Use only floor mats designed specifi-
cally 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.

2

Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor

WARNING

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 unexpect-

edly 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 Genu-

ine floor mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed for the

driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely

using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-

vided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on

top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bottom-

side up or upside-down.

■

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 hybrid system 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.

your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. (

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

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 pos-

ture 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.

the vehicle clearly, by adjusting the
inside and outside rear view mirrors
properly. (

P.138, 140)

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.

WARNING

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 seri-

ous 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, includ-

ing 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 nec-

essary. 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.

For safety and security

 Extend the shoulder belt so that it

comes fully over the shoulder, but
does not come into contact with the
neck or slide off the shoulder.

 Position the lap belt as low as possi-

ble over the hips.

 Adjust the position of the seatback.

Sit up straight and well back in the
seat.

 Do not twist the seat belt.

WARNING

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (

P.27)

Women who are pregnant should posi-

tion 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 avoid-

ing 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 colli-

sion.

■

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat

belt in the proper way. (

P.27)

■

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, scis-

sors should be used to cut the belt.

■

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 cor-

rectly, 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’s 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. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to incor-

rect operation.

Correct use of the seat belts
