If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflat-
ing) SRS airbag.
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
The windshield may crack.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS 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 approximately 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 in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which
can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and 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 collid-
ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orienta-
tion at an approximate speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal
collision.

Safety information for children
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental
contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the power
window accidentally. (P. 136, 178)
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch
body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
WA R N I N G
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There
is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features of the vehicle. In addition,
heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
When you have to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, adjust
the following:
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat
and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 40)
The seatback to the most upright position
The seat cushion to the fully rearward
position

Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly
secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident).
Child restraint precautions
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depend-
ing on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a sub-
stitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms
to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statis-
tics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 5 6 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a
top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top
strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as
possible and always move the seat as far back as possible 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 and rear pillars or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the
child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side 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 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 injuries 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 child restraint system unsecured in the passenger com-
partment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehi-
cle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from
injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
