1221-7. Safety information
Your vehicle is equipped with AD VANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicl e safety standards (FMV SS208). The airbag sen-
sor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on information
obtained from the sensors etc. show n in the system components diagram
above. This information includes cras h severity and occupant informa-
tion. As the airbags deploy, a chemica l reaction in the infla tors quic kly fills
the airbags with non-toxi c gas to help restrain th e motion of the occu-
pants.■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Bruising and slight abrasion s 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, 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 SR S 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 ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emer-
gency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (  P. 6 4 2 )■
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 situa-
tions:
• 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

Before driving CAUTION■
SRS airbag precautions ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat. Doing so
will disperse the passenger's weight, wh ich prevents the sensor from detecting
the passenger's weight properly. As a re sult, the SRS front passenger airbag may
not deploy in the event of a collision.■
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, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags●
Repairs, modifications, removal or replace ment of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, 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●
Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or winches●
Modifications to the vehi cle's suspension system●
Installation of elec tronic devices such as mobile two-way radios or CD players●
Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

When driving Display customization
The audio mode display and/or the sh ift position and shift range display
can be shown or hidden.
Press and hold the head-up display
main switch change s the display to
the display on/off mode.
Press the head-up display main
switch to select the desired setting
item. Press and hold the head-up
display main switch to turn the dis-
play on/off. Customization can be performed
when the head-up display is on and
the vehicle is traveling at less than
5 mph (8 km/h).■
Brightness of the head-up display
The headlight control sensor detects the brightness of the area surrounding the
head-up display and adjusts th e brightness accordingly. (  P. 2 1 3 )■
Head-up display
The head-up display may seem dark and hard to see when viewed through sun-
glasses, especially polarized sunglasses.
Adjust the brightness of the head-up display or remove your sunglasses.
CAUTION
■
Before using the head-up display
Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display image does not inter-
fere with safe driving. Incorrect adjustme nt of the image's po sition or brightness
may obstruct the driver's view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.

When driving Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push the
lever away from you to turn on
the high beams. Pull the lever toward you to the
center position to turn the high
beams off.
Pull the lever toward you to turn
on the high beams. Release the lever to turn them off.
You can flash the high beams with
the headlights on or off.■
Daytime running light system ●
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the daytime running lights
turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is
released. Daytime running lights ar e not designed for use at night.
Type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch.●
Compared to turning on th e headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.■
Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

■
Automatic light off system ●
When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds
after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. (The lights turn off immediately
if on the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)●
When only the tail lights ar e on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off
and the driver’s door is opened.
