WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side window, front or rear pillar and roof side rail.
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of
these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curt ain shield airbags
deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side air- bags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side air- bags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components or the doors. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS air- bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
Wash off any residue as soon as possi- ble to prevent skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad
and front and rear pillar garnishes are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS air-bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifications
without consulting any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy (inflate) acci- dentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pil-
