1-7. Safety information

Before driving
CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or
serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation,
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides you with a
clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering
wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can
change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm)
distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the
back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to
see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• 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 main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls.

3-2. Using the audio system
■Using cellular phones
Interference may be heard through the audio system’s speakers if a cellular phone is
being used inside or close to the vehicle while the audio system is operating.
CAUTION

FCC Warning:
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment will void the user’s
authority to operate this device.
●Laser products
• Do not take this unit apart or attempt to make any changes yourself.
This is an intricate unit that uses a laser pickup to retrieve information from the
surface of compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so that its rays remain
inside the cabinet. Therefore, never try to disassemble the player or alter any
of its parts since you may be exposed to laser rays and dangerous voltages.
• This product utilizes a laser.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

■Changing the settings
Each item is displayed and its setting can be changed only in the following condi-
tions:
●Lexus parking assist-sensor: When the engine switch is in IG-ON mode.
●Items other than the above: When the engine switch is in IG-ON mode and the
vehicle is stopped.
■Display
The display will return to the original display if the satellite switches are not oper-
ated for an extended period.
Even if the display is in satellite switch mode, it will switch in the event of a warning
or when the radar cruise control is used. If this occurs, press any of the satellite
switches or DISP switch on the steering wheel to return the display to satellite
switch mode.

Maintenance and care
●Sensors can be removed from the old wheels and installed on the new
wheels.
●When replacing only the tire, the sensor already installed on the wheel
does not need to be replaced.
●Replacing both a wheel and its sensor.
When new tire pressure sensors are installed, new sensor ID codes must be
registered in the ECU and tire inflation pressure sensor must be initialized.
(P. 285, 286)
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
●When the standard tire pressure changes by replacing tires or
wheels
●When tires are rotated.
●When tire pressure sensors are replaced.
●When driving with the tires inflated to a higher than standard tire
pressure.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
pressure is set as the pressure benchmark.
■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
To initialize the system, use the satellite switch. (P. 222)
Park the vehicle in safe place and turn off the engine.
Adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure (P. 389)
Start the engine.
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified level. The tire infla-
tion pressure warning system will operate based on this pressure level.
