231-1. For safe use
1
For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. (P.120)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. ( P.120)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.125)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.25) Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (
P.25)
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.43)
Make sure that you can see backward
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly.
( P.128, 129)
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.
Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
A
B
C
D
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front
seats.
Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in
place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit
when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel
tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when ad justing the seat
position to ensure that other passen-
gers 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
belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too rec lined, the 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.

3427-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warnin g light may come on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks
and tire inflation pressure chan ges caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire
inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■Conditions that the tire pressure wa rning system may not function properly
P.304
■If the tire pressure warning light freque ntly comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning lig ht frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when the
engine switch
checked by your Lexus dealer.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard du e to being in a noisy location or audio sound.
■Customization
The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled.
(Customizable features: P.391)
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake sy stem warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your Lexus dealer. The vehicle
will become extremely unstable during brakin g, and the ABS system may fail, which could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on in yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When the
light comes on red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the
steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier
than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehi-
cle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appr opriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive over 50
mph (80 km/h).
●Check and adjust the tire in flation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning lig ht comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment,
it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by the nearest Lexus
dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If th e vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
