The Pop Up Hood will operate when the vehicle detects an impact such as the
following:
●The front bumper detects a frontal impact equivalent to or greater than that of
a pedestrian while the vehicle being driven within the operational speed range
of approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated by
an impact of threshold level or greater, even in the case of a minor collision
that may not leave a trace on the front bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system may be operated by a collision with a
light or small object or a small animal.)
●In other situations the system may operate when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front bumper, such as the following:• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
•Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an undulating road, a protruding object or falling object
Pop Up Hood operational conditions
CAUTION
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has oper-
ated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury.
Do not drive with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
Do not forcibly push down the hood. As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by
hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. If the
Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lift-
ers may be hot and burn you.

sional.
■Conditions under whic h the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate properly under the following conditions:
●If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the
vehicle. As such impacts may be difficult to detect, the system may not operate.
●If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways,
the system may not operate properly.
■Conditions under wh ich the Pop Up Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
●Colliding with a lying pedestrian

NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate properly if
the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specif ied size and inflated to the specified tire
pressure ( →P. 586). If tires of a different size are used, the system may not operate
properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be damaged
even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so may
cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or
replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not remove such components as th e front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system from oper-
ating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
●Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage
the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may prevent
the system from operating properly.

children opening the door while driving or operating the power window acci-
dentally.

CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age
and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior. This may cause death or serious injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper ch ild restraint system that conforms to the
size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in th e rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when the
airbag manual on-off switch is on. (→P. 5 4 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restra int system that requires a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap
anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and
always move the seat as far back as possible because the front passenger airbag
could inflate with considerable speed and fo rce. Otherwise, the child may be killed or
seriously injured.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front, center and rear pillars or roof side rails from which
the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield ai rbags deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could caus e death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured
properly, it may cause death or serious inju ry to the child in the event of a sudden
stop, sudden swerve or accident.

CAUTION
■When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around
a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
■When the child restraint system is not in use
●Keep the child restraint system properly secure d on the seat even if it is not in use. Do
not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child rest raint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the trunk. This will prev ent it from injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
