Toyota, Lexus Offer 10 Years of Connected Services on Some Models Some Toyota and Lexus shoppers will be able to get a long-term experience of Safety Connect services, including emergency assistance and roadside assistance.

Available through Toyota or Lexus apps, it comes with emergency assistance services that can be accessed at the push of a button inside the vehicle in the event of a medical emergency or on the road. It also brings improved roadside assistance, an automatic 24-hour collision notification, and a stolen vehicle locator. Meanwhile, it helps manage preventative maintenance with routine maintenance reminders and alerts and vehicle health reports.

Currently, most new Toyota vehicles come with a one-year trial of Safety Connect with the option to subscribe after the trial period ends, along with a 10-year trial of the Service Connect preventative maintenance technology package without a subscription option. Most Lexus vehicles offer their service for three years and the same 10-year trial period for a service delivery service as Toyota. After the trial period ends, vehicle owners can pay $80 per year or $8 per month to subscribe to Safety Connect.

These trial periods are now updated on most 2023 models and some 2022 vehicles with a 10-year trial period for both Safety Connect and Service Connect, plus the option to sign up for both after the trial period ends. Here is the full list:
