LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
Front passenger occupant classi fication system precautions●
If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illu-
minated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn cor-
rectly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remain illuminated, either ask the pas-
senger to move to the second seat, or if that is not possible, move the front
passenger seat fully rearward. ●
When it is unavoidable to install the forw ard-facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, install the child rest raint system on the front passenger seat
in the proper order. (  P. 1 4 9 )●
Do not modify or remove the front seat. ●
Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction in the detection sys-
tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately. ●
Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface. ●
Child restraint systems installed on the se cond seat should not contact the front
seatbacks.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly
secure the infant or child, resulting in serious injury or even death. ■
Child restraint precautions ●
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must
be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on
the age and size of the child. Holding a chil d in your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind-
shield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. ●
Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to
the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.●
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even
if the AIR BAG OFF indicator light illumina tes. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat. ●
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether
strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether
strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possi-
ble and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light illuminates, because the fr ont passenger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured. ●
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the
front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

Laws and regulations pe rtaining to Anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems co nforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
CAUTION■
When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock
mode: (  P. 9 5 )
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. ■
When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child re straint system installa tion manual and fix
the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctl y fixed in place, the child or other passen-
gers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. ●
If the driver’s seat interferes with the child
restraint system and prevents it from being
attached correctly, attach the child restraint
system to the right-hand second seat. ●
Child restraint system installed on the third
seat should not cont act the second seat-
backs.

1601-7. Safety information
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
When installing a child restraint system
●
When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat as far
back as possible, with the seatback close to the child restraint system. ●
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the center of the child’s sh oulder. The belt should be kept away from
the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder. Failing to do so
may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. ●
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted. ●
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to
ensure that it has be en securely installed.●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. ●
Follow all installation instructions provid ed by the child restraint system manufac-
turer.■
Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when inst alling a child restraint system, the seat belt
will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious
injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. ●
Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing or
booster child restraint on the front passen-
ger seat, move the seat as far back as possi-
ble even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator
light illuminates. Failing to do so may result
in death or serious injury if the airbags
deploy (inflate).

red zone (“H”). In this case, immediatel y stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. (  P. 8 7 3 )■
Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is
running, there may be a battery or chargi ng system malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer. ■

When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount of engine oil.
(  P. 74 9 )
When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not decreased,
or if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Lexus
dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubrication system.
