For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, including options. Therefore, you may find explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle and the illustrations used may differ from your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. Over time, your vehicle may receive updates that modify the vehicle and make material in this manual incomplete and/or inaccurate. Because of Lexus’ interest in continual product improvement, Lexus reserves the right to make changes to this manual at any time without notice.
If Lexus chooses to update the manual, updated versions can be viewed by selecting your vehicle by model and year at the following URL or on your mobile device if you have access to the Lexus app.
https://drivers.lexus.com
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine
Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Lexus
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Lexus vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Lexus products. Modification with non-genuine Lexus products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safety equipment such as Lexus Safety System + and there is a danger that it will not work properly or the danger that it may work in situations where it should not be working.
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injec-

6
tion system
Lexus Safety System + 2.5
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated management
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Vehicle data recording
The vehicle is equipped with sophisticated computers that will record certain data, such as: · Engine speed/Electric motor speed
(traction motor speed) · Accelerator status · Brake status · Vehicle speed · Operation status of the driving
assist systems · Images from the front camera (avail-
able only when certain safety systems are activated, which varies depending on the vehicle specifications).
The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record conversations or sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.
Data Transmission

Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers to Lexus without notification to you.
Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
· With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
· In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government agency
· For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
· For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Recorded image information can be erased by your Lexus dealer. The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the function is disabled, data from when the system operates will not be available.
To learn more about the vehicle data collected, used and shared by Lexus, please visit www.lexus.com/privacyvts/.
Usage of data collected through Lexus Enform (U.S.mainland only)
If your Lexus has Lexus Enform and if you have subscribed to those services, please refer to the Lexus Enform Telematics Subscription Service

Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.
To learn more about the vehicle data collected, used and shared by Lexus, please visit www.lexus.com/privacyvts/.
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: · How various systems in your vehicle
were operating; · Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buckled/fastened; · How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, · How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-

7
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:
· An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is obtained
· In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government agency
· For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
· Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
· Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are, this may

8
cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Lexus dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may include the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, wireless remote control batteries, and the batteries in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters.
WARNING
General precautions while driving Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury. Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents. Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.

General precaution regarding children’s safety
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 windows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Before driving

Observe the following before starting off in the vehicle to ensure safety of driving.

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

2 Turn the upper knob of each retaining hook (clip) to secure the floor mats in place.

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 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 retaining hooks (clips). Be especially careful to perform this check after cleaning the floor.

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

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.

For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate position before driving.
Correct driving posture
A 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.102)
B 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.102)
C Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. (P.107)
D Wear the seat belt correctly. (P.24)
WARNING For safe driving Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

1-1. For safe use

23

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

1

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 continue driving and take a break immediately.

Correct use of the seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle. (P.24) Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (P.41)

Adjusting the mirrors
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and outside rear view mirrors properly. (P.110, 112)

For safety and security

24

1-1. For safe use

Seat belts

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

Pregnant women Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P.25)
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.
People suffering illness Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P.25)
When children are in the vehicle
P.48
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 periodically. 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.

WARNING Ensure that the belt and plate are
locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, 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. Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

1-1. For safe use

25

Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (P.41)

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P.24)

Seat belt extender

1

If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.

For safety and security

Correct use of the 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 possible 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 principally designed for persons of adult size.

WARNING Using a seat belt extender 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. Do not wear the seat belt extender if
you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally intended.

26

1-1. For safe use

NOTICE
When using a seat belt extender When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

Fastening and releasing the seat belt

Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front seats)

1 To fasten the seat belt, push the plate into the buckle until a click sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the release button A .
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 a child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (P.41) After the rear center seat belt has been
used Stow the buckle as shown.

1 Push the seat belt shoulder anchor down while pressing the release button A .
2 Push the seat belt shoulder anchor up.
Move the height adjuster up and down as needed until you hear a click.
WARNING
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.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats and outboard rear seats)

WARNING

Seat belt pretensioners

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 seat belt pre-

1

tensioner for the front passenger’s seat

may not activate in the event of a colli-

sion.

The pretensioners help the seat belts to quickly restrain the occupants by retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe frontal or side collision or a vehicle rollover.

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.

The pretensioners do not activate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a minor side impact or a rear impact.

