Operation of each component
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
Power easy access system (if equipped)
The driver’s seat and steering wheel move in accordance with power switch
mode and the driver’s seat belt condition. (P. 170)
When adjusting the seat
If the head restraint touches the ceiling or rear seats while the seat is being
adjusted, lower the head restraint until it no longer touches the ceiling or rear
seats.
CAUTION
When adjusting the seat position
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are
not injured by the moving seat.
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline
the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

1723-3. Adjusting the seats
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
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 memorized
position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehicle.
Turning the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON mode, or fastening the
driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the power switch off
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. Memorized steer-
ing wheel position can be activated by pressing the power switch.
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 cur-
rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.
The auto away function for exiting
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may
not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
When the driving position is recalled by a memory linked door unlock operation
Since each memorized driving position is registered to a specific electronic key,
the driving position recalled may be different depending on the carried key.
When only doors other than the driver’s door are unlocked by the smart entry &
start system, the driving position will not be recalled. In this case, press a driv-
ing position memory button to recall the desired driving position.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away func-
tion can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 575)
CAUTION
Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passen-
ger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

1823-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The power switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
Linked mirror function when reversing (if equipped)
When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside rear
view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing
in order to give a better view of the ground. To disable this function, select nei-
ther “L” nor “R”.
If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked mirror func-
tion is in operation, the angle and position of the mirrors can be remembered,
and the mirrors will operate at the angle adjusted to the last time the linked mir-
ror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are in when the
linked mirror function is not operating, the mirror angle when the linked mirror
function is operating will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the
function is not operating.
When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers. Turn on
the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers. (P.
404)
Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (if equipped)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically
by the driving position memory. (P. 168)
Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside
rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare inside rear view
mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 179)
Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this case, remove any
ice and snow from the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending operation can be changed.

5128-2. Steps to take in an emergency
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
when the power switch is turned to ON mode, have it checked by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location or
audio sound.
CAUTION
If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. The
vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system
may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly
and operate using more force than usual.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation
pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, repair the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
Vehicles with run-flat tires
Decelerate to the lowest appropriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive
over 60 km/h (37 mph).
Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the tire replaced by
the nearest authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
