Active head restraints (if equipped)

The active head restraint on the front passenger seat will not activate if the seat is
●
unoccupied. However, it may activate during a rear-end collision if luggage is in the
seat or the seat belt is fastened.
Once the active head restraint has activated, the head restraint remains protruded
●
forward and upward. After it has operated, have it repaired at your Lexus dealer.

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which may prevents the sensor from
detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint
may not activate in the event of an accident.

■
Do not put head restraint covers.
●
For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head
●
restraints, contact your Lexus dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from oper-
ating properly during an accident.
