Power easy access system (vehicles with driving position memory)
When the driver enters and exits the vehicle, the driver's seat and steering
wheel will automatically perform the following operations:
Exiting the vehicle: When all of the
following actions have been performed,
the steering wheel will
move up and back to the point farthest
away from the driver and the
seat will move backward (auto
away function):
• The shift lever has been shifted to P.
• The “POWER” switch has been
turned off.
• The driver seat belt has been
unfastened.
Entering the vehicle: When either
of the following actions has been
performed, the steering wheel will
move toward the driver and seat
will move forward (auto return
function):
• The “POWER” switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY mode.
• The driver seat belt has been fastened.
Active head restraints
When the occupant’s lower back
presses against the seatback during
a rear-end collision, the head
restraint moves slightly forward
and upward to help reduce the risk
of whiplash to the seat occupant.
The auto away function for exiting the driver seat
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function
may not
operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
Active head restraints
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to
move.
Pushing up a locked head restraint forcibly may appear the head restraint inner
structure. These do not indicate problems.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away
function
can be changed.
CAUTION:
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
While driving
Do not allow passengers to ride on the flattened seat.

Always raise the head restraints to the uppermost lock position during use.
CAUTION:
Head restraint precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the head restraints. Failure to do
so
may result in death or serious injury.
Use the head restraints designed for each respective seat.
Adjust the head restraints to the correct position at all times.
After adjusting the head restraints, push down on them and make sure they are
locked in position.
Do not drive with the head restraints removed.
Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving
the
vehicle.
Correct use of the seat belts
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
possible over the hips.
Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and
well back in the seat.
Do not twist the seat belt.
Fastening and releasing the seat belt

Seat belt comfort guide (outside rear seats)
If the shoulder belt sits close to a person's neck, use the seat belt comfort
guide.
Pull the comfort guide from the
pocket.
Slide the belt past the slot of the
guide.
The elastic cord must be behind
the seat belt.
Buckle the seat belt and position it
comfortably.
Seat belt pretensioners (front and outside rear seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occupant
by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal collision.
The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.
Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with a pre-collision system)
If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the
precollision
system will retract the seat belt, thus enhancing the effectiveness
of the seat belt pretensioner in a crash.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses control
of the vehicle.
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. To allow the belt to extend, retract the belt and
then
pull it slowly.
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted
even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This
feature is
used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,
press the
buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.
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. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder
and position the belt across the chest.
Avoid belt contact over the round part 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.
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.
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 91 regarding seat belt usage.
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner 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 extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a personalized
seat belt extender is available from
your Lexus dealer free of charge.
CAUTION:
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing 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.
Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder.
The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder.
Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause
death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident.
Seat belt pretensioners
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, 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.
CAUTION:
Child restraint lock function belt precaution
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If
the belt
becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull the belt
out
leading 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.
Seat belt damage and wear
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed
in the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. 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 tab 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
of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Using a seat belt comfort guide
Failure to observe the following precautions could reduce the effectiveness of
the
seat belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
Make sure the belt is not twisted and that it lies flat. The elastic cord must
be
behind the belt and the guide must be on the front.
To reduce the chance of injury in case of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or
accident
while driving, remove and store the comfort guide in its pocket when it is not
in use.
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the
shoulder.
The belt should be kept away from the neck, and should not fall off the
shoulder.
CAUTION:
Using a seat belt extender
Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system
because
the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk
of
death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally
intended.
NOTICE:
When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the
extender,
not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
