WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●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.
●Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap be lt during a collision, do not recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, th e 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 riskof 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.

■Conditions under which the BSM function may not function correctly
●The BSM function may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surround-
ing area • When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering the sensor or surrounding area onthe rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog• When multiple vehicles are approaching wi th only a small gap between each vehicle
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short • When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and the vehiclethat enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is changing • When a vehicle enters a detection area traveling at about the same speed as yourvehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehicle remains in the detection area • When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces • When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehiclein an adjacent lane is far away from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer (vehicles with towing package) • When items such as a bicycle carrier are installed on the rear of the vehicle• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the vehicle
that enters the detection area • Immediately after the BSM function is turned on
●Instances of the BSM function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object mayincrease in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surround- ing area• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc. that enters the
detection area is short • When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehicle traveling in a lane other than the adjacent lanes enters the detection area• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces

WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe dr iving. Always drive carefully, taking care to
observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle com- pletely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary todepress the brake pedal immediately as brak e control will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds.
■To ensure the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 383). Failure to do so
may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors ( P. 360). Failure to
do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the radar sensors, and alwa ys keep the radar sensors and their sur- rounding area on the bumper clean.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of the vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause the system to not oper-
ate or operate unnecessarily.

Driving
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
●Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary
passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
●An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems.
●It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.
Utility vehicle precautions
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity.
Utility vehicle feature
WARNING
■Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury or damage to your vehicle:
●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten their seat belts.
●Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re sult in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier wi ll make the center of the vehicle gravity
higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.
●Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center ofgravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
●Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes . Driving straight up or straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off- road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.
