Before driving CAUTION●
Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
●
Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do not
hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break,
causing an accident.●
If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may sud-
denly shut again after being opened, caus ing someone’s hands, head or neck to
be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using
a genuine Lexus part is recommended. ●
The back door may suddenly shut if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the back door on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the back door
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door is fully open
and secure before using the luggage com-
partment. ●
When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught. ●
When closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on it s outer surface. If the
back door handle is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.

CAUTION■
Back door closer
●
Use caution when using the back door clos er as it still operates when the power
back door system is cancelled.■
Power back door
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●
Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or
anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught. ●
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure th ey are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.●
If the power back door system is turned off with the main switch while the back
door is operating automatically, the automatic operation is stopped. The back
door then has to be operated manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the
back door may open or close unexpectedly.●
If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer
may sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then
has to be operated manually. Take extra ca re when on an incline, as the back door
may open or close abruptly.
●
On an incline, the back door may suddenl y shut after it opens. Make sure the
back door is fully open and secure. ●
In the event that the back door is left slightly
open, the back door closer will automati-
cally close it to the fully closed position. It
takes several seconds before the back
door closer begins to operate. Be careful
not to catch fingers or anything else in the
back door, as this may cause bone frac-
tures or other serious injuries.

701-3. Adjustable components (s eats, mirrors, steering wheel)
Active head restraints
When the occupant’s lower back
presses against the seatback dur-
ing a rear-end collision, the head
restraint moves slightly forward
and upward to help reduce the risk
of whiplash to the seat occupant.■
Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to move.
Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may appear the head restraint inner
structure. These do not indicate problems.

lever behind the seatback and fold
the seatback down. To return the rear center seatback
to its original position, lift it up until

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.●

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 yo ur neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or seriou s 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.

Before driving Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with a pre-collision system)
If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat belts
will retract before the collision. (  P. 2 7 8 )■
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudd en stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. To allow the belt to extend, retract the belt and then
pull it slowly.■
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is
used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (  P. 141)■
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi pally 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 3 7 )●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 83 regarding seat belt usage.■
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.

881-3. Adjustable components (s eats, mirrors, steering wheel)
CAUTION■
Seat belt pretensioners ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat. Doing so
will disperse the passenger's weight, wh ich prevents the sensor from detecting
the passenger's weight properly. As a resu lt, the seat belt pretensioner for the
front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of a collision.●
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case,
the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.■
Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoul-
der. The belt should be kept away from yo ur neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause
death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
(  P. 8 4 )■
Seat belt damage and wear ●
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed
in the door.●
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts.
Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot
protect an occupant from death or serious injury.●
Ensure that the belt and tab are lo cked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function co rrectly, immediately contact your Lexus
dealer.●
Replace the seat assembly, including the belt s, if your vehicle has been involved in
a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.●
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts.
Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate han-
dling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
