Delphi and Toyota Link Up to Offer Telematics System on Lexus Luxury Sedan

    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 Delphi Automotive Systems
announced an agreement to provide telematics units for the Lexus LS 430 at the
2001 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.  Delphi showcased a
Lexus LS 430 luxury sedan equipped with the Lexus Link at the show.

    Delphi's telematics modules provide two-way voice and data communications
exchanges between the Lexus LS 430 and the Lexus Link call center.  Delphi's
telematics module integrates a global positioning satellite receiver, cell
phone and digital signal processor.  The module enables the driver to
communicate with the call center using hands free operation.
    Delphi's telematics hardware in the Lexus LS 430 provide drivers with
unique services such as:

    * recordable memo -- This feature allows the driver or passengers to
      record a 5-minute personal message for replay; this feature also allows
      map directions from the call center to be recorded for playback while
      driving.

    * automatic theft notification -- A silent signal is sent to the call
      center for vehicle tracking if an unidentifiable driver enters the car.

    * diagnostic mode -- The driver is notified if there is a problem and the
      vehicle should be taken to a dealer for service.

    * back-up battery -- This feature allows an emergency call to be made to
      the call center even if  the car's battery is damaged or disconnected in
      an accident.

    Additional telematics services include:

    * lock/unlock vehicle -- If the keys are locked in the vehicle or if the
      car is unlocked, the call center can be contacted by phone and the
      service will lock or unlock the vehicle.

    * vehicle crash notification (automatic) -- When the front airbags deploy,
      an automatic call is placed to the call center providing vehicle
      information including global positioning satellite (GPS) location and
      vehicle owner.

    * manual emergency calling -- During an emergency, the driver can press
      the emergency button that contacts the call center.  Emergency calls
      receive a higher priority by the advisors.

    * roadside assistance -- After pressing the service button, a service call
      is placed to the call center that provides vehicle location and driver
      data.  This information helps the tow truck driver find the stranded car
      owner.

    * concierge services -- These services include hotel and restaurant
      reservations, directions, ordering flowers and event tickets and many
      other services.

    Delphi's telematics systems can be tailored to meet the specific design
requirements of any number of vehicle manufacturers.
    Market studies indicate that 90 percent of all luxury vehicles will have
telematics capability by mid-decade, emphasizing the importance of this
rapidly growing market.
    "The flexibility offered by Delphi's telematics system allows a number of
original equipment manufacturers to make these features available in their
vehicles," said Robert W. Schumacher, Delphi's general director of Mobile
MultiMedia.  "Delphi is positioned as the market leader to supply telematics
systems to consumers worldwide."
