come on when you start the hybrid sys-
tem, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an
accident, which could result in death or
serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when ad justing 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.
■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 control
of the vehicle.
