GS350_U (OM30C34U)
For safety drive
Adjust the angle of the seatback
so that you are sitting straight up
and so that you do not have to
lean forward to steer. (→P. 1 2 8 )
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. 1 2 8 )
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of your
ears. ( →P. 1 3 6 )
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(→ P. 30)
Make sure that all occupants are we aring their seat belts before driving
the vehicle. ( →P. 30)
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( →P. 5 3 )
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.

For safety and security
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and
outside rear view mirrors properly. (→P. 140, 142)
Adjusting the mirrors
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●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 posture 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 adjust-
ment mechanism may also be damaged.
●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 continue
driving and take a break immediately.

321-1. For safe use
GS350_U (OM30C34U)If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
(→
P. 2 7 8 )
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that
you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used
to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly . To free the belt again, fully retract the
belt and then pull the belt out once more. ( →P. 5 7 )
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( →P. 5 3 )
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt usage. ( →P. 3 0 )
■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
■Seat belt extender
Pre-collision seat belts (front seat s of vehicles with pre-collision
system)
If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a person-
alized seat belt extender is available from
your Lexus dealer free of charge.
