1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) n Active head restraints l The active head restraint on the front passenger seat will not activate if the seat is unoccupied. However, it may activate during a rear-end collision if luggage is in the seat or the seat belt is fastened. l Once the active head restraint has activated, the head restraint remains pro- 1 truded forward and upward. After it has operated, have it repaired at your Lexus dealer. Before driving CAUTION n 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. n Operating the front passenger's seat from the driver's seat or rear seat Do not operate the front passenger's seat when a passenger is seated in it. In addition, do not let anyone sit down in the front passenger's seat while the seat is being operated. The front passenger may catch their legs between the instrument panel and seat, resulting in injury. n The active head restraint on the front passenger seat Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat. Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which may prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint may not activate in the event of an accident. n Active head restraint precautions l Do not put head restraint covers. l For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head restraints, contact your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from operating properly during an accident. 69
