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.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.96)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.246)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.275)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.352)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.360)
●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.

• 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
possible that only the seat belt preten-

●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 detecting 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 detected 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.
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 Display, and head-up dis-
play. (As the distance to the object becomes short, the distance segments may
blink.)
Approximate distance to object: 4. 9 ft. (150 cm) to 2.0 ft. (60 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 cein-
ture de sécurité de la manière appro-
priée.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des
dispositifs suppléme ntaires qui doivent
être utilisés avec le s ceintures de sécu-
