■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
front 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.
●Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS: If the SRS airbags deploy, the system is designed tosend 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 asce rtain 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. 496)
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 498)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh-
old level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wa ll that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold veloci ty 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 possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will
activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (S RS side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle
cabin from a direction perpendicular to th e vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision.

●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental con-
tact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
●Use the rear door child-pro tector lock or the window lock switch to avoid
children opening the door while drivin g or operating the power window acci-
dentally.
●Do not let small children operate equi pment which may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power window, hood, trunk, seats etc.
Safety information for children
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriat e for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicl e, 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 tempera-
tures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

NOTE:
*1: Adjust the front seatback to the most upright position. Move the front seat cushion to
the fully rearward.
Adjust the seat cushion to the highest position. When the child restraint system
touched the ceiling, lower the seat position.
Follow these procedures • For installing a baby seat with support base
If the baby seat interferes with the seatback when latching the baby seat into the
support base, adjust the seatback rear ward until there is no interference. • For installing a forward-facing child seat
If there is gap between the child seat and the seatback, tilt the seatback rearward
until good contact is achieved.
If the seatbelt shoulder anch or is ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
• For installing a junior seat
If the child in your child rest raint system is in a very upright position, adjust the seat-
back to the most comfortable position.
If the seat belt shoulder an chor is ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat cushion forward.
*2: Remove the head restraint if it interf eres with your child restraint system.
*3: When using the left side seat for the child restraint system, do not sit in the center seat.
The child restraint system mentioned in the table may not be available outside of
the EU area.
Other child restraint systems which are different from the systems mentioned in
the table can be used, but the suitability of the systems must be carefully checked
with the child restraint syst em manufacturer and retailer.

■When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat
■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
●If the child is too large for a child restraint sy stem, sit the child on a rear seat and use the
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P. 38)
When you have to use a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, adjust the following:
●The seatback to the most upright position
●The seat cushion to the highest position
●The seat cushion to the fully rearward position
WARNING
■Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly secure
the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event of sudden braking or an accident).

WARNING
■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 child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, 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, su dden swerve or 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 restra ined in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when the
airbag manual on-off switch is on. ( P. 53)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air- bag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system ma y be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restra int 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 possible and
always move the seat as far back as po ssible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and fo rce. Otherwise, the child may be killed or
seriously injured.
●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, center an d rear pillars or roof side rails from which
the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield ai rbags deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield air- bags inflate, and the impact could caus e death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden
stop, sudden swerve or accident.
■When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around
a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or othe r serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfa stened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
■When the child restraint system is not in use
●Keep the child restraint system properly secure d on the seat even if it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system un secured in the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
