FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS (Lexus Enform Remote)
| Component | Function | |
|---|---|---|
| DCM (Telematics Transceiver) | | |
| Telephone and GPS Antenna (Roof Antenna Assembly) | Telephone Antenna (Main) | Transmits signals from the DCM (telematics transceiver) and receives signals from the service center. (Connect as main) |
| GPS Antenna | Receives signals from GPS satellites and transmits these signals to the DCM (telematics transceiver). | |
| Telephone Antenna (Navigation Antenna Assembly) | Telephone Antenna (Sub) | Receives signals from the service center. (Connect as sub) |
| Certification ECU (Smart key ECU assembly) | Receives the remote engine start signal from the user's smartphone or electrical key transmitter sub-assembly via the DCM (telematics transceiver) and initiates the engine start operation. | |
| Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly |
| |
| Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU) | Locks the door when a remote door lock and unlock operation signal is received. | |
FUNCTION (Lexus Enform Remote)
(a) The main services of Lexus Enform Remote are as follows:
| Category | Remote Service | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Information | Vehicle Status Report | Allows the vehicle status (doors open/closed, etc.) and vehicle information (distance traveled, etc.) to be checked from a remote location via a smartphone, after the power switch has been turned off. By updating the information, the latest vehicle status can be displayed.*1 |
| Remote Notification | Guest Driver Monitor |
|
| Vehicle Status Alerts | Sends a notification to the user if certain operations are not performed within a certain amount of time after the power switch is turned off, such as locking the doors, closing the windows, etc.*2,*4 | |
| Remote Operation | Remote Engine Start and Stop |
|
| Remote Door Lock and Unlock | Allows the doors to be locked/unlocked from a remote location via a smartphone.*6 |
- *1: If the latest vehicle information has not been sent from the vehicle due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the most recently received information will be displayed.
- *2: No notifications will be sent if the latest vehicle information has not been sent from the vehicle due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area). Notifications may be delayed if the smartphone has poor reception.
- *3: Only one notification per set condition will be sent during a single trip.
- *4: If the smart access system with push-button start has been canceled, vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent to the user. If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is inside the vehicle or detected as being "inside cabin", vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent.
- *5: If the vehicle cannot receive the remote engine start signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the hybrid control system will not be started remotely. Additionally, the remote engine stop operation signal may not be received depending on vehicle conditions.
- *6: If the vehicle cannot receive a door lock/unlock signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the door lock or unlock operation will not be performed. After a door unlock operation is performed, if the doors are not opened within a certain amount of time, the doors will automatically be locked.
OUTLINE (Lexus Enform Diagnostics)
(a) When a warning is generated due to a vehicle malfunction, the DCM (telematics transceiver) receives warning information from the combination meter assembly and sends a warning notification to the service center. The radio receiver assembly also receives the warning information sent by the combination meter assembly and displays a message in the multi-display assembly according to the malfunction.

| Telephone Antenna (Navigation Antenna Assembly) | Telephone Antenna (Sub) | Receives signals from the service center. (Connect as sub) |
| Combination Meter Assembly | Receives malfunction signals from various ECUs and sends warning information to the DCM (telematics transceiver) and radio receiver assembly. | |
| Radio Receiver Assembly | Receives warning information sent by the combination meter assembly and displays a message in the multi-display assembly according to the malfunction. | |
