Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US 
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) 
controls airbag deployment  based on information obtained from the sensors etc. 
shown in the system components diagram  above. This information includes crash 
severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in 
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with no n-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of 
the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may 
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the 
extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) 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 seat s, parts of the front 
and rear pillars, and r oof side rails may be 
hot for several minutes. The airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.262)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.340)
●For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to send an 
emergency call to the response center, 
notifying them of the vehicle’s location 
(without needing to push the “SOS” but-
ton) and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain the level 
of emergency and assi stance required. If 
the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the 
call as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary  emergency ser- vices.(
P.289)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear- end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment  conditions (SRS 
front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the 
event of an impact that exceeds the set 
threshold level (the  level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18 
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be 
considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• 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 th e seat belt preten-
sioners and SRS knee  airbags will acti-
vate.
●The SRS front airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat. 
However, the SRS front airbags for the 
front passenger may deploy if luggage is

■Detection range of the sensorsApproximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.1 ft. (65 cm)
The diagram shows the detection range of 
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot 
detect objects that are extremely close to 
the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change 
depending on the shape of the object, etc.
■Multi-information display, head-up display (if equipped) and Center Display
When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distance to the object will 
be displayed on the multi-information display, Center Di splay, and head-up display 
(if equipped). (As the distan ce to the object becomes sh ort, the distance segments 
may blink.) 
 Approximate distance to  object: 4.9 ft. (150 cm) to 2.1 ft. (65 cm)

Votre véhicule est doté de COUSSINS  GONFLABLES ÉVOLUÉS dont la con-
ception s’appuie sur les normes de sécurité des véhicules à moteur américains 
(FMVSS208). Le module de  capteur de coussin gonflable (ECU) contrôle le 
déploiement des coussins gonflables en fonction des informations obtenues des 
capteurs et d’autres éléments affichés dans le diagramme des\
 composants du sys-
tème ci-dessus. Ces informations compre nnent des données relatives à la gravité 
de l’accident et aux occupants. Au mome nt du déploiement des coussins gonfla-
bles, une réaction chimique se produit dans  les gonfleurs de coussin gonflable et 
les coussins gonflables se remplissent rapidement d’un gaz non toxique pour aider 
à limiter le mouvement des occupants.N

■Précautions relatives aux coussins 
gonflables SRS
Observez les précau tions suivantes en 
ce qui concerne les coussins gonflables 
SRS. 
Négliger de le faire pourrait occasionner 
des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les passagers du 
véhicule doivent porter leur ceinture 
de sécurité de la  manière appropriée. 
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des 
dispositifs suppléme ntaires qui doivent 
être utilisés avec le s ceintures de sécu-
