2006 LEXUS LX470 airbag off

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
163
Never install a rearfacing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator light indicates
“OFF”. In the event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat
as far back as possible even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator light indicates
“OFF”, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise,
the child may be killed or seriously injured. Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part
of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the
side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbags and curtain shield
airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
 Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a
child restraint system on the front or rear passenger
seat. If installing a child restraint system with the
seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, 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 collision.
 Make sure you have complied with all installation
instructions provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and that the system is properly
secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause
death or serious injury to the child in the event of a
stop or accident.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
176Install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification system. In order to
activate
the occupant classification system correctly, install the
forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat in the following order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
without putting your weight on the front passenger seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode.
When the belt is then retrac ted even slightly, it cannot be
extended. To hold the seat securely, make sure the belt is in the
lock mode before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat
cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it
will go to hold the convertible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child r estraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions pr ovided by its manufacturer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint system and secure the child,
complying with the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer. The occupant classification indicator light should indicate
“OFF”
when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and the child
is in the child restraint system after following these procedures.
The “OFF” indicator indicates the SRS front passenger airbag
will not deploy. If the indicator light indicates “ON”, remove the
child restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position. If the indicator light still indicates
“ON” when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, then
the SRS front passenger airbag may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child
restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat. A forwardfacing child
restraint system should only be installed on the front
passenger seat when unavoidable. If you must install
the child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, put the seat in its mo st rearward position, and
install the forwardfacing child restraint system in
the proper order. Otherw ise, the front passenger
occupant classification system cannot detect the
presence of the child rest raint system and the front
passenger airbag could deploy.

 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat
as far back as possible even if the front passenger

of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the
side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
361
In some cases, even if your subscription has expired, the
indicator light may come on. This is due to the time delay
required to process the deactivation of your Lexus Link
System. During this period, when you push the “SERVICES”
button, your call will be forwarded to enrollment. Once the
deactivation process has been completed, the indicator light
will go off.
NOTICE
The indicator light is the
primary means to let you know
the status of your subscription. It is important to be
aware that an active subscription is required to receive
safety and security services. If the indicator light is
disabled, your subscription has expired. If you would
like to renew your subscription for Lexus Link services,
please contact Lexus Link Call Center by pushing the
“SERVICES” button twice, dial toll free 180025 Lexus
(TollFree) (18002553987) and select the option for
Lexus Link, or contact your Lexus dealer.
Automatic notifications of airbag deployment
If an airbag deploys, an emergency signal is sent automatically
to the Lexus Link Call Center. In your vehicle, the system
announces “Impact detected, connecting to Lexus Link
Emergency.” In response to the signal, the Lexus Link Advisor
will a ttempt to communicate with you first. If the advisor cannot
get any response from you, the advisor will locate your vehicle
through the GPS, call the nearest emergency services
provider, describe the situation and your location. If necessary,
the advisor will transfer your call to the emergency services
operator.
NOTICE
This system is only operational in GPS and cellular
coverage areas. Upon subscription expiration, all
Lexus Link services (i.e. automatic notification,
emergency call functions, service call functions,
remote door locking/unlocking function, remote horn
and lights function) are deactivated.

FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF SYSTEM
The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the

collision. To restart the engine after the fuel pump shut off
system activates, turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK”
once and start it.
CAUTION
Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting
the engine. If you find that liquid has leaked onto the
ground, it is the fuel system that has been damaged and
it is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the
engine.
