1-1. For safe use

WARNING

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seats toward the door or

put their head or hands outside the

vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or lean any-

thing against areas such as the dash-

board, steering wheel pad and lower

portion of the instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver, front passenger

and knee airbags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas such

as a door, windshield, side windows,

front or rear pillar, roof side rail and

assist grip.

●

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard objects on the coat hooks. All of

these items could become projectiles

and may cause death or serious injury,

should the SRS curtain shield airbags

deploy.

●

If a vinyl cover is put on the area where

the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be

sure to remove it.

●

Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the SRS side air-

bags and SRS seat cushion airbags (if

equipped) inflate as they may interfere

with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the SRS side

airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags

(if equipped) from activating cor-

rectly, disable the system or cause the

SRS side airbags and SRS seat cushion

airbags (if equipped) to inflate acci-

dentally, resulting in death or serious

injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant levels

of force to the area of the SRS airbag

components or the front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to

malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the component

parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they

may be hot.

●

If breathing becomes difficult after the

SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or

leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.

Wash off any residue as soon as possi-

ble to prevent skin irritation.

●

If the areas where the SRS airbags are

stored, such as the steering wheel pad

and front and rear pillar garnishes, are

damaged or cracked, have them

replaced by your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not place anything, such as a cush-

ion, on the front passenger’s seat.

Doing so will disperse the passenger’s

weight, which prevents the sensor

from detecting the passenger’s weight

properly. As a result, the SRS front air-

bags for the front passenger may not

deploy in the event of a collision.

WARNING

■

Front passenger occupant classifica-

tion system precautions

Observe the following precautions

regarding the front passenger occupant

classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Wear the seat belt properly.

●

Make sure the front passenger’s seat

belt plate has not been left inserted

into the buckle before someone sits in

the front passenger seat.

●

Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is not illuminated when

using the seat belt extender for the

front passenger seat. If the “AIR BAG

OFF” indicator light is illuminated, dis-

connect the extender tongue from the

seat belt buckle, and reconnect the

seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt

extender after making sure the “AIR

BAG ON” indicator light is illumi-

nated.

If you use the seat belt extender while

the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is

illuminated, the SRS airbags for the

front passenger will not activate, which

could cause death or serious injury in

the event of a collision.

●

Do not apply a heavy load to the front

passenger seat or equipment (e.g.

seatback pocket).

●

Do not put weight on the front passen-

ger seat by putting your hands or feet

on the front passenger seat seatback

from the rear passenger seat.

●

Do not let a rear passenger lift the

front passenger seat with their feet or

press on the seatback with their legs.

●

Do not put objects under the front pas-

senger seat.

●

Do not recline the front passenger

seatback so far that it touches a rear

seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG

OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,

which indicates that the SRS airbags

for the front passenger will not activate

in the event of a severe accident. If the

seatback touches the rear seat, return

the seatback to a position where it

does not touch the rear seat. Keep the

front passenger seatback as upright as

possible when the vehicle is moving.

Reclining the seatback excessively

may lessen the effectiveness of the

seat belt system.

●

If an adult sits in the front passenger

seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator

light is illuminated. If the “AIR BAG

OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the

passenger to sit up straight, well back

in the seat, feet on the floor, and with

the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIR

BAG OFF” indicator still remains illu-

minated, either ask the passenger to

move to the rear seat, or if that is not

possible, move the front passenger

seat fully rearward.

●

When it is unavoidable to install a for-

ward-facing child restraint system on

the front passenger seat, install the

child restraint system on the front pas-

senger seat in the proper order.

(



P.50)

●

Do not modify or remove the front

seats.

●

Do not kick the front passenger seat or

subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,

the SRS warning light may come on to

indicate a malfunction of the front pas-

senger occupant classification system.

In this case, contact your Lexus dealer

immediately.

●

Child restraint systems installed on the

rear seat should not contact the front

seatbacks.

●

Do not use a seat accessory, such as a

cushion and seat cover, that covers the

seat cushion surface.

There is a malfunction in the system

: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the

front passenger seat, the system may not recognize him/her as an adult depending on
his/her physique and posture.

: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.

: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.

: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the sys-

tem may not recognize him/her as a child. Factors which may affect this can be the phy-
sique or posture.

: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-

facing child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when it
is unavoidable. (

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon

monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases

enter the vehicle and may lead to an

accident caused by light-headedness, or

may lead to death or a serious health

hazard.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the back door closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-

cle even when the back door is closed,

open the windows and have the vehi-

cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as

soon as possible.

■

When parking

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated

area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the

engine running for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided,

park the vehicle in an open space and

ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter

the vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the engine running in an

area with snow build-up, or where it is

snowing. If snowbanks build up around

the vehicle while the engine is running,

exhaust gases may collect and enter

the vehicle.

