■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.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com-
pletely extended and then retracted even 
slightly, the belt is lock ed in that position and 
cannot be extended. This feature is used to 
hold a child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To 
free the belt again, fu lly retract the belt and 
then pull the belt out once more. ( P.40)
When fastening a front seat belt, 
ensure that it is passed through the seat 
belt guide. Passing the seat belt 
through the guide enables the seat belt 
to be easily extended.
When you get into or ou t of the rear seats, 
release the seat belt from the seat belt 
guide.
WARNING
●Do not use the seat belt extender 
when installing a child restraint system 
because the belt will not securely hold 
the child restraint system, increasing 
the risk of death or serious injury in the 
event of an accident.
●The personalized extender may not be 
safe on another vehicle, when used by 
another person, or at a different seat-
ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the se at belt, press on 
the buckle release button on the 
extender, not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle 
interior and the extender itself.

severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in 
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of 
the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may 
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the 
extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be 
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering 
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as 
well as the front seat s, parts of the front 
and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may 
be hot for several minutes. The airbag 
itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.

●For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to send an 
emergency call to the response center, 
notifying them of the vehicle’s location 
(without needing to push the “SOS” but-
ton) and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain the level 
of emergency and assi stance required. If 
the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the 
call as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency services.

• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a sever rear-end  collision.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS 
front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the 
event of an impact that exceeds the set 
threshold level (the  level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18 
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform). However, this threshol
d velocity will be 
considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a  parked vehicle or sign pole, which can 
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride 
collision, such as a collision in which the 
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes 
under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is 
possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
●The SRS front airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat. 
However, the SRS front airbags for the 
front passenger may deploy if luggage is 
put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccu-
pied.
■SRS airbag deployment  conditions (SRS 
side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags 
will deploy in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set threshold level (the level 
of force corresponding to the impact 
force produced by an approximately 
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with 
the vehicle cabin from a direction per-
pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an 
approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 
30 km/h]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags will 
deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
●All SRS side and curtain shield airbags 
will deploy in the event of a severe frontal 
collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS air-
bags may deploy (inflate), other than a 
collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and 
curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a 
serious impact occurs to the underside of 
your vehicle. Some examples are shown in 
the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard

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, 
the moon roof or other features of the 
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the 
vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint 
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed, 
different types of  child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system when 
riding with a small child that cannot 
properly use a seat belt. For the 
child’s safety, install the child 
restraint system to a rear seat. Be 
sure to follow the installation 
method that is in the operation 
manual enclosed with the restraint 
system.

■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 spring up due to the 
rebound of the seat cushion. Release the 
buckle while holding down the child 
restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself, 
slowly return it to the stowing position.
■Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the 
each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the 
location of the anchors are attached to 
the seats.)
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play with the 
seat belt. If the seat belt becomes 
twisted around a child’s neck, it may 
lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result  in death. If this 
occurs and the buckle cannot be 
unfastened, scissors should be used to 
cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are 
securely locked and the seat belt is not 
twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left 
and right, and forward and backward 
to ensure that it has been securely 
installed.
●After securing a child restraint system, 
never adjust the seat.
●When a booster seat is installed, 
always ensure that th e shoulder belt is 
positioned 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.
●Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system 
manufacturer.
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR 
lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to 
tighten only. This could cause injury or 
discomfort to the child. ( P.26)
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when 
installing a child restra int system, the seat 
belt will not securely hold the child 
restraint system, which could cause 
death or serious injury to the child or 
other passengers in the event of sudden 
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
