Make sure that you can see backward
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly.
( P.146, 147)
Adjusting the mirrorsSeat belts
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●Always wear a seat belt properly.
●Each seat belt should be used by one
person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, includ-ing children.
●Lexus recommends that children be
seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than nec- essary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

Do not twist the seat belt.

■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi- pally 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.48)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
■Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.
1 To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud- den 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.
The front seats are equipped with
guides to allow the seat belts to be
extended easily. When it is difficult to
extend the seat belt, pass the seat belt
through the guide.
When getting into or out of a rear seat,
release the seat belt from the guide.

Vehicles with manual type head

Except for Russia and Kazakhstan
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle roll-
over.
For Russia and Kazakhstan
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal or side collision or a
vehicle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact or a rear impact.
■Replacing the belt after the preten-
sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
WARNING
■When using the seat belt guide
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the guide.
●Regardless of whether the guide is
used or not, always secure the seat belt guide button.
●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.

Front impact sensors
Side impact sensors (door)
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag sys-
tem is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several mi nutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS: If the
SRS airbags deploy, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the
“SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance
required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps
to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P.299)*: In some cases, the call cannot be made.
( P.300)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corre- sponding to an approximately 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions: • If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can
move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle underrides, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh old level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction per- pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 -
18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side colli- sion.
●For Russia and Kazakhstan: Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
■Conditions under which the SRS air- bags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious

sion, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed side or low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
For Russia and Kazakhstan: The SRS curtain shield airbags do not ge nerally inflate if the
vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or low-speed frontal colli-
sion.
●Collision from the rear
●Pitching end over end
■When to contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involv ed in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged, deformed or has had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.
