel. The driver can answer and end calls, as well as adjust call volume, using steering wheel controls.


Home Entertainment on the Road

The standard Mark Levinson Premium Audio System in Lexus LX 470 is built around a discrete amplifier design with 240-watts continuous average power at .01 percent total harmonic distortion (20-20,000 Hz). The 11-speaker system includes a rear-cargo-area subwoofer and plays both audio CDs and DVDs. The optional Rear Seat Entertainment System plays DVDs over a 6.5-inch wide-format overhead screen that deploys from the headliner ahead of the second seat row. The option includes two sets of wireless headphones and a remote control.

The standard security system incorporates an immobilizer into the key card and uses a free-wheel key cylinder in the doors. This feature protects against someone using the wrong key or trying to break the lock by inserting a screwdriver or other tool into the cylinder by not allowing the door to open. A Lexus dealer can set customized preferences for several of the vehicle's electronic conveniences with programmable Lexus Personalized Settings.
