■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 thefront 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.
■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 wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be cons iderably 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 possib le that only the seat belt pretensioners will
activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags w ill 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 vehiclecabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
sp ee d o f 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will de ploy in the event of a severe frontal colli- sion.

561-1. For safe use
RC200t_RC F_EE(OM24728E)
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS side and curtain sh ield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehi cle. Some examples are shown in the illustra-
tion.
■Types of collisions that may not depl oy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a
collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard sur-
face
●Falling into or jumpin g over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

The Pop Up Hood will operate when the vehicle detects an impact such as the
following:
●The front bumper detects a frontal impact equivalent to or greater than that of
a pedestrian while the vehicle being driven within the operational speed range
of approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated by
an impact of threshold level or greater, even in the case of a minor collision
that may not leave a trace on the front bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system may be operated by a collision with a
light or small object or a small animal.)
●In other situations the system may operate when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front bumper, such as the following:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
•Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
Pop Up Hood operational conditions
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has oper-
ated will further raise the h ood and may cause an injury. Do not drive with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possiblycausing an accident.
Do not forcibly push down the hood. As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury. If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. If the Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorizedLexus dealer or repairer, or another du ly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lift- ers may be hot and burn you.

641-1. For safe use
RC200t_RC F_EE(OM24728E)
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure to contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●The Pop Up Hood system cannot be reused once it has operated. Have it replaced by
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes- sional.
■Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate prop erly under the following conditions:
●If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the vehicle. As such impacts may be difficul t to detect, the system may not operate.
●If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways, the system may not operate properly.
■Conditions under wh ich the Pop Up Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
●Colliding with a lying pedestrian
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the
operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specif ied size and inflated to the specified tire
pressure ( P. 679). If tires of a different size are used, the system may not operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be damaged
even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho- rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or anothe r duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so may
cause accidental operation or prevent the sy stem from operating properly. If repair or replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, oranother duly qualified an d equipped professional.
●Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system from oper-ating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating prop-erly.
●Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may prevent
the system from operating properly.
