●
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

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 SR S airbag 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 stor ed, such as the steering wheel pad and
front and rear pillar garnishes, are dama ged or cracked, have them replaced by
your Lexus dealer. ●

against areas such as the dashboard, steer-
ing wheel pad or lower portion of the

Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regardin g front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system.
Failure to do so may caus e death or serious injury.●
Wear the seat belt properly. ●
Make sure the front passenger ’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the
buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.●
Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the
seat belt extender for the front passe nger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator
light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect th e seat belt extender after making sure
the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender
while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for the
passenger may not activate correctly, whic h could cause death or serious injury
in the event of collision. ●
Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat. ●
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on
the front passenger seat seatback from the second seat.●
Do not let a second seat pa ssenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs. ●
Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. ●
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a second seat.
This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illumin ated, which indi-
cates that the passenger’s airbags will no t deploy in the event of a severe acci-
dent. If the seatback touches the second seat, return the seatback to a position
where it does not touch the second seat . Keep the front passenger seatback as
upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effectiven ess of the seat belt system.
