1-1. For safe use

1-1.For safe use

Use only floor mats designed specifi-
cally 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 illustra-

tion.

Before driving

Observe the following before start-
ing off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.

Installing floor mats

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause the driver’s

floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with

the pedals while driving. An unexpect-

edly 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 Genu-

ine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the

driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely

using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-

vided.

●

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 retaining hooks (clips). Be

especially careful to perform this

check after cleaning the floor.

●

With the engine <hybrid system>

stopped and the shift position 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 safety and security

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

P.120)

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.120)

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

P.125)

Wear the seat belt correctly.
(

P.25)

Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (

P.25)

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

P.43)

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

P.128, 129)

For safe driving

For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.

Correct driving posture

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 pos-

ture from being achieved, and reduce

the effectiveness 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 mechanism 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 con-

tinue driving and take a break immedi-

ately.

Correct use of the seat belts

Adjusting the mirrors

1-1. For safe use

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.

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 seri-

ous 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, includ-

ing 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 nec-

essary. 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.

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (

P.25)

Women who are pregnant should posi-

tion 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 avoid-

ing 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 colli-

sion.

■

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (

P.25)

■

When children are in the vehicle

P.43

■

Seat belt damage and wear

●

Do not damage the seat belts by allow-

ing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

●

Inspect the seat belt system periodi-

cally. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt

until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts

cannot protect an occupant from

death or serious injury.

1-1. For safe use

For safety and security

 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.

■

Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were princi-

pally 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.43)

●

When the child becomes large enough to

properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-

low the instructions regarding seat belt

usage. (

P.24)

■

Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened

securely because they are not long enough,

a personalized seat belt extender is avail-

able from your Lexus dealer free of charge.

WARNING

●

Ensure that the belt and plate are

locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function cor-

rectly, immediately contact your Lexus

dealer.

●

Replace the seat assembly, including

the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if

there is no obvious damage.

●

Do not attempt to install, remove,

modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs

carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to incor-

rect operation.
