For safety and security
■Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard rear seats. (Buttons display-
ing the location of the anchors are
attached to the seats.)
■When installing in the rear out-
board seats
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.
1 Adjust the seat
If there is a gap between the child seat and
the seatback, adjust the seatback until
good contact is achieved.
2If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint. ( P.142)
3 Widen the gap between the seat
cushion and seatback slightly.
With flexible lower attachments
4 Latch the hooks of the lower
attachments onto the LATCH
anchors.
For owners in Canada:
WARNING
●When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in position s next to the child
restraint without inte rfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●When installing a child restraint system
in the rear center seat, adjust both
seatbacks at the same angle. Other-
wise, the child restra int system cannot
be securely restrained and this may
cause death or serious injuries in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR
lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to
tighten only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. ( P.28)
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when
installing 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 swervi ng or an accident.

For safety and security
Air intake vents
Air discharge vents When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the
high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the hybrid
system, contact your Lexus dealer.
A message is automatically displayed
when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air
intake and discharge vents
●Do not place objects
that will block the
air intake vents. The hybrid battery
(traction battery) may have a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery (traction battery)
output as well as be damaged.
●Clean the air intake and discharge
vents regularly to prevent the hybrid
battery (traction battery) from over-
heating.
●Do not get water or foreign materials
in either the air intake and discharge
vents as this may cause a short circuit
and damage the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
A
B
●If “Maintenance required for Traction
battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, clean the air intake vents
(  P.337). If the message is still dis-
played after cleaning the air intake
vents, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
●A filter is installed to the air intake vent.
When the filter re mains noticeably
dirty even after cleaning the air intake
vent, filter cleaning or replacement is
recommended. For information
regarding filter cleaning or replace-
ment, contact your Lexus dealer.
