221-1. For safe use
1-1 . Fo r sa fe use
Use only floor mats designed specifi-
cally for vehicles of the same model
and model year as your vehicle. Fix
them securely in place onto the carpet.
1Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.
Always align the marks .
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illustra-
tion.
Before driving
Observe the following before start-
ing off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.
Installing floor mats
A
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with
the pedals while driving. An unexpect-
edly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
QWhen installing the driver’s floor mat
ODo not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus
Genuine floor mats.
OOnly use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.
OAlways install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
ODo not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.
ODo not place the floor mat bottom-
side up or upside-down.
QBefore driving
OCheck that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
OWith the hybrid system stopped and
the shift lever in P, fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does
not interfere with the floor mat.

501-2. Child safety
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.
