301-1. For safe use
Driver’s seat belt buckle switch
Airbag sensor assembly
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator lights
Front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch
Front impact sensors
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the
US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly
(ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sen-
sors etc. shown in the system components diagram above. This information
includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemi-
cal 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 minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
(  P.97)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.246)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.274)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.344)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.350)
●For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to send an
emergency call to the response center,
notifying them of the vehicle’s location
(without needing to push the “SOS” but- ton) 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 communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency services.
(
 P.55)
•An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear- end collision.
■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 12 - 18
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• 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-

■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be acti-
vated in order to prevent the electronic key
battery and the battery from being dis-
charged while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart
access system with push-button start may
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left within
approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of
the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 5 days or
longer.
●If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 14 days or
longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at
any doors except the driver’s door. In this
case, take hold of the driver’s door han-
dle, or use the wireless remote control or

start cannot be used. To cancel the func-
tion, press any of the electronic key but-
tons.
●Electronic keys that will not be used for
long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the follow-
ing situations, the communication between
the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart access sys-
tem with push-button start, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly.

■Starting the engine
 P.144
■Driving
1 With the brake pedal depressed,
shift the shift lever to D. ( P.150)
2 If the parking brake is in manual
mode, release the parking brake.
( P.154)
3 Gradually release the brake pedal
and gently depress the accelerator
pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
■Stopping
1 With the shift lever in D, depress
the brake pedal.
2 If necessary, set the parking brake.
If the vehicle is to be stopped for an
extended period of time, shift the shift lever
to P or N. ( P.150)
■Parking the vehicle
1 With the shift lever in D, depress
the brake pedal.
2 Set the parking brake ( P.154),
and shift the shift lever to P
(  P.150).
3 Press the engine switch to stop the
engine.
4 Lock the door, making sure that
you have the electronic key on your
person.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels as
needed.
■Starting off on a steep uphill
1 Make sure that the parking brake is
set with the brake pedal depressed,
and then shift the shift lever to D.
2 Release the brake pedal and gently
depress the accelerator pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate.
(  P.246)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows
may become fogged-up, and the road
will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on
an expressway in the rain, because there
may be a layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing the
steering and brakes from operating
properly.
■Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, the engine
speed may become high while driving. This
is due to automatic up-shifting control or
down-shifting implementation to meet driv-
ing conditions. It does not indicate sudden
acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill
or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is released
●When the brake pedal is firmly or quickly
depressed
■Restraining the engine output (Brake
Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake pedals
are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
Driving the vehicle
The following procedures should be
observed to ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure

1384-1. Before driving
WARNING
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if
you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could
cause an accident or fire due to engine
overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is
parked in a poorly ventilated area,
exhaust gases may collect and enter the
vehicle, leading to death or a serious
health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more
cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the
brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differ-
ently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold
the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not
operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns
that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but
the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will in crease. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up
the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 individ-
ual hydraulic systems; if one of the sys-
tems fails, the other will still operate. In
this case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual and
the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck (AWD
models)
Do not spin the wheels excessively when
any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehi-
cle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may
damage the driveline components or
propel the vehicle forward or backward,
causing an accident.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time while
driving, as this may restrain the engine
output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in
either direction and hold it there for an
extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road,
drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the
vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the fol-
lowing situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehi-
cle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
