RC F_U WARNING ■
Using a seat belt extender ●
Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender. ●
Do not use the seat belt extender when in stalling a child restrain t system because the
belt will not securely hold the child restra int system, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of an accident. ●
The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by another
person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally intended.
NOTICE ■
When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not
on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

RC F_U WARNING ■
When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.●
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. ●
Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper ch ild 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 th e rear seat than in the front seat.●
Holding a child in your or someone else’s ar ms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield or between
the holder and the interior of the vehicle. ●
Place one child to a child restraint system and then secure the child with the harness
of the child restraint system. ■
Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in th e event of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing, or an accident. ●
If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
the child restraint system has da mage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not
reuse the restraint system. ●
Make sure you have complied with all installa tion instructions prov ided with the child
restraint system manufacturer and th at the system is properly secured.●
Keep the child restraint system properly secure d on the seat even if it is not in use. Do
not store the child restraint system un secured in the passenger compartment.●
If it is necessary to detach the child rest raint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the trunk.

RC F_UExhaust gas precautions Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust gases if inhaled. WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxi de (CO), which is colorless and odorless.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.■
Important points while driving ●
Keep the trunk lid closed. ●
If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the trunk lid is closed, open the
windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.■
When parking ●
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the
engine. ●
Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior. ●
Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle. ■
Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack caused
by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by your Lexus dealer.

RC F_U ■
Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display. ■
Customization
Some functions can be customized. (  P. 111, 569)
WARNING ■
Caution for use while driving ●
When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the
safety of the area around the vehicle. ●
Do not look continuously at the multi-info rmation display while dr iving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle. ■
The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, th e information display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the dr iver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could ca use the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury. ■
Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during sett ing up the display, en sure that the vehicle
is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful carbon mo noxide (CO) may collect and enter the
vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE ■
While setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the dis-
play features.
