makers, cardiac resynchronization 
therapy-pacemakers or implantable 
cardioverter defibrillators should keep

with push-button start antennas. 
( P.103)
The radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices. If necessary, the 
entry function can be disabled. Ask 
your Lexus dealer for details, such as 
the frequency of radio waves and tim-
ing of the emitted radio waves. Then, 
consult your doctor to see if you 
should disable the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical device 
other than implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization 
therapy-pacemakers or implantable 
cardioverter defibrillators should con-
sult the manufacturer of the device for 
information about its operation under 
the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected 
effects on the operation of such medi-
cal devices.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting 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 con-
trol of the vehicle.
