KEYS AND DOORS

CAUTION
Do not pull the inside handle of the front doors while
driving. The doors will open and an accident may occur.
Lexus strongly recommends that all children be placed
in the rear seat of the vehicle.
Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock the
door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. Doors
cannot be locked when either front door is open and the key is
in the ignition.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from
being thrown out from the vehicle during an accident.
It also helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

and hold it.
After
the door is unlocked, the windows begin to open. To stop
in the middle, return the key.
The windows also can be opened using the wireless remote
control. For details, see page 18.
Jam protection function
During automatic raising operation or key off raising operation,
the window stops and is lowered if something gets caught
between the window and window frame.
If the window receives a strong impact, this function may work
even if nothing is caught.
If the battery is disconnected or run down
The power windows may not operate automatically and the jam
protection function will not function correctly after you
reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. At this time, the
indicator lights of the switches will flash. In any of these cases,
you should normalize the power windows.
To normalize the power windows:
1. Push down the power window switches of each door and
lower the windows halfway. 2. Pull up the switches until the windows close and hold the
switches for a second.
Make sure that the windows open and close automatically. If
the power windows cannot be operated properly, have it
checked by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.

Before you close the power windows, always make
sure there is nobody around the power windows. You
must also make sure the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If someone's neck,
head or hands get caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes
the power windows, make sure he or she operates the
windows safely.
 When small children are in the vehicle, never let them
use the power window switches without supervision.
Use the window lock switch to prevent them from
making unexpected use of the switches.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave
your vehicle.

Fastening front, second and third seat belts
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the
seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on
impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move
around freely. When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and
is 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 securely.
(For details, see Child restraintº on
page 184.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then
pull the belt out once more.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull
the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
 After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
 Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this
may prevent you from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
 If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot
protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.

Be sure to wear the seat belt without the seat belt
extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
 Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a
child restraint system on the front or rear passenger
seat. If installing a child restraint system with the
seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, 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 collision.
To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into
the seat belt buckle so that the PRESSº signs on the
buckle release buttons of the extender and the seat belt
are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release
button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extender itself.
When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle
for future use.

CAUTION
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of
the belt and the seat belt extender are not twisted.

may prevent you from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
 If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot
protect an adult occupant or your child from injury.
Seat belt pretensioners
The driver and front passenger's seat belt pretensioners
are designed to be activated in response to a severe
frontal impact or a vehicle rollover.
When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact or a vehicle
rollover, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the
retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the front seat
occupants.
The seat belt pretensioners are activated even if there is no
passenger sitting in the front seat.
The seat belt pretensioners and SRS airbags may not operate
together in case of collisions at a certain speeds and angles.

CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
 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.
 Do not install a child restraint system on the second
seat if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. This can cause death or serious injury to
the child and front passenger in case of sudden
braking or a collision.
 When using the left side lower anchorages for the
child restraint system, do not sit in the center seat.
The performance of the center seat belt cannot be
brought out sufficiently because the belt may be
high-positioned or the seat belt may be loose-fitting,
posing the risk of serious injury in the case of
collision.
