For safety and security
RX350L: Rear side airbags (outboard second-row seats)
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 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.98)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.278)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.314)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.404)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.412)
●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.60)
• 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 threshol d 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 the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
●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
will deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact
force produced by an approximately
3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction per-

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning lights not come on
when you start the engine, this could
mean that these systems are not available
to help protect you in an accident, which
could result in death or serious injury.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.

Before driving
Rear seats
WARNING
■When a rear seatback is folded
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not fold down the rear seatbacks
while driving.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, apply
the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded
rear seatback or in the luggage com-
partment while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the lug-
gage compartment.
■When operating the rear seatback
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Make sure that passengers are clear of
the rear seatback before operating it.
●To prevent hands and other body parts
from being caught, keep them away
from the gaps in the seats and the mov-
ing parts of the seat s when operating a
rear seatback.
●Power seat: Do not let children oper-
ate the rear seatback. Other passen-
gers may get caught in the seat.
●Power seat: Make sure that all passen-
gers are clear of a seat before folding
it. Do not let passeng ers sit in the seat
while it is being folded.
■Seat adjustment
Second-row seats: To reduce the risk of
sliding under the lap belt during a colli-
sion, do not recline the seat more than
necessary.
If the seat is reclin ed excessively, the lap
belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen,
or your neck may contact the shoulder
belt, increasing the ri sk of death or seri-
ous injury in the event of an accident.
■After adjusting the rear seats
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Make sure that the rear seatback is
securely locked in position by lightly
pushing it back and forth.
●Check that the seat belts are not
twisted or caught between or behind
in the rear seatback.
●Arrange the seat belts in the proper
positions for ready use.
■Jam protection function (power seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to
intentionally activa te the jam protec-
tion function.
●The jam protection function may not
operate if something is caught just
before the fully folded position. Be
careful so that finger s, etc. do not get
caught.
●The jam protection function may not
operate depending on the shape or
position of the obstruction. Be careful
so that fingers, etc. do not get caught.
