CAUTION
■Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or luggage
may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a serious
health hazard. Make sure to close the back door before driving.
●Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back
door is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, causing an acci-
dent.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden braking
or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
■When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the child’s
hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door, which may result in
death or serious injury of the child.

Pull the center seatback angle
lever behind the seatback and fold
the seatback down.
To return the rear center seatback
to its original position, lift it up until
it locks.
CAUTION
■When folding the rear seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●Do not fold seatbacks down while passengers are seated or luggage is placed on
the seats.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to
P.
●After folding the seatback, lightly move the seat back and forth to lock it in place.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment
while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
■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.

■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. 1 4 2 )
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 89 regarding seat belt usage.

first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional, for seat belt replacement or installation.