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.
PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) determines that the possibility of a collision with a vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners will be prepared to operate.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases. A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. The windshield may crack. All of the doors will be unlocked. (P.91) The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically. (P.230) The interior lights will turn on automatically. (P.254) The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. (P.320) Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. (P.328) For Lexus Enform Safety Connect subscribers, if any of the following situations occur, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (P.54) · An SRS airbag is deployed. · A seat belt pretensioner is activated.

· The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 – 18 mph [20 – 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations: · If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact · If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate. The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction per-

For safety and security

pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12 – 18 mph [20 30 km/h]). Both SRS curtain shield airbags may deploy in the event of a severe side collision. Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover. Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision. Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface Falling into or jumping over a deep hole Landing hard or falling
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown in the illustration. The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal. The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)

The SRS front airbags do not generally

inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or

rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved

in a low-speed frontal collision. But, when-

ever a collision of any type causes sufficient

forward deceleration of the vehicle, deploy-

ment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger airbag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

When to contact your Lexus dealer In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated. The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

The surface of the seats with the SRS side airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged or deformed, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.

WARNING
SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 – 3 in. (50 – 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
· Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
· Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
· If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

1-1. For safe use

33

The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

If the seat belt extender has been con-

nected to the front seat belt buckles

but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the

1

seat belt, the SRS front airbags will

judge that the driver and front passen-

ger are wearing the seat belt even

though the seat belt has not been con-

nected. In this case, the SRS front air-

bags may not activate correctly in a

collision, resulting in death or serious

injury in the event of a collision. Be

sure to wear the seat belt with the seat

belt extender.

The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front pas-
senger seat. (P.41)

For safety and security

WARNING Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seats toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.

Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.

Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the dashboard, 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 allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.

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.

WARNING 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 airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury. Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags 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 possible 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 cushion, 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 airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision.

WARNING
Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant classification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious 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.

WARNING Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indica-
tor light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect 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 illuminated. 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 passenger 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 passenger 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.

1-1. For safe use

37

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 passen-

ger 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 illumi-

nated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not

1

possible, move the front passenger

seat fully rearward.

When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order.
(P.42)

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 passenger 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.

Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

Do not place anything between the console box and front passenger seat. Otherwise, the system may not detect the front passenger properly, leading to improper operation of the airbags.

Adjust the front passenger seat so that the head restraint does not touch the ceiling. If the head restraint is left in contact with the ceiling, the system may not detect the front passenger properly, leading to improper operation of the airbags.

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 precautions. 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 trunk lid closed. If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-
cle even when the trunk lid is closed, open the windows and have the vehicle 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 on 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.

Child restraint systems

For safety and security

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

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-

1

ods, etc., written in this manual.

It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental 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.93, 115)
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, trunk, seats etc.

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.

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 windows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. as well as Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.

Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regula-

42

1-2. Child safety

tions 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.

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 installation 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 conforms 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 windshield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
Handling the child restraint system If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers 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 possible 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 manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. Keep the child restraint system properly 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 trunk.

When using a child restraint system
When installing a child restraint system to a front passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install child restraint systems to a rear seats. When installing child restraint system to a front passenger seat is unavoidable, adjust the seat as follows and install the child restraint system.

Move the seat fully rearward.
Move the seat height to the upper most position.
Adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child seat and the seatback, adjust the seatback angle until good contact is achieved.
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the head restraint can be removed,

44

1-2. Child safety

remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most position.

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 passenger 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 system may be installed on the front passenger 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 system may be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position, move the seat fully rearward, and move the seat height to the upper most position, even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most position.
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 and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

WARNING 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. Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat. If the driver’s seat interferes with the child restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the right- hand rear seat.

Removing a child restraint system
installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the child restraint system may spring up due to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding down the child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, slowly return it to the stowing position.

4 Sit the child in the child restraint system. Fit the seat belt to the child restraint system according to the manufacturer’s instructions and insert the plate into the buckle. Make sure that the belt is not twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is correctly positioned over the child’s shoulder and that the lap belt is as low as possible. (P.24)

WARNING
When installing a child restraint system
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 injuries 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.

WARNING 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 provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, 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. When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align 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 accident. If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.
When installing a booster seat To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. (P.26)

Safety information for Safety Connect
Important! Read this information about exposure to radio frequency signals before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies.
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992] NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement) Report 86 [1986] ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) [1996] Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. Over

120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to those standards.

Customization The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display. (P.388)

WARNING
The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (P.357)
