 Prioritize and observe the warnings,
as well as the laws and regulations
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 eno ugh 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.107, 132)
 Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
QWhen 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 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.

OWhen 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.
OUse child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
OIf 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.

QChild restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard rear seat. (Marks displaying
the location of the anchors are
attached to the seats.)
WARNING
QWhen installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
ODo 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.
OEnsure that the belt and plate are
securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
OShake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
OAfter securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
OWhen 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.
OFollow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
OWhen 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.
QWhen 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 co uld cause injury or
discomfort to the child. ( P.26)
QDo 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.

641-4. Hybrid system
There is an air intake vent under the
rear seat (right side) for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (traction
battery). If the vent becomes blocked,
WARNING
OFor vehicles sold in Canada: If a fluid
leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it
may be strong alkaline electrolyte
from the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery). If it comes into contact with your
skin or eyes, wash it off immediately
with a large amount of water or, if pos-
sible, boric acid solution. Seek imme-
diate medical attention.
OFor vehicles sold in except Canada:
Do not touch the battery if liquid is
leaking from or adhering to it. If elec-
trolyte (carbonic-based organic elec-
trolyte) from the hybrid battery
(traction battery) comes into contact
with the eyes or skin, it could cause
blindness or skin wounds. In the
unlikely event that it comes into con-
tact with the eyes or skin, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of
water, and seek immediate medical
attention.
OFor vehicles sold in except Canada: If
electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid
battery (traction battery), do not
approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
damaged, the internal construction of
the battery will prevent a large amount
of electrolyte from leaking out. How-
ever, any electrolyte that does leak out
will give off a vapor. This vapor is an
irritant to skin and eyes and could
cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
OFor vehicles sold in except Canada:
Do not bring burning or high-tem-
perature items close to the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and cause a
fire.
QHybrid battery (traction battery)
OFor vehicles sold in except Canada:
Your vehicle contains a sealed lithium-
ion battery.
ONever resell, hand over or modify the
hybrid battery. To prevent accidents,
hybrid batteries that have been
removed from a disposed vehicle are
collected through Lexus dealer. Do
not dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly col-
lected, the following may occur, result-
ing in death or serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally dis- posed of or dumped, and it is hazard-
ous to the environment or someone
may touch a high voltage part, result-
ing in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your hybrid vehi-
cle. If the hybrid battery is used outside
of your vehicle or modified in any way,
accidents such as electric shock, heat
generation, smoke generation, an
explosion and electrolyte leakage may
occur.
When reselling or handing over your
vehicle, the possibility of an accident is
extremely high because the person
receiving the vehicle may not be aware
of these dangers.
OIf your vehicle is disposed of without
the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious
electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are
touched. In the event that your vehicle
must be disposed of, the hybrid battery
must be disposed of by your Lexus
dealer or a qualified service shop. If the
hybrid battery is not disposed of prop-
erly, it may cause electric shock that
can result in death or serious injury.

For safety and security
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
may overheat, leading to a reduction in
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
output.When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the
high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the hybrid
system, contact your Lexus dealer.
A message is automatically displayed
when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
NOTICE
QHybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake vent
OMake sure not to block the air intake
vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the
vents become blocked, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) input and output
may be restricted, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery (traction battery)
output and a malfunction.
OWhen dust etc. has accumulated in the
air intake vent, periodically clean it
with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the
vent from clogging.
ODo not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vent as this may cause
a short circuit and damage the hybrid
battery (traction battery).
ODo not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
OThere is a filter installed to the air
intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the
air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For
information regarding filter cleaning or
replacement, refer to P.343.
OIf “Maintenance required for Traction
battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, the air intake vent and
filter may be clogged. Refer to P.343
for information on how to clean the air
