1351-8. Safety information

Before driving Your vehicle is equipped with AD VANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety st andards (FMVSS208). 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 inflators quickly fills
the airbags with non-toxic gas to he lp restrain the motion of the occu-
pants. ■
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, 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 subscriber s, 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 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 2 6 )■
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 ●
The surface of the seats with the side air-
bag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
●
The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars
or roof side rail garnishes (padding) con-
taining the curtain shield airbags inside is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam-
aged.

1421-8. Safety information
CAUTION■
SRS airbag precautions ●
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean
against the dashboard.
●
Do not allow a child to stand in front of the
SRS front passenger ai rbag 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.

Before driving CAUTION■
SRS airbag precautions
●
If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbags will deploy, be sure
to remove it.●
Do not use seat accessories which cove r 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 parts immediately after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●
If breathing becomes diffic ult 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 and
front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by
your Lexus dealer. ●
Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steer-
ing wheel pad or lower portion of the
instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles when
SRS driver, front passenger and knee air-
bags deploy. ●
Do not attach anything to areas such as the
door, windshield glass, side door glass,
front and rear pillars, roof side rail or assist
grip. ●
Do not hang coat hangers or other 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.

1441-8. Safety information
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 followin g 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 replac ement 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

1521-8. Safety information
CAUTION■
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 depending on
the age and size of the child. Holding a chil d in your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, th e child can be crushed against the wind-
shield, or between you and the vehicle's interior. This may cause death or serious
injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or an accident.●
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 statistics, 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 even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi nated. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if a rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat.●
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger
seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether
strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether
strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possi-
ble and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated, because th e front passenger airbag could inflate with
considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.●
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the
front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
●
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 side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
