Airbag system components
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly.
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an air-
bag sensor.
In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag
system triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the
inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants. Knee airbags

CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy,
be sure to remove it.
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side air-
bags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components shown on P. 111.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad and front pillar garnish, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced
by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

CAUTION
Child restraint precautions
Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 140)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back
as possible, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with consid-
erable 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 pillar, 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.
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 sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
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 inju-
ries 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 restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch
is on.
(P. 140)
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the
event of an accident.
For Russia
Except for Russia: A warning label on
the passenger side instrument panel
reminds you not to install a rear-facing
child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat.
For Russia: There is a sticker on the
passenger side of the instrument panel
and a label on both sides of the passen-
ger side sun visor, both indicating it is
forbidden to attach a rear-facing child
restraint system to the front passenger
seat.
Details of the label on the passenger
side sun visor are shown in the illustra-
tions below The label includes infor-
