AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins gonflables
SRS latéraux se déploient, car ces access oires pourraient entraver le déploiement
des coussins gonflables. De tels accesso ires peuvent empêcher les coussins gon-
flables latéraux de se déployer correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provo-
quer accidentellement le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux,
occasionnant des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pr ession importante à l’emplacement des
composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais foncti onnement des coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussi ns gonflables SRS immédiatement après
leur déploiement (gonflage), ca r 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.

Ne mettez pas votre véhicule au rebut et n’effectuez aucune des modifications sui-
vantes sans d’abord consulter votre conces sionnaire Lexus. Les coussins gonflables
SRS pourraient fonctionner de manière incorrecte ou se déployer (gonfler) acciden-
tellement, ce qui serait susceptible d’o ccasionner des blessures graves, voire mor-
telles.
