Before operating
After operating
■Active roll bar precautions
●Before scrapping your vehicle, make
sure to contact your Lexus dealer.
●If the active roll bar operates when the
soft top roof is opened, the soft top roof
cannot be closed.
●The active roll bar cannot be reused once
it has operated. Have it replaced by your
Lexus dealer.
■Active roll bar operational conditions
●The active roll bar operate regardless of
the opening/closing state of the soft top
roof.
●The active roll bar will operates 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, or the impact force produced by
an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg]
vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).
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
●The active roll bar operates when the
vehicle rolls over.
●The active roll bar may also operate if a
serious impact occurs to the underside of
the vehicle, such as in the following situa-
tion.
•Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
• Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
• Landing hard or falling
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• The vehicle is subjected to certain types
of severe impacts when the vehicle has
slided sideways and collided with a curb,
etc.
■Conditions under whic h the active roll
bar may not operate
The active roll bar does not generally oper-
ate if the vehicle is involved in a rear colli-
sion, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
or side collision. But, whenever a collision of
any type causes sufficient forward deceler-
ation of the vehicle, op eration of the active
roll bar may occur.
●Collision from the rear
●Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger compart-
ment
●Collision from the side at an angle
■When the active roll bar operates
The soft top roof cannot be opened or
closed while the active roll bar is operating.
■Warning message
If “Active Roll Bar System Malfunction Visit
Your Dealer” is displayed on the multi-
information display, have the vehicle

531-2. Child safety
1
For safety and security
■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.
