■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.48)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
■Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.

plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud- den 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.
The front seats are equipped with
guides to allow the seat belts to be
extended easily. When it is difficult to
extend the seat belt, pass the seat belt
through the guide.
When getting into or out of a rear seat,
release the seat belt from the guide.

1-1. For safe use
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever.
Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has operated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-ing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have
it replaced by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the speci-fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-vent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys- tem from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height may prevent the system from operat-ing properly.

1-2. Child safety
For safety and security
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys- tem
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be used,
the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause serious
injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off sys- tem is set to “ON”.If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in
the event of an accident, which may result in serious injury or even death.
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 window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.
( P.152)
 Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, 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 windows or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

When installing a forward-facing
child seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until good
contact is achieved.
 If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt guide,
move the seat cushion forward.
 When installing a junior seat, if the
child in your child restraint system is
in a very upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most comfort-
able position. And if the seat belt
shoulder anchor is ahead of the
child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
■Installing child restraint system
using a seat belt
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.

tem to the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, refer to P.51 for front
passenger seat adjustment.
2 If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head
restraint in the upper most position.

Lower anchors are provided for the
each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the
location of the anchors are attached to
the seats.)
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 junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-tioned 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.

1-3. Hybrid system
There are air intake vents under the
rear seats for the purpose of cooling
the hybrid battery (traction battery). If
the vents become blocked, the hybrid
battery input and output may be
restricted, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery (traction battery) out-
put.
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 any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
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
NOTICE

NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vents
●Make sure not to block the air intake vents 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.
●When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vents, periodically clean
them with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the vents from clogging.
●Filters are installed to the air intake vents. When the filters remain notice-
ably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vents, filter cleaning or replace-ment is recommended. When clean-
ing or replacing the filters, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Refer to P.309 for details on how to clean the filters.
●Do not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vents as this may cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
