WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the trunk lid is not fully closed, it may
open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage in the trunk may
be thrown out, causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in the trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, they could suffer from heat exhaustion,
suffocation or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid.
Doing so may cause the trunk lid to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,
head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.

WARNING
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before opening it.
Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the surround-
ing area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is
about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing the tr unk lid in windy weather as it may move
abruptly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. Such
additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut again after it is
opened.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the trunk lid on an incline than on a level
surface, so beware of the trunk lid unexpect-
edly opening or closin g by itself. Make sure
that the trunk lid is fully open and secure
before using the trunk.
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra care to
prevent your fingers etc. from being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the trunk
handle is used to fully close the trunk lid, it
may result in hands or arms being caught.

distance between themselves and the smart entry & start system antennas. ( P. 141)
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry

repairer, or any reliable repairer for details, such as the frequency of radio waves and
timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should dis-
able the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemake rs or implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its opera-
tion under the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical
devices.
Ask any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus au thorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
for details on disabling the entry function.

■Power easy access system (if equipped)
The driver’s seat and steering wheel move in accordance with engine switch mode and
the driver’s seat belt condition. ( P. 161)
■When adjusting the seat
●Take care when adjusting the seat so that the head restraint does not touch the ceiling.
●Vehicles with folding type rear seats: When folding down a rear seatback, if it interferes
with a front seatback, adjust the front seat position so that the seats no longer interfere
with each other. However, if adjusting the front seat position causes the correct driving
posture to not be maintained, return the rear seatback to its original position. ( P. 159)
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
●Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap be lt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, th e lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk
of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
