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.138)
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.138)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.143)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.29)
Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. ( P.31)
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.48)
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.
A
B
C
D
●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.

Adjusting the mirrorsSeat 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.

■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.
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 .
■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.

Front impact sensors
Side impact sensors (door)
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag sys-
tem is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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 (infla-
tion) 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 front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several mi nutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS: If the
SRS airbags deploy, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), 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.299)*: In some cases, the call cannot be made.
( P.300)
■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 corre- sponding to an approximately 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions: • 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 preten-sioners will activate.
■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 thresh old level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction per- pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 -
18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side colli- sion.
●For Russia and Kazakhstan: Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
■Conditions under which the SRS air- bags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious

sion, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed side or low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
For Russia and Kazakhstan: The SRS curtain shield airbags do not ge nerally inflate if the
vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or low-speed frontal colli-
sion.
●Collision from the rear
●Pitching end over end
■When to contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involv ed in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged, deformed or has had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.

WARNING
●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.48)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
●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 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 pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehi-cle.
●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.
