Push the switch on the TILT UPº side to close the moon roof
fully. After releasing the switch, push the switch on the same
side again.

door. To close the moon roof:
Turn the key in the locking direction
and hold it.
To open the moon roof: Turn the key in the unlocking
direction and hold it.
After the door is unlocked, the moon roof begins to open. To
stop in the middle, return the key.
The moon roof also can be opened using the wireless remote
control. For details, see page 19.
Jam protection function
 If something gets caught between the moon roof and frame
during slide closing operation, the moon roof stops and
opens half way, and the deflector stops and raises fully.
 If something gets caught between the moon roof and frame
during tilting down operation, the moon roof stops and
opens fully.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
If the battery is disconnected or run down
The moon roof may not operate automatically and the jam
protection function will not function correctly after you
reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these
cases, you should normalize the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, push and hold the switch on the
TILT UPº side until the moon roof tilts all the way up and then
tilts down a little automatically.

sure that the moon roof opens and closes automatically.
If the moon roof cannot be operated properly, have it checked
by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
 While the vehicle is moving, always keep the heads,
hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Otherwise, they could
be seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or
if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
 Before you close the moon roof, always make sure
there is nobody around the moon roof. You must also
make sure nobody places his or her head, hands and
other parts of the body in the roof opening. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught in the
closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure it is safe
to do so.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave
your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone
in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the moon roof
switch and get trapped in the roof opening.
Unattended p erson (particularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.
 Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.
 Never try jamming any part of your body to activate
the jam protection function intentionally.
 The jam protection function may not work if
something gets caught just before the moon roof
fully closed.

Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch
The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch
(RSCA OFFº switch) can turn off the curtain shield
airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a vehicle rollover.
This switch should only be used if inflation is not desired
(such as extreme off-road driving).
When you push the RSCA OFFº switch for a few seconds with
the ignition switch on, the RSCA OFFº indicator light comes
on and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push
the switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing
function is turned on. (For details about the roll sensing
function, see SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbagsº on
page 178.) In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbags on impacted
side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is turned off.
(For details about the curtain shield airbags, see SRS side
airbags and curtain shield airbagsº on page 178.)
In a severe frontal impact, the seat belt pretensioners will work
even if the roll sensing function is turned off. (For details about
the seat belt pretensioners, see Seat belt pretensionersº on
page 160.)
If the ignition switch is turned to ACCº or LOCKº with the roll
sensing
function off and then the ignition switch is turned back
to ONº, the roll sensing function will turn back on
automatically.CAUTION
 Before normal driving, make sure the RSCA OFFº
indicator light is off.
 When the roll sensing function is turned off (and the
RSCA OFFº indicator light is on), the curtain shield
airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not work in
a vehicle rollover. Turning off the curtain shield
airbags and seat belt pretensioners reduces
occupant protection which your vehicle safety
systems can provide in accidents and increase the
likelihood of death or serious injuries.

When using the left side lower anchorages for the
child restraint system, do not sit in the center seat.
The performance of the center seat belt cannot be
brought out sufficiently because the belt may be
high-positioned or the seat belt may be loose-fitting,
posing the risk of serious injury in the case of
collision.
DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver's
seat, and the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and
outside rear view mirrors. Two dif ferent driving position profiles
can be entered into the computer's memory.
Recording the 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, tilt and telescopic steering and
outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the SETº button, push button 1º or 2º
until the signal beeps.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
220The 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. Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key ONº and selector lever in Pº position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
 Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver's door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.
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.
