Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and
equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after

a fuel evaporation leakage check and,
it does not indicate a malfunction.
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified
with non-genuine Lexus products.
Modification with non-genuine Lexus
products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.

radio system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injection system
Lexus Safety System +
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated man-
agement
SRS airbag system
Accessories, spare parts and
modification of your Lexus
A wide variety of non-genuine spare
parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not
responsible for their performance,

Be sure to check with your Lexus
dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Vehicle data recording
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
Page 7
7
cated computers that will record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed / Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.
Contact your Lexus dealer for the location
of recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according to
the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record conversations or sounds, and only record
images outside of the vehicle in certain
situations.
Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data
recorded in these computers to Lexus
without notification to you.
Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this
computer to diagnose malfunctions, conduct research and development, and
improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to
a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or
with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the
police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is
not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
Recorded image information can be
erased by your Lexus dealer.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the function is disabled,
data from when the pre-collision system
operates will not be available.
To learn more about the vehicle data
collected, used and shared by
Lexus, please visit
www.lexus.com/privacyvts/
.
Usage of data collected through
Lexus Enform (U.S. mainland only)
If your Lexus has Lexus Enform and if
you have subscribed to those services,
please refer to the Lexus Enform
Telematics Subscription Service
Agreement for information on data
collected and its usage.
To learn more about the vehicle data
collected, used and shared by Lexus,
please visit
www.lexus.com/privacyvts/
.
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such
as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
Page 8
8
period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner
(or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is
obtained
• In response to an official request by the
police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle
safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for
research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may
cause an accident such as fire. Be sure
to have the systems of the SRS airbag
and seat belt pretensioner removed
and disposed of by a qualified service
shop or by your Lexus dealer before
you scrap your vehicle.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in
an EDR to a third party except when:
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may
contain perchlorate. These components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote
control batteries.

WARNING
■ General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive
your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and
be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full
attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■ General precaution regarding chil-
dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING
1-1.For safe use
1-1. For safe use
Before driving
Observe the following before starting off in the vehicle to ensure
safety of driving.
Installing floor mats
Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same model
and model year as your vehicle. Fix
them securely in place onto the carpet.
1 Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s
floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with
the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat
● Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the
driver’s seat.
● Always install the floor mat securely
using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on
top of each other.

For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and
mirror to an appropriate position
before driving.
Correct driving posture
Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean forward to steer. (P.103)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. (P.103)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(P.24)
● Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
● Do not place anything under the front
seats.
Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in
place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
● Always observe the legal speed limit
when driving on public roads.
● When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel
tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to continue driving and take a break immediately.
Correct use of the seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the
vehicle. (P.24)
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. (P.42)

1-1. For safe use
Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle.
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
■ Wearing a seat belt
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat
belt.
● Always wear a seat belt properly.
● 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.
● To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than necessary. The seat belt is most effective
when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
■ Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over
the hips in the same manner as other
occupants, extending the shoulder belt
completely over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as a result of sudden braking or a collision.
■ People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (

Seat belt pretensioners
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision or a vehicle rollover.
The front seat belt pretensioners also activate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact or a rear impact.
● 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.

For safety and security
■ Replacing the belt after the preten-
sioner has been activated
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 pretensioners
● Do not place anything, such as a cush-
ion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight
properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat
may not activate in the event of a collision.

shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash
severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of
the occupants.
■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front
and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
● For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in
the event of a severe rear-end collision,
the system is designed to send an emergency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button) and
an agent will attempt to speak with the
occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the
occupants are unable to communicate,
the agent automatically treats the call as
an emergency and helps to dispatch the
necessary emergency services. (P.53)
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold 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).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
parked vehicle or sign pole, which can
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride
collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
● The SRS front airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat.
However, the SRS front airbags for the
front passenger may deploy if luggage is
put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact
force produced by an approximately
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an
approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 30 km/h]).
● The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy
in the event of vehicle rollover.
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
■ Conditions under which the SRS air-
bags may deploy (inflate), other than a
collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and
curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a
serious impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples are shown in
the illustration.
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
Page 31

or a collision to the side of the vehicle body
other than the passenger compartment.
● Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger compartment
● Collision from the side at an angle
31
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also
deploy under the situations shown in the
illustration.
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
● The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
■ 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.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover

For safety and security
The SRS side airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a
low-speed side or low-speed frontal collision.
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if
it is involved in a low-speed side or
low-speed frontal collision.
● Collision from the rear
● Pitching end over end

require inspection and/or repair. Contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
● The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause the
SRS front airbags to inflate.
● A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged or deformed, or the
vehicle was involved in an accident that
was not severe enough to cause the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
● The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars
or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
■ SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do
so may cause death or serious injury.
● The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger airbag or lower portion of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
● The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
● The driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat belts.
Page 33
WARNING
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the
driver is very close to the airbag. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of
inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250
mm) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250
mm) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many
drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250
mm) distance, even with the driver seat
all the way forward, simply by reclining
the back of the seat somewhat. If
reclining the back of your seat makes it
hard to see the road, raise yourself by
using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or
raise the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt
it downward. This points the airbag
toward your chest instead of your head
and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still
maintaining control of the foot pedals,
steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
1-1. For safe use
● If the seat belt extender has been con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles
but the seat belt extender has not also
been fastened to the latch plate of the
seat belt, the SRS front airbags will
judge that the driver and front passenger are wearing the seat belt even
though the seat belt has not been connected. In this case, the SRS front airbags may not activate correctly in a
collision, resulting in death or serious
injury in the event of a collision. Be
sure to wear the seat belt with the seat
belt extender.
● The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury
especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
● Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag.
An infant or child who is too small to
use a seat belt should be properly
secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all
infants and children be placed in the
rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for
infants and children than the front passenger seat. (

