Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
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 vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the
windows and have the vehicle inspected at any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer 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
hybrid system.
●
Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system 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 hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is operat-
ing, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
■
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 any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event
that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag man-
ual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment
(inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
■
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which may result in
serious injury or even death.

1-2. Child safety
Riding with children
●
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental con-
tact 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 acci-
dentally. (
P. 126, 248)
●
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats etc.
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.
WARNING
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
(if equipped) 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 prop-
erly 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.
●
The use of a Lexus genuine child restraint system is recommended, as it is
safer to use in this vehicle. Lexus genuine child restraint systems are made
specifically for Lexus vehicles. They can be purchased at a Lexus dealer.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■
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 swerv-
ing, 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.
●
Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or impossible. In
those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suitable for installment in the
vehicle. (
P. 54) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules after carefully read-
ing the child restraint system fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
●
Keep the child restraint system properly 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.

WARNING
■
When using a child restraint system
●
When a junior 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 a child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the
rear seat.
●
Only put a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do
so may result in death or serious injury if the
airbags deploy (inflate).
●
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 or rear pillars, or
roof side rails from which the SRS side air-
bags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy
even if the child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags
and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
●
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.
