Adjust the angle of the seatback
so that you are sitting straight up
and so that you do not have to
lean forward to steer. (P. 1 6 4 )
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so
that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. (P. 164)
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears. (P. 173)
Wear the seat belt correctly. (P. 38)

After the rear center seat belt has been used
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 6 1 )
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt,
follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 38)
Replacing 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.
Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional for seat belt replacement or installation. Stow the buckle as shown.

CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Wearing a seat belt
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
Always wear a seat belt properly.
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for
more than one person at once, including children.
Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a
seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than neces-
sary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P. 38)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips
in the same manner as other occupants,
extending the shoulder belt completely
over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact
with the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury as
a result of sudden braking or a collision.

CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can
cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to
the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possi-
ble with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seri-
ously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use
a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus
strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats
of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and
children than the front passenger seat. (P. 61)
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean
against the dashboard.
Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit
on the knees of a front passenger.
Do not allow the front seat occupants to
hold items on their knees.
Do not lean against the door, the roof side
rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
