sion, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low- speed side or low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
For Russia and Kazakhstan: The SRS curtain shield airbags do not ge nerally inflate if the
vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or low-speed frontal colli-
sion.
●Collision from the rear
●Pitching end over end
■When to contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involv ed in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged, deformed or has had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged.

●The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) con-taining the SRS curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat
all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it
hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of your head
and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recom-
mended above, while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel,
and your view of the instrument panel
controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also
deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passen- ger seat should be as far from the air-bag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
WARNING
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag.
An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front pas-senger seat. ( P.48)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehi-cle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.

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-
lars, roof side rails, door panels, door trims or door speakers
●Modifications to the door panel (such
as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars,
kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches or roof luggage carrier
●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspen-sion system
●Installation of electronic devices such
as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans- mitter) and CD players
