■“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunction in the sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by any au thorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child rest raint system in a rear seat. In the event that
the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual
on-off system is set to off.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment
(inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to on.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which may result in
serious injury or even death.

When the sensors located at the back of the front bumper detect an impact with
a body, such as a pedestrian, which meet s or exceeds the threshold level while
the vehicle is being driven within the operational speed range, the system
becomes operational and raises the rear portion of the hood.

Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision with a body, such as a pedestrian, the Pop Up
Hood system raises the rear portion of the hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian’s he ad area by adding clearance to the
engine compartment.

The Pop Up Hood will operate when the vehicle detects an impact such as the
following:
●The front bumper detects a frontal impact equivalent to or greater than that of
a pedestrian while the vehicle being driven within the operational speed range
of approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated by
an impact of threshold level or greater, even in the case of a minor collision
that may not leave a trace on the front bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system may be operated by a collision with a
light or small object or a small animal.)
●In other situations the system may operate when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front bumper, such as the following:• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
•Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an undulating road, a protruding object or falling object
Pop Up Hood operational conditions
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has oper-
ated will further raise the h ood and may cause an injury.
Do not drive with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
Do not forcibly push down the hood. As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by
hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer , or any reliable repairer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repa irer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lift-
ers may be hot and burn you.

■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure to contact any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●The Pop Up Hood system cannot be reused once it has operated. Have it replaced by
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate properly under the following conditions:
●If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the
vehicle. As such impacts may be difficul t to detect, the system may not operate.
●If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways,
the system may not operate properly.
■Conditions under wh ich the Pop Up Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
●Colliding with a lying pedestrian
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the
operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate properly if
the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specif ied size and inflated to the specified tire
pressure ( P. 638). If tires of a different size are used, the system may not operate
properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be damaged
even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so may
cause accidental operation or prevent the sy stem from operating properly. If repair or
replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system from oper-
ating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
●Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage
the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may prevent
the system from operating properly.

●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental con-
tact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
●Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to avoid
children opening the door while drivin g or operating the power window acci-
dentally.
●Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power window, hood, trunk, seats etc.
Safety information for children
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wea r the vehicle’s seat belt.

the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or sh ift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a
danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows, the moon roof

Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer
than installing one on the front passenger seat.

the age and size of the child.
●For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child restraint
system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 65)

until good contact is achieved.
If the seatbelt shoulder anchor is ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
• For installing a junior seat
If the child in your child restraint system is in a very upright position, adjust the seat-
back to the most comfortable position.
If the seat belt shoulder anchor is ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
*2: Remove the head restraint if it interferes with your child restraint system.
*3: When using the left side seat for the child re straint system, do not sit in the center seat.
