All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Lexus policy
of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at
any time without notice.
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

sound coming from under the vehicle
for several minutes. This is the sound of
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

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.

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:
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.
• Engine speed/Electric motor speed
(traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems, such as the ABS and
pre-collision system
• Images from the front camera (available only when certain safety systems are activated, which varies
depending on the vehicle specifications).
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
Page 8
8
performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
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.
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:
• 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.
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 the airbags, seat belt
pretensioners, wireless remote control
Page 9
batteries, and the batteries in the tire
WARNING
pressure warning valve and transmitters.
■ 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.
9
■ 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 panoramic 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.

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.
● Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor
mats in place.
Always align the marks .
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illustration.
■ Before driving
● Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
● With the engine stopped and the shift
lever in P, fully depress each pedal to
the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floor mat.

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.122)
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.122)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
(P.137)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
(P.26)
● Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
● 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.26)
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. (P.45)

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.
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm.
● Always wear your seat belt low and
snug across your hips.
● RX350L: Do not let third-row seat
passengers to use second-row seat
seat belts.
■ 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.

■ Seat belt damage and wear
● Do not damage the seat belts by allow-
ing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
● Inspect the seat belt system periodi-
cally. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt
until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts
cannot protect an occupant from
death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are
locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus
dealer.
● Replace the seat assembly, including
the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if
there is no obvious damage.
● Do not attempt to install, remove,
modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs
carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.
Adjust the position of the seatback.
Sit up straight and well back in the
seat.
Do not twist the seat belt.
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
● Use a child restraint system appropriate
for the child, until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle’s
seat belt. (P.45)
● When the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt
usage. (P.26)

Seat belt pretensioners (front
seats and outboard second-row
seats)
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 or side collision or a
vehicle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact or a rear impact.
● 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.
● 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.

■ 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.

RX350L: Rear side airbags (outboard second-row seats)
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 sensors etc.
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.
● All of the doors will be unlocked.
(P.98)
● The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. (P.278)
● The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. (P.314)
● The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. (P.404)
● Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
(P.412)
● For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations
occur, 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.60)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■ 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 seat cushion airbag on the front
passenger seat will not operate if the
occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
■ 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

approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 30 km/h]).
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will
deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
● All 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
ever 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
■ 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.
● Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger compartment
● Collision from the side at an angle
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, when-

■ When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
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

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:
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.
● 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.
Page 37
WARNING
● 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. (
● Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
P.45)
1-1. For safe use
● 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
passenger seats toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
● 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.

as a door, windshield, side windows,
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip.
● Do not hang coat hangers or other
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.
● 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 and SRS seat cushion airbag
inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side airbags and
SRS seat cushion airbag from activating correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags and SRS seat
cushion airbag 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 or the front doors. 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.
● 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 SRS front airbags for the front passenger may not
deploy in the event of a collision.
■ 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
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and

● Do not put objects under the front pas-
senger seat.
● Do not recline the front passenger
seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags
for the front passenger will not activate
in the event of a severe accident. If the
seatback touches the rear seat, return
the seatback to a position where it
does not touch the rear seat. Keep the
front passenger seatback as upright as
possible when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seatback excessively
may lessen the effectiveness of the
seat belt system.

● Do not kick the front passenger seat or
subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to
indicate a malfunction of the front passenger occupant classification system.
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer
immediately.
● Child restraint systems installed on the
rear seat should not contact the front
seatbacks.
● 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.

For safety and security
● If an adult sits in the front passenger
seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light
is illuminated. If the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the
seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat
belt worn correctly. If the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front passenger
seat fully rearward.
● When it is unavoidable to install a for-
ward-facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, install the
child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order.

WARNING
1-1. For safe use
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 back door closed.
● If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-
cle even when the back door 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.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine running 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.

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 rear door child-protector
lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door
while driving or operating the
power window accidentally.
(P.100, 147)
Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.
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 second-row
seat. Be sure to follow the installation method that is in the operation
manual enclosed with the restraint
system.

For safety and security
■ 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,
the moon roof or panoramic 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.

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 second-row seat.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained
in the second-row 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 luggage compartment.

Safety information for Safety
Connect
Important! Read this information about
exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in
your vehicle is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international standards bodies.
120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and industries
reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to those standards.
