2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*3: When a large child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the sy stem may recognize him/her as an
adult depending on his/her physique and posture.

ing the child restraint system properly. ( P. 74 )

CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light not
come on when you turn the ignition swit ch to the “ON” position, this could mean

result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately if this occurs.

tion to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
