Your vehicle is equipped with ADVA NCED 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 sen-
sors etc. shown in the system compon ents diagram above. This information
includes crash severity and occupant info rmation. As the airbags deploy, a chemi-
cal reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-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 hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
(  P.67)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.102)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.248)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.278)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.358)
●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 assistance 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.55)
• 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 situ-
ations:
• 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

and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sounding.
■Conditions under which the function
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability
of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-
ticular instances where this may occur are
listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will
resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the sensor display may be dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a
wall, may not be detected.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to
vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
●There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded
road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■Objects which may not be properly
detected
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detectin g it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
People may not be de tected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
■Detection range of the sensors
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
detect objects that are extremely close to
the vehicle.

Capteurs d’impact avant
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
