WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side window, front or rear pillar and roof side rail.
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of
these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curt ain 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 air- bags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side air- bags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components or the doors. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS air- bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as possi- ble to prevent skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad
and front and rear pillar garnishes are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS air-bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifications
without consulting any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy (inflate) acci- dentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pil-
lars, roof side rails, door panels, door trims or door speakers
●Modifications to the door panel (such
as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars,
kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches or roof luggage carrier
●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspen-sion system
●Installation of electronic devices such
as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans- mitter) and CD players

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys- tem
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be used,
the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause serious
injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off sys- tem is set to “ON”.If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in
the event of an accident, which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.
 Use the window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.
( P.152)
 Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when the airbag manual on-off switch
is on. ( P.46) The force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passenger side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing child restraint
system to the front passenger seat. Details of the label(s) are shown in the illustration below.

WARNING
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
●Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child rest raint on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
●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 or rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned 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.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
