1-1. For safe use
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) con-taining the SRS curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat
all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it
hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head
and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recom-
mended above, while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel,
and your view of the instrument panel
controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen- ger seat should be as far from the air-bag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

For safety and security
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the trunk lid closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-cle even when the trunk lid is closed,
open the windows and have the vehi- cle inspected at any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer as soon as pos- sible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine tem>.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter
the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area
with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running
, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehi-cle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired
by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the
vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light ( P.373) go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not
be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 12.1L [3.2 gal., 2.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This
value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)
Hybrid system precautions (LC500h)
Take care when handling the hybrid system , as it is a high voltage system (about
650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts that become extremely hot when
the hybrid system is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.

■Items to check before locking the
vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of
the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure
of the following:
 Nobody is in the vehicle.
 The windows are closed before the
alarm is set.
 No valuables or other personal
items are left in the vehicle.
WARNING
■Double locking system precaution
Never activate the do uble locking sys-
tem when there are people in the vehicle because both side doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle.
Alarm*
The alarm uses light and sound to
give an alert when an intrusion is
detected.
The alarm is triggered in the follow-
ing situations when the alarm is set:
 A locked door or trunk is
unlocked or opened in any way
other than using the entry func-
tion or wireless remote control.
(The door will lock again auto-
matically.)
 The hood is opened.
 The intrusion sensor detects
something moving inside the
vehicle. (Example: an intruder
breaks a window and gets into the
vehicle.)
 The tilt sensor detects a change of
vehicle inclination.
