Rear sunshade
Reverse operation feature
This function will become operational after the vehicle has been driven at
15 km/h (9 mph) or more with the rear sunshade in the raised position.
To ensure adequate rear visibility, the sunshade automatically lowers when
the shift lever is shifted to R and the function is in an operational condition.
However, the rear sunshade is raised again if either of the following occurs:
The switch is pressed again.
The shift lever is shifted out of R, and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15
km/h (9 mph).
If the engine is turned off when the rear sunshade has been lowered due to
the reverse operation feature, it will not be raised even when the engine is
turned on again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph). To raise
the sunshade again, press the switch.
The rear sunshade can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver's floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it
may become difficult to stop the vehicle, leading to a serious accident.
When installing the driver's floor mat
Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.
Only use floor mats designed for the driver's seat.
Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
Before driving
Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
With the engine stopped and the shift
lever in P (automatic transmission) or
N (manual transmission), fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make sure it
does not interfere with the floor mat.
