■Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly secure
the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event of sudden brak-
ing, sudden swerving or an accident).
■Child restraint precautions
●For effective protection in automobile ac cidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age
and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper ch ild restraint system that conforms to the
size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in th e rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never install a rear-facing child restraint sy stem on the front passenger seat when the
airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( →P. 5 1 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restra int system that requires a top strap should
not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top strap anchor for the front
passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat
as far back as possible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
●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 and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS
side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags depl oy 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.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured
properly, it may cause death or serious inju ry to the child in the event of a sudden
stop, sudden swerve or accident.
■When children are in the vehicle
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 othe r serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
■When the child restraint system is not in use
●Keep the child restraint system properly secure d 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 rest raint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden st op, sudden swerve or accident.

■When installing a child restraint system
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat when the airbag
manual on-off switch is on. ( →P. 5 1 )
The force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or serious
injury to children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passenger side sun
visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-
facing child restraint system to the front pas-
senger seat.
Details of the label(s) are shown in the illustra-
tion below.

Maintenance and care

WA R N I N G
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) air vents, and in the luggage compartment.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. (→P. 4 3 )
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the wind-
shield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior
or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other interior part’s
painted surface may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of leather
surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Park the
vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the upholstery, as they
may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes into contact
with electrical components such as the audio system above or under the floor of the
vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■Cleaning the inside of the rear window
●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause damage to the
rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running
parallel to the heater wires or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or antenna.

When trouble arises
WA R N I N G
■Precautions for use of the sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume as
much water as possible, then immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, i mmediately wash it off with water. If discom-
fort persists, consult a doctor.
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or sealant
may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will
move abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being re paired, as there is a chance of it bursting
while the repair operation is being performe d. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor sw itch and stop the repair operation immedi-
ately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the com-
pressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
●Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit during and
after operation.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indi-
cated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the
pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air bag from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire infl ation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 19 psi)
or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.
