LEXUS GS450h HAS DATA DOT IDENTIFICATION
Lexus GS450h comes equipped with an additional security measure.All GS450h models sold in Australia have their vehicle identification numbers printed on 5000 Data Dot micro identification dots in strategic locations around the vehicle.
Data Dot identification security system is available for all vehicles across the Lexus range.
Lexus Australia divisional manager Scott Grant said the Data Dot system would act as a significant theft deterrent and reduce insurance premiums for owners.
"All Lexus vehicles carry a decal in the rear quarter window, stating that the vehicle has Data Dots, to deter thieves," said Mr Grant.
"The police and the roads and traffic authorities in the various States have magnifying readers, allowing them to match stolen components to the source vehicle."
The Data Dot system consists of micro dots the size of a grain of sand, made from a high-tech polyester substrate and suspended in a clear drying adhesive with a UV trace.
This means they are invisible to the naked eye until exposed to ultraviolet light.
The dots are laser-etched with the vehicle identification number, then applied to the vehicle using a unique, patented spray process.
The GS450h, now available in Australian showrooms, has created a synergy between fuel economy, low emissions, quietness and high performance.
The inclusion of Data Dot identification provides an additional security measure for new owners of the Hybrid performance vehicle.
The recommended retail price of GS450h is $121,990*.
*Recommended retail price excludes dealer delivery, government and statutory charges and optional extras.
