WARNING

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.

When the child restraint system is not in use

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 trunk. If a head restraint was removed when installing a child

restraint system, always install the head restraint before driving. This will prevent it

from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

WARNING

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. 37)

When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the

child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly 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 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.

Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does

not interfere with the child restraint system.

Only put a forward-facing child restraint sys-

tem on the front seat when unavoidable.

When installing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger seat,

move the seat as far back as possible even if

the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-

nated. Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

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. The belt should be kept away from the child’s

neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder. Failing to do so may result in

death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-

dent.

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.

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

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.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the

anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system. Make sure

the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to

the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an

accident.

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 trunk lid closed.

If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle 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.

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.

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.

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the system is
designed to automatically call the response center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occu-
pants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to commu-
nicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the
nearest emergency services provider to describe the situation, and requests
that assistance be sent to the location.

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local authorities to
assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing a police report,
call the Safety Connect response center at 1-800-25-LEXUS (1-800-255-
3987) in the United States, 1-877-539-8777 in Puerto Rico or 1-800-265-
3987 in Canada, and follow the prompts for Safety Connect to initiate this
service.
In addition to assisting law enforcement with recovery of a stolen vehicle,
Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle. Further informa-
tion is available at Lexus.com.

Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to reach the
Safety Connect response center. The answering agent will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the emergency, and dispatch the necessary assis-
tance required.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the response-center agent that you

are not experiencing an emergency.

Enhanced Roadside Assistance

Enhanced Roadside Assistance adds GPS data to the already included war-
ranty-based Lexus roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connect response-
center agent, who can help with a wide range of needs, such as: towing, flat
tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a description of the Roadside Assistance services

Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.

Exposure to radio frequency signals

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 fol-
lowing U.S. and international standards bodies.

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]

ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection)
[1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians 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.

The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the engine
from starting if a key has not been previously registered in the vehicle’s on-
board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not guarantee
absolute security against all vehicle thefts.
