LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
Front passenger occupant classi fication system precautions
Observe the following precautions regardin g front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●
Wear the seat belt properly. ●
Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the
buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat. ●
Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator ligh t is not illuminate d when using the
seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator
light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure
the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender
while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for the pas-
senger may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in
the event of collision. ●
Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat.●
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on
the front passenger seat seat back from the second seat.●
Do not let a second seat passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs. ●
Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. ●
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it to uches a second seat.
This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illumi nated, which indi-
cates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe acci-
dent. If the seatback touche s the second seat, return the seatback to a position
where it does not touch the second seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as
upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.

Front passenger occupant classi fication system precautions●
If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illu-
minated. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn cor-
rectly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remain illuminated, either ask the pas-
senger to move to the second seat, or if that is not possible, move the front
passenger seat fully rearward. ●
When it is unavoidable to install the forw ard-facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, install the child rest raint system on the front passenger seat
in the proper order. (  P. 1 4 9 )●
Do not modify or remove the front seat. ●
Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction in the detection sys-
tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately. ●
Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface. ●
Child restraint systems installed on the se cond seat should not contact the front
seatbacks.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Child restraint systems Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a ch ild restraint on a rear seat is much
safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appropri-
ate to the age and size of the child.
● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child
restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (  P. 1 4 9 )A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of
child restraint systems.
