SRS airbag precautions
●
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items
could become projectiles and may cause deat h or serious injury, should the SRS cur-
tain shield ai rbags 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 and
SRS seat cushion airbag inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the side ai rbags and SRS seat cushion airbag from
activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbag s and SRS seat cush-
ion airbag to inflate accidentally, re sulting in death or serious injury.●
Do not strike or apply signif icant levels of force to the area of the SR S airbag compo-
nents.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. ●
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may be hot. ●
Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steering
wheel pad and lower portion of the instru-
ment panel.
These items can become projectiles when the
SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags
deploy. ●
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.

SRS airbag precautions ●
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or
window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicl e if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-
due 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 and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your
Lexus dealer. ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the pas-
senger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front airbags for the front passenger
may not deploy in the event of a collision. ■
Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without
consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airb ags may malfunction or deploy (inflate)
accidentally, causing de ath or serious injury.●
Installation, removal, disassembl y and repair of the SRS airbags●
Repairs, modifications, removal or replac ement of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, fr ont, side and rear pillars or roof side rails●
Repairs or modifications of the front fend er, front bumper, or side of the occupant
compartment ●
Installation of a grille guar d (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches or
roof luggage carrier ●
Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system ●
Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD players●
Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Bruising and slight abrasions may result fr om 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
front seats, parts of th e 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” but-
ton) and an agent will attempt to speak wi th the occupants to ascertain the level of
emergency and assistance required. If the oc cupants are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call as an em ergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. (  P. 477)■
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 12-18 mph [20-30 km/h]
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 possib le that only the seat belt pretensioners will
activate. ●
The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger
sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front passen-
ger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the se at is unoccupied. (  P. 5 3 )●
The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front passenger seat will not operate if the occu-
pant is not wearing a seat belt. ■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (S RS side and curtain shield airbags)●
The SRS side and curtain shie ld airbags will deploy in th e event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshol d level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force
produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1 500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle
cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 12 -18 mph [20 -30 km/h]). ●
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover. ●
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may al so deploy in the event of a severe frontal
collision.

When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will re quire inspection and/or repair. Contact your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. ●
Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.●
The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involv ed in an accident that
was not severe enough to cause the SRS front
airbags to inflate. ●
A portion of a door or its surrounding area is
damaged or deformed, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not severe
enough to cause the SRS side and curtain
shield airbags to inflate. ●
The pad section of the steering wheel, dash-
board near the front passenger airbag or
lower portion of the instrument panel is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. ●
The front passenger’s seat cushion surface is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●
The surface of the seats with the side airbag is
