LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) 1-7. Safety information
Correct driving posture Drive with a good posture as follows:
Sit upright and well back in
the seat. (  P. 6 7 )
Adjust the position of the seat
forward or backward to
ensure the pedals can be
reached and easily
depressed to the extent
required. (  P. 6 7 )
Adjust the seatback so that
the controls are easily opera-
ble.
Adjust the tilt and telescopic
positions of the steering
wheel downward so the air-
bag is facing your chest.
(  P. 100)
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. (  P. 8 7 )
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(  P. 9 1 )

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
While driving ●
Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. ●
Do not place a cushion between the dr iver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt and head re straint, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury to the driver or passenger. ●
Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and
stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident. The adjustment
mechanism may also be damaged.■
Adjusting the seat position ●
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion, to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the hips
and apply restraint forces directly to th e abdomen or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury. ●
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.

1241-7. Safety information
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) SRS airbags The SRS airbags inflate when the vehi cle is subjected to certain types of
severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They
work together with the seat belts to he lp reduce the risk of death or serious
injury.
Front airbags
Driver airbag/front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and ches t of the driver and front passen-
ger from impact with interior components.
Knee airbags
Can help provide driver and front passenger protection.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Side and curtain shield airbags
Side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.
Side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the second outboard seat occupants.
Curtain shield airbags
● Can help protect primarily the head of front seat occupants.
● Can help protect primarily the head of second outboard seat
occupants.
● Can help protect primarily the head of third seat occupants.

1271-7. Safety information
1
Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Your vehicle is equipped with AD VANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety st andards (FMVSS208). The airbag sen-
sor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information
obtained from the sensors etc. show n in the system components diagram
above. This information includes cras h severity and occupant informa-
tion. As the airbags deploy, a chemica l reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-
pants. ■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating)
SRS airbag. ●
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, second seats, and parts of the front, center and rear pil-
lars, and roof side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also
be hot. ●
The windshield may crack. ●
For Safety Connect subscriber s, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a
severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to
the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to
push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants
to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emer-
gency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (  P. 7 2 2 )

1281-7. Safety information
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) ●
The SRS front airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corres ponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which
can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which
the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck●
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate. ●
The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is not a
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front airbags for the
front passenger may deploy if luggage is pu t in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield air-
bags) ●
The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of
an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an ap proximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle ori-
entation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]). ●
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
