341-1. For safe use
LEXUS NX300 Owners Manual_USA_M78389_en
Front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch
Front impact sensors
Airbag sensor assembly
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, burn s, 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 roof side rails, may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
(  P.101)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.374)
●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 services.
(  P.61)
• 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 con-
siderably 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
possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
●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
put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccu-
pied.
●The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front
passenger seat will not operate if the
occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags

• Using an anchor bracket (for top tether strap): P.58
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A.
as well as Canada now require the use
of child restraint systems.
 Prioritize and observe the warn-
ings, as well as the laws and regula-
Riding with children
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child , until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.
 Use the rear door child-protector
lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door
while driving or operating the
power window accidentally.
( P.103, 139)
 Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, back door,
seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof (if eq uipped) or other fea-
tures of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up or extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child restraint
system to a rear seat. Be sure to fol-
low the installation method that is in
the operation manual enclosed with
the restraint system.

Points to remember

521-2. Child safety
LEXUS NX300 Owners Manual_USA_M78389_en
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt.
■Installing child restraint system
using a seat belt (child restraint
lock function belt)
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.
WARNING
●A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible, and raise the seat to the upper
most position, even if the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated. If
the head restraint interferes with the
child restraint system installation and
the head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat,
front or rear pillars or roof side rails
from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield ai rbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.
●When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that th e shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
●Use child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
●If the driver’s seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the right-
hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passe nger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
