CAUTION
If the ABSº warning light remains on together with the
brake system warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
In this case, not only the anti-lock brake system will fail
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
Vehicles with vehicle stability control system Ð
The light comes on with the ignition key turned to the ONº
position. If the anti-lock brake system and the brake assist
system work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if the system malfunctions, the light comes on
again.
When the ABSº warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti-lock brake system, the brake
assist system, the traction control system and the vehicle
stability control system do not operate, but the brake system
still operates conventionally.
When the ABSº warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti-lock brake system does not
operate so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden
braking or braking on slippery road surfaces.If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates
a malfunction somewhere in the components monitored
by the warning light. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon
as possible to service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned
to the ONº position, or remains on.
The light comes on while you are driving.
A warning light turning on briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the ABSº warning light remains on together with the
brake system warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
In this case, not only the anti-lock brake system will fail
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.

turned to ONº.

driver's door with the ignition key in the ACCº or LOCKº
position.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
123
This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to
the ONº position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating
properly.
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor
assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag
sensor assemblies, curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies,
driver's seat position sensor, driver's seat belt buckle switch,
front passenger occupant classification system, AIRBAG
OFFº indicator light, AIRBAG ONº indicator light, front
passenger's seat belt buckle switch, front seat belt
pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning light,
interconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see
Service reminder indicators and warning buzzersº on page 55
for instructions.)If any of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction of the airbags or seat belt pretensioners. Contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ONº position, the
light does not come on or remains on.
The light comes on while driving.
If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled
out due to a malfunction or activation of the relevant front
seat belt pretensioner.
The seat belt pretensioner assembly or surrounding area
has bees damaged.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
1645. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode.
When the belt is then retracted even slightly, it cannot be
extended. To hold the seat securely, make sure the belt is in
the lock mode before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat
cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it
will go to hold the convertible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its manufacturer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint system and secure the child,
complying with the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer.
The AIRBAG OFFº indicator light should be illuminated when
the ignition key is ONº and the child is in the child restraint
system after following these procedures. The AIRBAG OFFº
indicator light indicates the SRS front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the passenger side will not deploy. If the
AIRBAG ONº indicator light is illuminated, remove the child
restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
ACCº or LOCKº position. If the AIRBAG OFFº indicator light
still remains illuminated when the ignition key is turned to the
ONº position, then the SRS front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the passenger side may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child
restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing
child restraint system on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. Otherwise, the
front passenger occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child restraint system
and the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger seat could deploy.
