For safety and security
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)Insert the mechanical key into
the cylinder and rotate to the
“OFF” position.
The “OFF” indicator light turns on
(only when the engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode).
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunc-
tion in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on.
The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is
switched to “ON” or “OFF”.
Deactivating the front seat passenger airbag, front passenger
knee airbag and front passenger side airbag
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long
as the airbag manual on-off system is set to off.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to on.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.

Operation of each component
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
When driving position memory is linked with door unlock operation
If the driver’s door is opened, the driver’s seat will move toward the memo-
rized position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehi-
cle.
Turning the engine switch to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode, or fas-
tening the driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the engine switch off
Driver’s seat:
Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the
driver’s door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again. Mem-
orized steering wheel position can be activated by pressing the engine switch.
Front passenger’s seat:
Memorized positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the front pas-
senger’s door is opened by pressing button “1”, “2” or “3”.
Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat
is being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize
the current position and the memorized position will not be correctly
recalled.
The auto away function for exiting the driver’s seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function
may not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away
function can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 855)
CAUTION
Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear
passenger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

Driving
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When driving the vehicle
During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult
to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 7 3 9
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (P. 214)
Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shift changing, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are
wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
