Page 26 1-1. For safe use Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags) ■ The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehi- cle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

Page 36 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle’ s interior. Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to ● the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Page 37 1-1. For safe use CAUTION When children are in the vehicle ■ 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 injuries that could result in death.
Page 38: Installing Child Restraints
1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 39 1-1. For safe use Installation with LATCH system Lower the head restraint in place at the lowest position. Widen the gap between the seat cushion and seatback slightly. Type A Latch the hooks of the lower straps onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top...
Page 40 1-1. For safe use Type B Latch the buckles onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. For owners in Canada: The symbol on a child restraint system indicates the presence of a lower connector system.
Page 41 1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints using a seat belt (child restraint lock function belt) Rear-facing Infant seat/convertible seat ■ Place the child restraint system on the rear seat facing the rear of the vehicle. Run the seat belt through the child restraint system and insert the plate into the buckle.
Page 42 1-1. For safe use While pushing child restraint system down into the rear seat, allow the shoulder belt to retract until the child restraint system is securely in place. After the shoulder belt has retracted to a point where there is no slack in the belt, pull the belt to check that it cannot be extended.
Page 43 1-1. For safe use Run the seat belt through the child restraint system and insert the plate into the buckle. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. Fully extend the shoulder belt and allow it to retract to put it in lock mode.

Page 670 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance How to initialize the tire pressure warning system ■ Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the “START STOP ENGINE” <“POWER”> switch off. Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.
Page 671: Registering Id Codes
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or loca- ● tion of a cut or other damage If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer. Replacing tires and wheels ■ If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly.
Page 672 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Low profile tires (P225/45R18 tires) ■ Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
Page 673 In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly. ● • If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.

Page 714: If Your Vehicle Has To Be Stopped In An Emergency
7-1. Essential information If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehi- cle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following procedure: Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it. Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow the vehicle.
Page 715 7-1. Essential information CAUTION If the engine <hybrid system> has to be turned off while driving ■ Power assist for the brakes and steering wheel will be lost, making the brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as possible before turning off the engine <hybrid system>.
Page 716: If Your Vehicle Needs To Be Towed
If your vehicle needs to be towed If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by your Lexus dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type truck or flat bed truck. Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/provin- cial and local laws.
Page 717: Emergency Towing
7-2. Steps to take in an emergency Emergency towing Gasoline vehicles: If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing eyelet. This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads for short distances at low speeds.
Page 718 7-2. Steps to take in an emergency Installing towing eyelet Take out the towing eyelet ( P. 785) Remove the eyelet cover using a flathead screwdriver. To protect the bodywork, place a rag between the screwdriver and the vehi- cle body as shown in the illustration. Insert the towing eyelet into the hole and tighten partially by hand.
