For safety and security
Installing child restraints
Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard rear seats. (Buttons display-
ing the location of the anchors are
attached to the seats.)
Seat belts equipped with a child
restraint locking mechanism (ALR/
ELR belts except driver’s seat belt)
(P. 3 4 )
Anchor brackets (for top tether
strap)
An anchor bracket is provided for
each rear seat.
Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly
secure child restraints to the se ats using the LATCH anchors or a seat
belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint.

771-2. Hybrid system
ES350_300h_OM_OM33A60U_(U)
1
For safety and security
There is an air intake vent beside the
rear left seat for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (traction
battery). If the vent becomes
blocked, the hybrid battery may
overheat, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery output.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emer-
gency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electr ocution and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates, your ve hicle will not restart. To restart the
hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the instruc-
tions.
