The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive
chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left
as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of
the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Lexus dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Scrapping of your Lexus
CAUTION
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination,
which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers
or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts
the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or
others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or
use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows, the
moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely
cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to
the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●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 sev-
eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system is designed
to send an emergency call* to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), 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 emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P. 504)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 506)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion air-
bag)
●The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an
approximately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] 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
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretension-
ers will activate.
●Front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front passenger airbag
will not activate, if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. How-
ever, the SRS front passenger airbag may deploy, if luggage is put in the seat, or the
seat belt is fastened, even if the seat is unoccupied.

1181-2. Theft deterrent system
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Auxiliary battery
●The anti-theft device has a built-in auxiliary battery, which is used when the vehicle’s
battery is discharged or has been removed. Make sure that you replace the auxil-
iary battery in good time so that the anti-theft device can function properly in emer-
gency situations.
●The replacement interval of the auxiliary battery will differ according to the envi-
ronment in which it is used. The auxiliary battery has a minimum lifetime of 12
months in normal use conditions. Comply with the replacement interval outlined by
your service provider.
■Certifications for the anti-theft device

■Automatic Collision Notification
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call the
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).* The responding agent
receives the vehicle's location and attempts to speak with the vehicle
occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable
to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emer-
gency, contacts the nearest emergency services provider to describe
the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to the location.
* : In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 506)
ERA-GLONASS
: If equipped
ERA-GLONASS is a telematics service that uses Global Navigation
Satellite System (GLONASS) data and embedded cellular technology
to enable the following emergency calls to be made: Automatic emer-
gency calls (Automatic Collision No tification) and manual emergency
calls (by pressing the “SOS” button). This service is required by Eur-
asian Customs Union Regulations.

riencing an emergency.

indicator lights indicate the following:
●If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is
enabled.
●If the green indicator light flashes, an emergency call is being made
(either automatically or manually).
●If no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
●If the red indicator light illuminates any time other than immediately
after the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the system
may be malfunctioning or the backup battery may be depleted. Con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
The service life of the backup battery is 3 years or more.
