AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’autres objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pourraient se tran sformer en projectiles et vous occasionner
des blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement des coussins gonflables
SRS en rideau.
●Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé su r la zone de déploiement du coussin gon-
flable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins gonflables
SRS latéraux se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient entraver le déploiement
des coussins gonflables. De tels accessoi res peuvent empêcher les coussins gon-
flables latéraux de se déployer correcteme nt, rendre le système inopérant ou provo-
quer accidentellement le déploiemen t des coussins gonflables latéraux,
occasionnant des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pression importante à l’emplacement des
composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussi ns gonflables SRS immédiatement après
leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer après le déploiement des coussins gonflables
SRS, ouvrez une portière ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air, ou quittez le véhicule
si vous pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que possible, nettoyez tous les résidus
afin d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stockage des coussins gonflables SRS, tels que le tampon de
volant, la porte de la boîte à gants et les garnitures des montants avant et arrière, sont
endommagés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire Lexus.
●Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager avant. Cela
disperserait le poids du passager, ce qui empêcherait le capteur de le détecter cor-
rectement. Cela pourrait empêcher le dé ploiement des coussins gonflables SRS du
passager avant en cas de collision.
