WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the ped-als while driving. An unexpect edly high speed may result or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to an acci dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,
even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely us ing the retaining hooks (clips) provided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in the correct place with all the provided retain-
ing hooks (clips). Be especially careful to per- form this check after cleaning the floor.
●With the engine stopped and the shift lever in
P, fully depress each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floormat.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precaution s regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the driv er is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change yourdriving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals com- fortably.• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) dis- tance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back ofthe seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward
your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommend ed above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the fron t 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 infant s and children can be killed or seriously
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 recom- mends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and prop-
erly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 66)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of theSRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the
knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side railor the front, side and rear pillars.

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as thefront seats, parts of the front and rear pillars , and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh-
old level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be cons iderably higher in the following situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possib le that only the seat belt pretensioners will
activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags w ill deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehiclecabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
sp ee d o f 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will de ploy in the event of a severe frontal colli- sion.

RC200t_RC F_EE(OM24728E)
●The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
●The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when the vehicle
is towed away.
This system is designed to deter and pr event vehicle theft but does not guarantee
absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will be set automatically when the alarm is
set. ( P. 103)
■Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle, make sure to
disable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor before setting the alarm, as they will
respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the engine switch off.
Press the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor cancel switch.
Press the switch again to re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
Each time the intrusion sensor is canceled/set, a message will beshown on the multi-information dis-
