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 an accident, or leading to death or
a serious injury.
When installing the driver’s floor mat
Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehi-
cles, 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 clean-
ing the floor.
With the hybrid system stopped and the
shift lever in P, fully depress each pedal to
the floor to make sure it does not interfere
with the floor mat

ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or
