WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning light not come on
when you start the hybrid system, this
could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

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 rec lined, 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.
