4. To remove the infant seat, press the buckle-release button
and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will move
freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older child
passenger.(B) Convertible seat installation
A convertible seat must be used in forward-facing or
rear-facing position depending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the manufacturer's
instructions about the applicable child's age and size as
well as directions for installing the child restraint system.
Install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification system. In order to
activate the occupant classification system correctly, install the
forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat in the following order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ONº position.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
without putting your weight on the front passenger seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.

1645. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode.
When the belt is then retracted even slightly, it cannot be
extended. To hold the seat securely, make sure the belt is in
the lock mode before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat
cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it
will go to hold the convertible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its manufacturer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint system and secure the child,
complying with the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer.
The AIRBAG OFFº indicator light should be illuminated when
the ignition key is ONº and the child is in the child restraint
system after following these procedures. The AIRBAG OFFº
indicator light indicates the SRS front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the passenger side will not deploy. If the
AIRBAG ONº indicator light is illuminated, remove the child
restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
ACCº or LOCKº position. If the AIRBAG OFFº indicator light
still remains illuminated when the ignition key is turned to the
ONº position, then the SRS front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the passenger side may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child
restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing
child restraint system on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. Otherwise, the
front passenger occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child restraint system
and the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger seat could deploy.

DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the positions of the driver's
seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside rear view
mirrors. Two different driving position profiles can be entered
into the computer's memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer's memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the ONº position and
the selector lever is in the Pº position.
Setting the driving position
1. Adjust the driver's seat, accelerator and brake pedals,
and outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the SETº button, push button 1º or 2º
until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer's memory.By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button, the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
When you push button 1º or 2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
179 Conditions for memorized position activation
Ignition key ONº and selector lever in Pº position.
Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening driver's
door.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (1º or 2º)
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.
CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch.

wheel, pull up the lock release lever, tilt the steering wheel
to the desired angle and release the lever.
When the steering wheel is in a low position, it will spring up as
you release the lock release lever.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel while the vehicle is
moving. Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle
the vehicle and an accident may occur resulting in
death or serious injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel, try moving it up
and down to make sure it is locked in position.

Folding rear view mirrors
To fold the rear view mirror, push backward.
The rear view mirrors can be folded backward for parking in
compact areas.
CAUTION
Do not drive with the mirrors folded backward. Both the
driver and passenger side rear view mirrors must be
extended and properly adjusted before driving.
INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the rear of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Pushing the MIRRORº switch changes the mode
between AUTO and DAY.
The indicator comes on when the AUTO mode is selected.
DAY mode: The mirror surface is normal.
AUTO mode: If the mirror detects light from the headlights
of the vehicle behind you, the mirror surface darkens
slightly to reduce the reflected light.
When the inside rear view mirror surface changes, the outside
rear view mirror surfaces will also become darker.
When the ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the AUTO mode.

the set temperature.
In the automatic operation mode, the air conditioning selects
the most suitable fan speed, air flow, air intake and on-off the
air conditioning according to the temperature.The ignition key must be in the ONº position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the air conditioning on longer than necessary
when the engine is not running.
