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 appropriate age and size of the
child 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 ªONº 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.

5. 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 ªAIRBAG OFFº indicator light should be illuminated when
the ignition key is ªONº and the child is in the child restraint
system after following these procedures. The ªAIRBAG OFFº
indicator light indicates the SRS front passenger airbag and
side airbag on the passenger side will not deploy. If the
ªAIRBAG ONº indicator light is illuminated, remove the child
restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
ªACCº or ªLOCKº position. If the ªAIRBAG ONº indicator light
still remains illuminated when the ignition key is turned to the
ªONº 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.

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 ªONº position and
the selector lever is in the ªPº 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 ªSETº button, push button ª1º or ª2º
until the signal beeps.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
226The 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 ª1º or ª2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button. Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key ªONº and selector lever in ªPº 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 (ª1º or ª2º)\
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.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS

Automatic tilt±away steering column*
When the ignition key is removed, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for
easy exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering
column returns to the previously set position.
NOTE: * This feature can be deactivated. Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger's side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When you push the outside rear view mirror defogger switch,
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly
clear the mirror surface. (See ªOutside rear view mirror
defogger switchº on page 47.)
The rear view mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear the
driver's rear view when it rains. (For details, see ªRain clearing
mirrorsº on page 638.)

CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror 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.
 Since the mirror surfaces can get hot, do not touch
them when the outside rear view mirror defogger
switch is on.
Power rear view mirror control

1Master switch2Control switch
To adjust the power rear view mirror, first place the master

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 ªMIRRORº switch changes the mode
between AUTO and DAY.
The indicator comes on when the automatic function 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 ignition key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear
view mirror always turns on in the automatic function mode.

AIR CONDITIONING
244The automatic air conditioning automatically maintains
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 ªONº position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the air conditioning on longer than necessarywhen the engine is not running.
