Page 31 If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions. Seat belt regulations ■ If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact your Lexus dealer for seat belt replacement or installation. GX460_OM_OM60R28E_(GE)
Page 32 Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more ● than one person at once, including children. Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt ● and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
Page 33 Seat belt pretensioners ■ If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.

Page 37 1-1. For safe use The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag sys- tem is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemi- cal reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
Page 38 An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly recom- mends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and prop- erly restrained.
Page 39 1-1. For safe use WARNING SRS airbag precautions ■ Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail ● or the front, side and rear pillars. Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passen- ● ger seats toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.

For safe use SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) ■ The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh- ● old level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
Page 43 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 vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

Page 48 1-1. For safe use Types of child restraints Child restraint systems are classified into the following 5 groups according to the regulation ECE No.44. Group 0: Up to 10 kg (22 lb.) (0 - 9 months) Group 0+: Up to 13 kg (28 lb.) (0 - 2 years) Group I: 9 to 18 kg (20 to 39 lb.) (9 months - 4 years) Group II:...
Page 49 L2: Suitable for “LEXUS DUO+ (without ISOFIX, 9 to 18 kg [20 to 39 lb.])” approved for the use in this mass group. L3: Suitable for “LEXUS KID (15 to 36 kg [34 to 79 lb.])” approved for the use in this mass group.
Page 50 1-1. For safe use NOTE: : Adjust the seatback to the most upright position. Move the front seat to the rear most position. If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint. If the passenger seat is equipped with a vertical height adjuster, it must be placed in the upper most position.

Page 53 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, 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 54 1-1. For safe use WARNING When the 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. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
