1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. ( P.138)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. ( P.138)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.143)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.29)
Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. ( P.31)
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.48)
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and

Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
A

C
D
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos- ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con- tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

( P.146, 147)
Adjusting the mirrorsSeat belts
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●Always wear a seat belt properly.
●Each seat belt should be used by one
person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, includ-ing children.
●Lexus recommends that children be
seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than nec- essary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■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.48)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
■Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.
1 To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud- den stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around fully.
The front seats are equipped with
guides to allow the seat belts to be
extended easily. When it is difficult to
extend the seat belt, pass the seat belt
through the guide.
When getting into or out of a rear seat,
release the seat belt from the guide.

For safety and security
WARNING
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag.
An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front pas-senger seat. ( P.48)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehi-cle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.
