When the outside air temperature is low, it may take a little longer
for the mirror to darken in response to the detection of headlights.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is moving. It may
cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in personal injuries.

Seat belt precautions
Lexus strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be
properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure
to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of
injury in accidents.
Child. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belts.
See "Child restraint" for details.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit
in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's seat belt.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn
properly. Do not let the child sit on your lap. It does not provide
sufficient restraint. If an accident occurs and the seat belts are not
worn properly, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag may cause
severe injury to the child.
Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front
seats. An unrestrained child could suffer serious injury during
emergency braking or a collision.
Pregnant woman. Lexus recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask
your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be
worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the
waist.
