Page 37 1-1. For safe use Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sen- sors etc. shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information.
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 42 1-1. 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 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] 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 44 1-1. For safe use Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags ■ (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

Page 53 1-1. For safe use Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the LATCH anchors or the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.
Page 54 1-1. For safe use Types of child restraints Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child: Rear facing  Infant seat/convert- Forward facing  Convertible   ible seat seat Booster seat ...
Page 55 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 56 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. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
Page 57 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 compati- ble with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 58 1-1. For safe use Installation with LATCH system Fold the seatback forward. Then return the seatback and secure it at the first lock position (most upright position). (P. 120) Type A  Flip the cover (vehicles with third seats), and latch the hooks of the lower straps onto the LATCH anchors.
Page 59 1-1. For safe use Type B  Flip the cover (vehicles with third seats), and 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.
Page 60 1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints using a seat belt (child restraint lock function belt) Rear-facing  Infant seat/convertible seat ■ Fold the seatback forward. Then return the seatback and secure it at the first lock position (most upright position). (P. 120) Place the child restraint system on the seat facing the rear of the vehicle.
Page 61 1-1. For safe use While pushing the child restraint system down into the 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 62 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 63 1-1. For safe use Booster seat ■ Fold the seatback forward. Then return the seatback and secure it at the first lock position (most upright position). (P. 120) Place the child restraint system on the seat facing the front of the vehicle.

For safe use Child restraint systems with a top tether strap Secure the child restraint system using the seat belt or LATCH anchors and move the head restraint in place at the upmost position. Open the anchor bracket cover, latch the hook onto the anchor bracket and tighten the top tether strap.
Page 65 1-1. For safe use CAUTION When installing a booster seat ■ To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to the child.
Page 66 1-1. For safe use CAUTION When installing a child restraint system ■ When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned ● across the center of the child’ s shoulder.

Page 469 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Tire pressure warning system Your Lexus is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pres- sure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise. If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is warned by a warning light.
Page 470 A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location 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 471 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Tire types ■ Summer tires ● Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended.
Page 472 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 473 Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. ● Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear. Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Lexus. ● Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
Page 474 When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire.
