Intrusion sensor (if equipped)
The sensor detects an intruder or movement in the vehicle. When
an intruder or movement is detected, the alarm will be triggered.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
For details about the alarm, refer to “Alarm”.
Canceling the intrusion sensor (if equipped)
The operation of sensor can be canceled using the satellite
switches.
(P. 365)
System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
Points to remember before locking the doors
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm, make sure to check the fol-
lowing before locking the doors:
Nobody is in the vehicle.
The windows and moon roof are closed before the alarm is set.

1-7. Safety information
IS250/220d/200d_EE
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying
(inflating) SRS airbag.
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, and parts of the front pillar, rear pillar and roof
side rail, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be
hot.
The windshield may crack.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (front airbags)
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or
deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision
(e.g. a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of
the vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front
airbags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force
corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg
[3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen-
dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30
km/h
[12 - 18 mph]).

When to contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional
In the following cases, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional, as soon as possible.
Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an acci-
dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS airbags to inflate.
A portion of the doors is damaged or
deformed, or the vehicle was involved
in an accident that was not severe
enough to cause the SRS side airbags
and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard or lower portion of the
instrument panel is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
The surface of the seats with the side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
The portion of the front pillars, rear
pillars or roof side rail garnishes (pad-
ding) containing the curtain shield air-
bags inside is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
