Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
While driving ●
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 dr iver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt and head re straint, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury to the driver or passenger. ●
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. The adjustment
mechanism may also be damaged.■
Adjusting the seat position ●
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion, to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the hips
and apply restraint forces directly to th e abdomen or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury. ●
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers 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.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Your vehicle is equipped with AD VANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety st andards (FMVSS208). The airbag sen-
sor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information
obtained from the sensors etc. show n in the system components diagram
above. This information includes cras h severity and occupant informa-
tion. As the airbags deploy, a chemica l reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants. ■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating)
SRS airbag. ●
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, second seats, and parts of the front, center and rear pil-
lars, and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also
be hot. ●
The windshield may crack. ●
For Safety Connect subscriber s, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a
severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to
the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to
push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants
to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emer-
gency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (  P. 7 2 2 )

When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair.
Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. ●
Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated. ●
The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause the
SRS front airbags to inflate.
●
A portion of a door is damaged or
deformed, or the vehicle was involved in an
accident that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags to inflate.
●
The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger airbag
or lower portion of the instrument panel is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam-
aged.
●
The surface of the seats with the side air-
bag is scratched, cracked or otherwise
damaged.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
SRS airbag precautions
●
The SRS front passenger airbag also depl oys with considerable force, and can
cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the
airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with
the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. ●
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seri-
ously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a
seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly
recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle
and properly restrained. The rear seats ar e safer for infants and children than the
front passenger seat. (  P. 144) ●
If the seat belt extender has been con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles but the
seat belt extender has not also been fas-
tened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the
SRS front airbags will judge that the driver
and front passenger are wearing the seat
belt even though the seat belt has not been
connected. In this case, the SRS front air-
bags may not activate correctly in a colli-
sion, resulting in death or serious injury in
the event of collision. Be sure to wear the
seat belt with the seat belt extender.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly
secure the child restraints to the outboard second seats using the LATCH
anchors or a seat belt. Attach the to p tether strap when installing a child
restraint.
The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not com-
patible with the LATCH (Lower Anchor s and Tethers for Children) system.
Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided
for the outboard second seats.
(Buttons displayi ng the location
of the anchors are attached to
the seats.)
Seat belts equipped with a child
restraint locking mechanism
(ALR/ELR belts except driver’s
seat belt)
Anchor bracket (for top tether
strap) Anchor brackets are provided
for all second seats.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Pre-Collision System 
 : If equippedWhen the radar sensor detects possibilit y of a frontal collision, the pre-col-
lision systems such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged
to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.
■ Pre-collision seat belts (front seats only) If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses
control of the vehicle. (  P. 9 4 )
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in
the event of skidding.
■ Pre-collision brake assist When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
■ AVS control When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a frontal col-
lision, the AVS optimizes the damping effect. (  P. 3 2 9 )

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
Things that must not be carri ed in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment. ●
Receptacles containing gasoline ●
Aerosol cans■
Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury. ●
Stow cargo and luggage in the lugga ge compartment whenever possible.●
Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.
Such items may be thrown about and possib ly injure people in the vehicle during
sudden braking, sudden swerving or in an accident. ●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the items may
get under the brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or hit the driver or passengers,
causing an accident.
•Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
•Instrument panel
•Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid ●
Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure some-
one during sudden braking, sudd en swerving or an accident.●
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly
behind the front seats. ●
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seat s with their seat belt s properly fastened.
Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious injury, in the
event of sudden braking, sudd en swerving or an accident.