■

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked

periodically. If there is a hole or crack

caused by corrosion, damage to a joint

or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to

have the vehicle inspected and repaired

by your Lexus dealer.

Riding with children

Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.



It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch etc.



Use the rear door child-protector
lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door
while driving or operating the
power window accidentally.
(



P.102, 155)



Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.

WARNING

■

When children are in the vehicle

Never leave children unattended in the

vehicle, and never allow children to have

or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle

or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is

also a danger that children may injure

themselves by playing with the side win-

dows, the moon roof or other features of

the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or

extremely cold temperatures inside the

vehicle can be fatal to children.

Child restraint systems

Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.

Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child
restraint system to a rear seat. Be
sure to follow the installation method
that is in the operation manual
enclosed with the restraint system.

Points to remember

1-2. Child safety

for child restraint systems.



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



Choose a child restraint system that
suits your vehicle and is appropriate
to the age and size of the child.

■

Types of child restraint system installation methods

Confirm with the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system about
the installation of the child restraint system.

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

For effective protection in automobile

accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a

seat belt or child restraint system

which is correctly installed. For instal-

lation details, refer to the operation

manual enclosed with the child

restraint system. General installation

instruction is provided in this manual.

●

Lexus strongly urges the use of a

proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the weight and size of the

child, installed on the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, the

child is safer when properly restrained

in the rear seat than in the front seat.

●

Holding a child in your or someone

else’s arms is not a substitute for a child

restraint system. In an accident, the

child can be crushed against the wind-

shield or between the holder and the

interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint system

If the child restraint system is not prop-

erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-

sengers may be seriously injured or even

killed in the event of sudden braking,

sudden swerving, or an accident.

●

If the vehicle were to receive a strong

impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-

sible that the child restraint system has

damage that is not readily visible. In

such cases, do not reuse the restraint

system.

●

Make sure you have complied with all

installation instructions provided with

the child restraint system manufac-

turer and that the system is properly

secured.

●

Keep the child restraint system prop-

erly secured on the seat even if it is not

in use. Do not store the child restraint

system unsecured in the passenger

compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the child

restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the lug-

gage compartment.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint system on the front passen-

ger seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated. In the

event of an accident, the force of the

rapid inflation of the front passenger

airbag can cause death or serious

injury to the child if the rear-facing

child restraint system is installed on the

front passenger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint sys-

tem may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is

unavoidable. A child restraint system

that requires a top tether strap should

not be used in the front passenger seat

since there is no top tether strap

anchor for the front passenger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint sys-

tem may be installed on the front pas-

senger seat only when it is

unavoidable. When installing a for-

ward-facing child restraint system on

the front passenger seat, adjust the

seatback angle to the most upright

position, move the seat to the rearmost

position, even if the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated.

If the head restraint interferes with the

child restraint system installation and

the head restraint can be removed,

remove the head restraint.

●

Do not allow the child to lean his/her

head or any part of his/her body

against the door or the area of the seat,

front or rear pillars, or roof side rails

from which the SRS side airbags or

SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even

if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the

SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-

bags inflate, and the impact could

cause death or serious injury to the

child.

●

When a booster seat is installed,

always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the

child’s shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck, but

not so that it could fall off the child’s

shoulder.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and security

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt.

child restraint system and prevents it

from being attached correctly, attach

the child restraint system to the right-

hand rear seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

●

5-passenger and 7-passenger mod-

els: When installing a child restraint

system on the second center seat,

adjust both seat cushions to the same

position and align both seatbacks at

the same angle. The seatbacks must be

adjusted to the same angle. Other-

wise, the child restraint system cannot

be securely restrained and this may

cause death or serious injuries in the

event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

slowly return it to the stowing position.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint sys-

tem

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

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 inju-

ries that could result in death.

If this occurs and the buckle cannot be

unfastened, scissors should be used to

cut the belt.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate are

securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

●

Shake the child restraint system left

and right, and forward and backward

to ensure that it has been securely

installed.

●

After securing a child restraint system,

never adjust the seat.

●

When a booster seat is installed,

always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the

child’s shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck, but

not so that it could fall off the child’s

shoulder.

●

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

●

When securing some types of child

restraint systems in second seats or

the third seas (if equipped), it may not

be possible to properly use the seat

belts in positions next to the child

restraint without interfering with it or

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be

sure your seat belt fits snugly across

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it

does not, or if it interferes with the

child restraint, move to a different

position. Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

WARNING

●

When installing a child restraint sys-

tem in the second center seat (if

equipped), adjust both seatbacks at

the same angle. Otherwise, the child

restraint system cannot be securely

restrained and this may cause death or

serious injuries in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an acci-

dent.

■

When installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR

lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-

der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to

tighten only. This could cause injury or

discomfort to the child. (

P.30)

■

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when

installing a child restraint system, the seat

belt will not securely hold the child

restraint system, which could cause

death or serious injury to the child or

other passengers in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
