WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the infl uence: Never drive
your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment an d reduce coordina-
tion, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-
sively. Anticipate mi stakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and
be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full
attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-
trols, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding chil-
dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof or panoramic moon roof,
or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold
temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

241-1. For safe use
1-1.For safe use
Use only floor mats designed specifi-
cally for vehicles of the same model
and model year as your vehicle. Fix
them securely in place onto the carpet.
1Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor

tion.
Before driving
Observe the following before start-
ing off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.
Installing floor mats
A
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with
the pedals while driving. An unexpect-
edly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or di fferent model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genu-
ine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform 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 inter-
fere with the floor mat.

251-1. For safe use
1
For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. (P.117)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. ( P.117)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
(  P.132)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(  P.26) Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (
P.26)
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.45)
Make sure that you can see backward
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly.
(  P.136, 137)
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.

WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
A
B
C
D
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front
seats.
Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in
place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit
when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel
tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.
