CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the
SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on
the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to
hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side
rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the pas-
senger seats toward the door or put their
head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steer-
ing wheel pad, lower portion of the instru-
ment panel and door of the glove box.
These items can become projectiles when
the SRS driver, front passenger and knee
airbags deploy.

GS450h_U (OM30D01U)
CAUTION
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items
could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy.
●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 airbags
inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may
prevent the side airbags from activating co rrectly, disable the system or cause the
side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component part s immediately after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have 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,
door of the glove box and front and rear pillar garnishes are damaged or cracked,
have them replaced by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a
door, windshield glass, side door glass, front
or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.

For safety and security
■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 hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as
the seats, the glove box, 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.
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a
severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push
the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascer-
tain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to
communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to
dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P. 6 0 7 )
CAUTION
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perfor m any of the following modifications with-
out consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy
(inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembl y and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, glove box, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars
or roof side rails
●Repairs or modifications of the front fend er, front bumper, or side of the occupant
compartment

accident that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags to inflate.

Operation of each component
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk opener main switch off and lock the glove box as circumstances
demand. (P. 1 4 2 , 5 76 )
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
electronic key only.
■If you lose your mechanical keys
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Lexus dealer using the other
mechanical key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the
plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an
electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed
accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that
could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

1293-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
3
Operation of each component
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the
system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear bumper center when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument pa nel, rear package tray or floor, or in the
door pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch
modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the door
pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception condi-
tions, it may be detected by the ante nna outside the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside the
vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be locked
or unlocked by anyone. However, only th e doors detecting the electronic key can
be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the
hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a large am ount of water splashes on the door han-
dle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds
if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is
near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the
entry function. (Use the wireless re mote control to unlock the doors.)
