Before driving
CAUTION
lDo not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do not
hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break,
causing an accident.
lDo not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the back door.
Such additional weight on the back door may cause the back door to fall closed
again after it is opened.
nBack door closer
lUse caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the power
back door system is cancelled.
lThe back door may fall if it is not opened
fully. It is more difficult to open or close the
back door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
lWhen closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
lWhen closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
back door strap is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
lIn the event that the back door is left slightly
open, the back door closer will automati-
cally close it to the fully closed position. It
takes several seconds before the back
door closer begins to operate. Be careful
not to catch fingers or anything else in the
back door, as this may cause bone frac-
tures or other serious injuries.

nPower back door
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
lCheck the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or
anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
lIf anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.
lIf the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer
may sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then
has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the back door
may move abruptly.
lIf the power back door main switch is turned off while the power back door is
operating, the back door will change to manual operation. In this case, be careful
as the back door may move suddenly.
lOn an incline, the back door may fall after it opens automatically. Make sure the
back door is fully open and secure.
lIn the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and
automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has to be oper-
ated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped back door may sud-
denly fall, causing an accident.

nPeople suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.
nChild seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
lUse a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 1 2 7 )
lWhen the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 75 regarding seat belt usage.
nReplacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
nSeat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a person-
alized seat belt extender is available from
your Lexus dealer free of charge.

CAUTION
nUsing a seat belt extender
lDo not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
lDo not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because
the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
lThe personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally
intended.
NOTICE
nWhen using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.

1-5. Refueling
CAUTION
lDo not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to
come close to an open fuel tank.
lDo not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
lDo not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
lDo not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.
nWhen refueling
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. If fuel is added with the nozzle
slightly lifted away from the fuel filler neck, the automatic shut off function may not
operate, resulting in fuel overflowing from the tank.
nWhen replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
nRefueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control system to
operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle's painted
surface.
