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.110)
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.110)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.116)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.25) Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (
P.25)
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.46)
Make sure that you can see backward
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly.
( P.118, 119)
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and

Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

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.

■When adjusting the seat
●Make sure that any surrounding passen-
gers or objects are not contact the seat.
●Take care when adjusting the seat so that
the head restraint does not touch the ceil-
ing.
■Seat-linked function
This function operates when the seat is
moved forward, backward or in the reclin-
ing direction a certain distance or more.
■Power easy access system
The driver’s seat and steering wheel move
in accordance with engine switch mode and
the driver’s seat belt condition. ( P.112)
■Before entering/exiting the rear
seats
 Remove the seat belt from the seat
belt guide. ( P.26)
 Stow the sun visor.
Front seats
The seats can be adjusted (longitu-
dinally, vertically, etc.). Adjust the
seat to ensure the correct driving
posture.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat
position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving
seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat
or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become
jammed in the seat mechanism.
●Make sure to leave enough space
around the feet so they do not get
stuck.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap
belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too rec lined, the lap belt may
slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your
neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while
driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle.

your Lexus dealer.
 Fluid leaks under the vehicle.
(Water dripping from the air condi-
tioning after use is normal.)
 Flat-looking tires or uneven tire
wear
 Engine coolant temperature gauge
continually points higher than nor-
mal.
 Changes in exhaust sound
 Excessive tire squeal when corner-
ing
 Strange noises related to the sus-
pension system

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your Lexus dealer. The vehicle
will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which
could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on in yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When
the light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of
the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than
usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehi-
cle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appr opriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive over 50
mph (80 km/h).
●Check and adjust the tire in flation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment,
it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by the nearest Lexus
dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If th e vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehi-
cle placard or tire inflation pr essure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size th an the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell- tale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressu re telltale (tire pressure warning light) illu-
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a si gnificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation al so reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