put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
● Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
● Do not allow the front seat occupants
to hold items on their knees.
● Do not lean against the door, the roof
side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
● Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dashboard, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield, side windshield,
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip.
(Except for the speed limit sticker
P.321)
● Do not hang coat hangers or hard
objects on the coat hooks. All of these
items could become projectiles and
may cause death or serious injury,
should the SRS curtain shield airbags
deploy.
Page 35
WARNING
● If a vinyl cover is put on the area where
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be
sure to remove it.
● Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with
inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from
activating correctly, disable the system
or cause the side airbags to inflate
accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels
of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to
malfunction.
● Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS airbags have deployed (inflated) as they
may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are
stored, such as the steering wheel pad
and front and rear pillar garnishes, are
damaged or cracked, have them
replaced by your Lexus dealer.
1-1. For safe use
■ Modification and disposal of SRS air-
bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications
without consulting your Lexus dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or

● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a
cushion and seat cover, that covers the
seat cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the uphol-
stery of the front seat.
● Do not place anything between the
console box and front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the system may not detect
the front passenger properly, leading
to improper operation of the airbags.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
the head restraint does not touch the
ceiling. If the head restraint is left in
contact with the ceiling, the system
may not detect the front passenger

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Keep the trunk lid closed.
● If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-
cle even when the trunk lid is closed,
open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■ When parking
● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.
■ Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked
periodically. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint
or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and repaired
by your Lexus dealer.
1
For safety and security
● Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided,
park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter
the vehicle interior.
● Do not leave the engine running in an
area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and enter
the vehicle.

Riding with children
Child restraint systems
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.
Use the window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.
(P.113)
Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats,
etc.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows
or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold
temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.
Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are precautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint systems, as well as installation methods, etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child
restraint system to a rear seat. Be
sure to follow the installation
method that is in the operation
manual enclosed with the restraint
system.

ings, as well as the laws and regulations for child restraint systems.
Use a child restraint system until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
Choose a child restraint system that
suits your vehicle and is appropriate
to the age and size of the child.
■ When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● For effective protection in automobile
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a
seat belt or child restraint system
which is correctly installed. For installation details, refer to the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint
system. General installation instruction
is provided in this manual.
● Lexus strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that conforms to the weight and 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.
● Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the windshield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.
● Make sure you have complied with all
installation instructions provided with
the child restraint system manufacturer and that the system is properly
secured.
● Keep the child restraint system prop-
erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.

■ When installing a child restraint
system to a front passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install child
restraint systems to a rear seat. When
installing child restraint system to a
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the passenger seat as follows

WARNING
45
Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.
■ When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear-facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. A
child restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be used in
the front passenger seat since there is
no top tether strap anchor for the front
passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the front seat fully rearward, adjust the seat height to the
upper most position, and adjust the
seatback angle to the most upright
position, even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated.
● Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat,
front pillars or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side
and curtain shield airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
● When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
● Use child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
● If the driver’s seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the
right-hand rear seat.

Since the seat belt automatically reels itself,
slowly return it to the stowing position.
3 Sit the child in the child restraint
system. Fit the seat belt to the child
restraint system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and
insert the plate into the buckle.
Make sure that the belt is not
twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is correctly
positioned over the child’s shoulder and
that the lap belt is as low as possible.
■ When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Page 49
WARNING
● 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.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are
securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
● Shake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
● After securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
● When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
When a junior seat (booster seat) is
installed, always ensure that the shoulder
belt is positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept
away from the child’s neck, but not so that
it could fall off the child’s shoulder.
● Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
■ 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. (
P.26)
1-2. Child safety
■ Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system, the seat
belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or
other passengers in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Vehicle status information and indicators
■ Eco driving meter
● The number of blue segments displayed
on the eco driving meter
decreases/increases depending on the
vehicle acceleration. Use this meter as a
guideline when you wish to drive in an
eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel
consumption.
However, on a downward grade where
the vehicle can accelerate without the
accelerator pedal being depressed, the
eco driving meter may not display the
eco-driving state correctly.
● When the shift lever is moved to P, N or
R, the segments will turn gray and the eco
driving meter will not operate.
■ Dimming the analog speedometer light-
ing
The analog speedometer lighting will be
dimmed when the ambient light is bright,
such as during the daytime, and SPORT S
or SPORT S+ mode is selected.
■ Outside temperature display
● In the following situations, the correct
outside temperature may not be displayed, or the display may take longer
than normal to change:
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds
(less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has

■ The information display at low tem-
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.

the passenger door. In this case, take hold
of the driver’s door handle, or use the
wireless remote control or mechanical
key, to unlock the doors.
■ Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery
depletion is minimized by stopping the electronic key from receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and holding
. Confirm that the electronic key indica-
tor flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart access system with push-button start
cannot be used. To cancel the function,
press any of the electronic key buttons.
■ Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the following
situations, the communication between the
electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart access system with push-button start, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer system
from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P.332)
● When the electronic key battery is
depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
● When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the following metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil
inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio
waves) are being used nearby
● When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a
wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital
assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If window tint with a metallic content or
metallic objects are attached to the rear
window
● When the electronic key is placed near a
battery charger or electronic devices
■ Note for the entry function
● Even when the electronic key is within the
effective range (detection areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors
are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or
in a high place, or too close to the rear
bumper center when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument
panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the
door pockets or glove box when the
engine is started or engine switch modes
are changed.
● Do not leave the electronic key on top of
the instrument panel or near the door
pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave reception
conditions, it may be detected by the
antenna outside the cabin and the doors
will become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic key
inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the
effective range, the doors may be locked
or unlocked by anyone. However, only
