321-1. For safe use
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not gen-
erally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a 
rear collision, if it pitches end over end, or if 
it is involved in a low-speed side or 
low-speed frontal collision.
●Collision from the rear
●Pitching end over end
■When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will 
require inspection and/or repair. Contact 
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been 
inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or 
deformed, or was involved in an accident 
that was not severe enough to cause the 
SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding 
area is damaged or deformed, or the 
vehicle was involved in an accident that 
was not severe enough to cause the SRS 
side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, 
dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument 
panel is scratched,  cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side 
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars 
or roof side rail ga rnishes (padding) con-
taining the SRS curtain shield airbags 
inside is scratched,  cracked, or otherwise 
damaged.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions 
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the 
vehicle must wear  their seat belts 
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental 
devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with 
considerable force, and can cause 
death or serious injury especially if the 
driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHT SA) advises: Since 
the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the 
first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, 
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from 
your driver airbag provides you with a 
clear margin of safety. This distance is 
measured from the center of the steering 
wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less 
than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can 
change your driving position in several 
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as  you can while still reaching the pedals 
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many 
drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 
mm) distance, even with the driver seat 
all the way forward, simply by reclining 
the back of the se at somewhat. If 
reclining the back of your seat makes it 
hard to see the road, raise yourself by 
using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or 
raise the seat if your vehicle has that 
feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt  it downward. This points the airbag 
toward your chest instead of your head 
and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recom-
mended by NHTSA above, while still 
maintaining control of the foot pedals, 
steering wheel, and your view of the 
instrument panel controls.
●If the seat belt extender has been con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles 
but the seat belt extender has not also 
been fastened to the latch plate of the 
seat belt, the SRS  front airbags will 
judge that the driver and front passen-
ger are wearing the seat belt even 
though the seat belt has not been con-
nected. In this case, the SRS front air-
bags may not activate correctly in a 
collision, resulting in death or serious 
injury in the event of a collision. Be 
sure to wear the seat belt with the seat 
belt extender.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also 
deploys with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious injury 
especially if the front passenger is very 
close to the airbag. The front passen-
ger seat should be  as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback 
adjusted, so the front passenger sits 
upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained 
infants and children can be killed or 
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. 
An infant or child who is too small to 
use a seat belt should be properly 
secured using a child restraint system. 
Lexus strongly recommends that all 
infants and children be placed in the 
rear seats of the vehicle and properly 
restrained. The rear  seats are safer for 
infants and children than the front pas-
senger seat. (
P.41) 

341-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or 
lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of 
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or 
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants 
to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof 
side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the 
passenger seats toward the door or 
put their head or hands outside the 
vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower 
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles 
when the SRS driver, front passenger 
and knee airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such 
as a door, windshie ld, side windows, 
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and 
assist grip.
●Do not hang coat hangers or other 
hard objects on the  coat hooks. All of 
these items could become projectiles 
and may cause death or serious injury, 
should the SRS curtain shield airbags 
deploy.

For safety and security
WARNING
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where 
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be 
sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories which 
cover the parts where the SRS side air-
bags inflate as they may interfere with 
inflation of the SRS airbags. Such 
accessories may prevent the side air-
bags from activating correctly, disable 
the system or cause the side airbags to 
inflate accidentally, resulting in death 
or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels 
of force to the area of the SRS airbag 
components. Doing so can cause the 
SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component 
parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they 
may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the 
SRS airbags have deployed, open a 
door or window to allow fresh air in, or 
leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. 
Wash off any residue as soon as possi-
ble to prevent skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are 
stored, such as the  steering wheel pad 
and front and rear pillar garnishes are 
damaged or cracked, have them 
replaced by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as a cush-
ion, on the front passenger’s seat. 
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s 
weight, which prevents the sensor 
from detecting the passenger’s weight 
properly. As a result, the SRS front air-
bags for the front passenger may not 
deploy in the event of a collision.
■Modification and disposal of SRS air-
bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifications 
without consulting your Lexus dealer. 
The SRS airbags may malfunction or 
deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing 
death or serious injury.
●Installation, remova l, disassembly and 
repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or 
replacement of the steering wheel, 
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or 
seat upholstery, front, side and rear pil-
lars or roof side rails
●Repairs or modifications of the front 
fender, front bumper, or side of the 
occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, 
kangaroo bar, etc. ), snow plows, 
winches or roof luggage carrier
●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspen-
sion system
●Installation of elec tronic devices such 
as mobile two-way radios and CD 
players
●Modifications to your vehicle for a per-
son with a physical disability

WARNING
■If a safety system  warning light does 
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the 
ABS and SRS warning light not come on 
when you start the engine, this could 
mean that these systems are not available
