IS250/220d/200d_EE
CAUTION
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Seat belt damage and wear
Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and
loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged
seat belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

1-4. Opening and closing the windows and moon roof
IS250/220d/200d_EE
The moon roof can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Moon roof open warning buzzer
The buzzer sounds and a message is shown on the multi-information display
in the instrument panel when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned
OFF and the driver's door is opened with the moon roof open.
Door lock linked moon roof operation
The moon roof can be opened and closed using the mechanical key. (P.
516)
The moon roof can be closed using the entry function. (P. 3 8 )
Operating the moon roof after turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
OFF
The moon roof can be operated for approximately 45 seconds even after the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY mode or
turned OFF. It cannot, however, be operated once either front door is
opened.
Jam protection function
If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while closing
or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens slightly.
To reduce moon roof wind noise
When the moon roof is opened automatically, it will stop slightly before the
fully open position. Driving with the moon roof in this position can help
reduce wind noise.
Sunshade
The sunshade can be opened and closed manually. However, the sunshade
will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.

Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an air-
bag sensor.
In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag
system triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the
inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants. Knee airbags

CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, immedi-
ately if this occurs.
Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. (P. 467)
*:These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode to indicate that a system check is
being performed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or
after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a
light does not come on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
