CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front
passenger seats. Observe the following precautions.
Do not lean over the front door when the vehicle is in
use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed
and force; you may be killed or severely injured.
 Do not modify or replace the seats or the surface of
the seats with side airbags. Such changes may
disable the system, or cause the side airbags to
inflate, resulting in death or serious injury. Consult
your Lexus dealer.
 Do not use accessories for the seats which cover the
parts where the side airbags should inflate. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from
activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.

Seat adjustment precautions
Adjust the driver's seat so that the foot pedals, steering
wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy
reach of the driver.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as
the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
 Be careful not to hit the seat against a passenger,
luggage or the rear seat.
NOTICE
Do not operate the control switch in more than
one dimension at a time. It may cause electricaloverload.

Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seatback in that
position.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a
collision, avoid reclining the seatback any more than
needed. The seat belts provide maximum protection in
a frontal or rear collision when the driver and the
passenger are sitting up straight and well back in the
seats. If you are reclined, the lap belt may slide past
your hips and apply restraint forces directly to the
abdomen. Therefore, in the event of a frontal collision,
the risk of personal injury may increase with increasing
recline of the seatback.

To move the head restraint forward or rearward, pull

The head restraint is most effective when it is close to
your head. Therefore, using a cushion on the seatback
is not recommended.
CAUTION
Adjust the center of the head restraint so that it is
closest to the top of your ears.
