Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Lexus policy
of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at

Depending on specifications, the vehi-
cle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and

Approximately five hours after the
engine is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle
for several minutes. This is the sound of
a fuel evaporation leakage check and,
it does not indicate a malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare
parts and accessories for Lexus vehi-
cles are currently available in the mar-
ket. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not
responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any dam-
age they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified
with non-genuine Lexus products.
Modification with non-genuine Lexus
products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even vio-
late governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance
problems resulting from the modifica-
tion may not be covered under war-
ranty.

tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
 Lexus Safety System + 2.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system

1-1.For safe use
Use only floor mats designed specifi-
cally for vehicles of the same model
and model year as your vehicle. Fix
them securely in place onto the carpet.
1Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.
Always align the marks .
The shape of the reta ining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illustra-
tion.
Before driving
Observe the following before start-
ing off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.
Installing floor mats
A
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, poss ibly interfering with
the pedals while driv ing. An unexpect-
edly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genu-
ine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-
side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
●With the engine stopped and the shift
lever in P, fully depress each pedal to
the floor to make sure it does not inter-
fere with the floor mat.

501-2. Child safety
■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
outboard rear seat. (Marks displaying
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 securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in position s next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■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.

IGNITION ON mode, the red indica-
tor light comes on for 2 seconds then
turns off. Afterward, the green indica-
tor light comes on, indicating that the

■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-

539-8777 in Puerto Rico or 1-800-
265-3987 in Canada, and follow the
prompts for Safety Connect to initiate

ment with recovery of a stolen 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.

tell the response-center agent that you are
not experiencing an emergency.
