Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the ped-
als while driving. An unexpectedly high spee d may result or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to an ac cident, resulting in death or serious injury.■
When installing the driver’s floor mat ●
Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,
even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats. ●
Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat. ●
Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) provided. ●
Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other. ●
Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down. ■
Before driving ●
Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in
the correct place with all the provided retain-
ing hooks (clips). Be especially careful to per-
form this check after cleaning the floor. ●
With the hybrid system stopped and the shift
lever in P, fully depress each pedal to the floor

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.●
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 chokin g or other serious injuries that could result
in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfa stened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt. ●
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted. ●
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure
that it has been securely installed. ●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. ●
When a booster seat is installed, always en sure that the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child’s
neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder. ●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.●
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may not be possi-
ble to properly use the seat belts in positi ons next to the child restraint without inter-
fering with it or affecting se at belt effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly
across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position. Failur e to do so may result in death or serious
injury. ●
When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seatbacks
at the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely
restrained and this may cause death or seriou s injuries in the even t of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident. ■
When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder
belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten on ly. This could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. (  P. 3 6 )■
Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when instal ling a child restraint system, the seat belt will
not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
