Default Road Triangle

I bought my used 2014 IS250F about 2 months ago. I was reading the book the other day when I was bored and noticed there was two straps in the trunk for a road triangle. I went to my car and noticed there wasn't one there. My question is, did your cars come with one? I do have the First Aid kit tho.

I have a 2015 and it didn't come with the triangle. I reacted the same way after reading the book the first day I picked up the car...I kept telling myself to contact my salesman, but kept forgetting. Due to my laziness, I finally assumed it wasn't included.

The road triangle is actually a dealer option (at least this is the case in Japan and UK) which comes in a soft case/pouch. The straps inside the trunk are for the purpose of storing the following foldable road triangle (scroll to the bottom of the page). List price is 2700 yens which comes to around US$22.

Lexus Japan -

Lexus UK - this one incorporates first aid kit and the road triangle together. (£55)

I was also wondering why the road triangle was not included as some European car models have it as standard equipment.

Probably it is an oversight from Lexus that not every country offers a road triangle kit.
