TRUNK LID
Trunk lid opener
To open the trunk lid, push the switch.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press down on it. After
closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
The trunk lid can be unlocked using the wireless remote control
key. For details, see page xix.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being thrown out, but also
prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
ciiAfter the door is unlocked, the moonroof begins to open. To
stop in the middle, return the key.
The moonroof also can be opened using the wireless remote
control. For details, see page xx.
Jam protection function
If something gets caught into the roof opening during closing
operation, the moonroof stops and opens.
If the moonroof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
If the battery is disconnected or run down
The moonroof 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 moonroof.
To normalize the moonroof, push and hold the switch on the
“TILT UP” side until the moonroof tilts all the way up and then
tilts down a little automatically.
Make sure that
the moonroof opens and closes automatically.
If the moonroof 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 moonroof, always make sure
there is nobody around the moonroof. 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 death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moonroof, 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 moonroof
switch and get trapped in the roof opening.
Unattended person (particularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
cvi
If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward.
This points the airbag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by
NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot
pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls.
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with
considerable force, and can cause death or serious
injury especially if the front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far
from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted,
so the front passenger sits upright.
Front seats (with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front
passenger seats. Observe the following precautions.
 Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle
is in use, since the side airbag inflates with
considerable speed and force. Otherwise, you may
be killed or seriously injured.
 Do not use seat accessories which cover the area
where the side airbags inflate. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from activating correctly,
causing death or serious injury.
 Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of
the seats with side airbags. Such change may
prevent the side airbag system from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause the side
airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or
serious injury.

Seat adjustment precautions
CAUTION
Do not adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving as
the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.
 Be careful that the seat does not hit a passenger,
luggage or the rear seat.
NOTICE
Do not operate the control switch in more than one
dimension at a time. It may cause electrical overload.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
cviii
Adjusting seat position
Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seat in that position. Do not
place anything under the seat, as this might interfere with the
seat movement.
Adjusting seatback angle
Move the control switch in the desired direction.
Releasing the switch will stop the seatback in that position.
CAUTION
Avoid reclining the seatback any more than needed.
The seat belts provide maximum protection in a frontal
or rear collision when the driver and the front passenger
are sitting up straight and well back in the seats. If you
are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your
neck may contact the shoulder belt. In the event of a
frontal collision, the more the seat is reclined, the
greater the risk of death or personal injury.
