For safety and security
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars 
or roof side rail garnishes (padding) con-
taining the SRS curtain shield airbags 
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the 
vehicle must wear  their seat belts 
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental 
devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with 
considerable force, and can cause 
death or serious injury  especially if the 
driver is very close to the airbag. The 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of 
inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 
mm) from your driver airbag provides 
you with a clear margin of safety. This 
distance is measured from the center 
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less  than 10 in. (250 
mm) away now, you can change your 
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as  you can while still reaching the pedals 
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.  Although vehicle designs vary, many 
drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 
mm) distance, even with the driver seat 
all the way forward, simply by reclining 
the back of the seat somewhat. If 
reclining the back of your seat makes it 
hard to see the road, raise yourself by 
using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or 
raise the seat if your vehicle has that 
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt  it downward. This points the airbag 
toward your chest instead of your head 
and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recom-
mended by NHTSA above, while still 
maintaining control of the foot pedals, 
steering wheel, and your view of the 
instrument panel controls. 

361-1. For safe use
WARNING
●If the seat belt extender has been con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles 
but the seat belt extender has not also 
been fastened to the latch plate of the 
seat belt, the SRS front airbags will 
judge that the driver and front passen-
ger are wearing the seat belt even 
though the seat belt has not been con-
nected. In this case, the SRS front air-
bags may not activate correctly in a 
collision, resulting in death or serious 
injury in the event of a collision. Be 
sure to wear the seat belt with the seat 
belt extender.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also 
deploys with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious injury 
especially if the front passenger is very 
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback 
adjusted, so the front passenger sits 
upright.
●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.44)
●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 seats toward the door or 
put their head or hands outside the 
vehicle.

be removed, remove the head 
restraint.
3 Place the child restraint system on 
the seat facing the front of the vehi-
cle.
Booster type
High back type
4 Sit the child in the child restraint 
system. Fit the seat belt to the child 
restraint system according to the 
manufacturer’s in structions and 
insert the plate into the buckle.  Make sure that the belt is not 
twisted.
Check that the shoulder
 belt is correctly 
positioned over the child’s shoulder and 
that the lap belt is  as low as possible. 
(  P.27)
■Removing a child restraint system 
installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and 
fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the child 
restraint system may sp ring up due to the 
rebound of the seat cushion. Release the 
buckle while holding down the child 
restraint system.
Since the seat belt auto matically reels itself, 
slowly return it to the stowing position.

■Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or 
severe rear-end collision, the system is 
designed to automatically call the 
response center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location and 
attempts to speak with the vehicle 
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to 
communicate, the ag ent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services 
provider to describe the situation, and 
requests that assistance be sent to the 
location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect 
can work with local authorities to assist 
them in locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police report, call 
the Safety Connect response center at 
1-800-25-LEXUS (1-800-255-
3987) in the United States, 1-877-
539-8777 in Puerto Rico or 1-800-
265-3987 in Canada, and follow the 
prompts for Safety Connect to initiate 
this service.
In addition to assisting law enforce-
ment with recovery of a stolen vehicle, 
Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle 
location data may, under certain cir- cumstances, be shared with third par-
ties to locate your vehicle. Further 
information is available at Lexus.com.
■Emergency Assistance Button 
(“SOS”)
In the event of an emergency on the 
road, push the “SOS” button to reach 
the Safety Connect response center. 
The answering agent will determine 
your vehicle’s location, assess the 
emergency, and dispatch the neces-
sary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, 
tell the response-center agent that you are 
not experiencing an emergency.
■Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced Roadside Assistance adds 
GPS data to the already included war-
ranty-based Lexus roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” but-
ton to reach a Safety Connect 
response-center agent, who can help 
with a wide range of needs, such as: 
towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a 
description of the Roadside Assistance 
services and their limitations, please 
see the Safety Connect Terms and 
Conditions, which are available at 
Lexus.com.
