1To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■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, fully retract the belt and
then pull the belt out once more. ( P.41)

301-1. For safe use
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS20 8). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU)
controls airbag deployment based on information obtain ed from the sensors etc.
shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash
severity and occupant information. As th e airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with no n-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 seats, parts of the front and
rear pillars, an d 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. ( P.91)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. (P.230)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. (P.254)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.320)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
(P.328)
●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.
( P.54)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated. • The vehicle is involved in a severe
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 “u nderrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners 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-

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 playin g with the windows,
the moon roof (if eq uipped) or other fea-
tures 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.

slowly return it to the stowing position.
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

■Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard rear seat. (Buttons displaying
the location of the anchors are
attached to the seats.)
■When installing in the rear out-
board seats
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.
1 Adjust the seat
If there is a gap between the child seat and
the seatback, adjust the seatback angle
until good contact is achieved.
WARNING
●When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that th e shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. T he 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 inte rfering 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 posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●When installing a child restraint system
in the rear center seat, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle. Otherwise, the child restraint
system cannot be securely restrained
and this may cause death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
●If the seat is adju sted, reconfirm the
security of the child restraint system.
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR
lock mode, do not fu lly 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.
