Before driving

Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same model and
model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place onto the carpet.

Insert the retaining hooks (clips) into
the floor mat eyelets.

Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.

*

: Always align the 

 marks.

The shape of the retaining hooks (clips) may differ from that shown in the illustration.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions. 

Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the ped-

als while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may become difficult to

stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When installing the driver’s floor mat 

●

Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,

even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in

the correct place with all the provided retain-

ing hooks (clips). Be especially careful to per-

form this check after cleaning the floor.

●

With the engine stopped and the shift lever in

P, fully depress each pedal to the floor to

make sure it does not interfere with the floor

mat.

1-1. For safe use

For safe driving

Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and so
that you do not have to lean forward
to steer. (

→P. 158)

Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the elbow
when gripping the steering wheel.
(

→P. 158)

GS350/GS300: Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of your ears. (

→P. 165)

Wear the seat belt correctly. (

→P. 36)

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the vehi-
cle. (

→P. 36)

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (

→P. 59)

Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and outside
rear view mirrors properly. (

→P. 169, 171)

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effec-

tiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the front seats.

Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop

the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident and the adjustment mech-

anism may also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.

●

When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to continue driving

and take a break immediately.

Seat belts

●

Extend the shoulder belt so that it
comes fully over the shoulder, but
does not come into contact with the
neck or slide off the shoulder.

●

Position the lap belt as low as possi-
ble over the hips.

●

Adjust the position of the seatback.
Sit up straight and well back in the
seat.

●

Do not twist the seat belt.

To fasten the seat belt, push the plate
into the buckle until a click sound is
heard. 
To release the seat belt, press the
release button.

Push the seat belt shoulder anchor
down while pressing the release but-
ton.
Push the seat belt shoulder anchor
up.

Move the height adjuster up and down

as needed until you hear a click.

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle.

For safety 

and security

For children or smaller-than-average
people, slide the seat belt comfort
guide forward so that the shoulder belt
does not sit close to the person’s neck.

The pretensioner helps the seat belt to
quickly restrain the occupant by
retracting the seat belt when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision.

The front seat pretensioners also acti-

vate when the vehicle is subjected to

certain types of severe side collision.

The pretensioner does not activate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a minor side

impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.

■

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you

lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can

move around fully. 

■

Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even

slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to

hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt

and then pull the belt out once more. (

→P. 63)

■

Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size. 

●

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large

enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (

→P. 59)

●

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow

the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (

→P. 36)

■

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first

collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

■

Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely

because they are not long enough, a personal-

ized seat belt extender is available from your

Lexus dealer free of charge.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt properly.

●

Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more

than one person at once, including children.

●

Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt

and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●

To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The

seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in

the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

WARNING

■

Pregnant women

■

People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (

→P. 36)

■

When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around

a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the

belt.

■

Seat belt pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.

Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detect-

ing the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the

front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of a collision.

●

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the

seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder.

The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to

do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or serious

injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. (

→P. 36)

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt

in the proper way. (

→P. 36)

Women who are pregnant should position the

lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the

same manner as other occupants, extending

the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder

and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of

the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the

pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer

death or serious injury as a result of sudden

braking or a collision.
