CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items
could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to
remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags
and seat cushion airbag inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS air-
bags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags and seat cushion airbag
from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags and seat
cushion airbag to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the pas-
senger seats toward the door or put their
head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steer-
ing wheel pad and lower portion of the
instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles when
the SRS driver, front passenger and knee
airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a
door, windshield glass, side door glass, front
and rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.

and are not a malfunction:
●Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
●Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear

CAUTION
■Head restraint precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the head restraints. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
●Use the head restraints designed for each respective seat.
●Adjust the head restraints to the correct position at all times.
●Manual type: After adjusting the head restraints, push down on them and make
sure they are locked in position.
●Do not drive with the head restraints removed.
■The active head restraint on the front passenger seat (if equipped)
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which may prevents the sensor from
detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint
may not activate in the event of an accident.
■Active head restraint precautions (if equipped)
●Do not put head restraint covers.
●For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head
restraints, contact at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from oper-
ating properly during an accident.

they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes into
contact with electrical components such as the audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the windshield (vehicles with LKA [Lane-Keeping
Assist])
