1-1. For safe use
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever.
Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has operated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-ing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have
it replaced by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the speci-fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-vent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys- tem from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height may prevent the system from operat-ing properly.

Size class for ECE R44 ISOFIX
corresponding child restraint sys-
tems
1 Confirm the corresponding [Mass
group] from the weight of the child
( P.50)
(Ex. 1) When the weight is 12 kg (27
lb.), [Mass group 0+]
(Ex. 2) When the weight is 15 kg
(34 lb.), [Mass group I]
2 Confirming Size class
Select the Size class corresponding
to [Mass group] confirmed in step 1
from the [Child restraint systems
fastened with ISOFIX (ECE R44) -
Compatibility table]*.
(Ex. 1) When [Mass group 0+], the
corresponding size class is [C], [D],
[E].

corresponding size class is [A], [B],
[B1], [C], [D].
*: However, listings that are marked with
[X] cannot be selected, despite having
the corresponding size class in the suit-
ability table of the [Seating position].
■Child restraint systems fastened

ibility table
ISOFIX child restraint systems are
divided in different “size class”.
According to this “size class”, you will
be allowed to use it in the vehicle seat-
ing position mentioned in the table
below. To know your child restraint sys-
tem “size class” and “mass group”,
please refer to the child restraint sys-
tem manual.
If your child restraint system has no
“size class” (or if you cannot find infor-
mation in the table below), please refer

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury. Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
●Make sure to leave enough space
around the feet so they do not get stuck.
■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 your
neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious 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.
