Before driving
■Internal trunk release handle
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Keep the trunk lid closed.
This not only keeps personal belongings from being thrown out, but also prevents
e
xhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle
as they may lock themselves in the
vehicle or trunk, which could cause the child to overheat or suffocate resulting in
death or serious injury.
■When the trunk has not been fully closed
Be careful that your fingers do not get caught by the trunk lid when it is closing auto -
matically.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the trunk lid closer

CAUTION
■Seat belt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to be jammed
in the door.
●Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot
protect an occupant from injury.
●Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt
does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in
a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify , disassemble or dispose of a seat belt.
Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate han-
dling of the pretensioner may cause it to activate or operate improperly and may
caus
e death or serious injury.
■Using seat belt extender
●Do not wear the seat belt extender, if you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system, because
the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of
death or injury in the event of a collision.
●The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender,
not

on the seat belt. 
This helps prevent damage to the vehi cle
interior and the extender itself.
