This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed. The EDR is designed
to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a

short period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buck-
led/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded
by the EDR under normal driving con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could com-
bine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle man-
ufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
 Disclosure of the EDR dataLexus will not disclose the data recorded in
an EDR to a third party except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is
obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
The SRS airbag, seat belt pretensioner
devices, Pop Up Hood system and
active roll bar in your Lexus contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags, seat belt
pretensioners, Pop Up Hood micro
gas generators and active roll bar left
as they are, this may cause an accident
such as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag, seat belt pre-
tensioner, Pop Up Hood micro gas
generator system and active roll bar
removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Lexus dealer
before you scrap your vehicle.

For safety and security
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 seats may be hot for sev-
eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be
hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
(  P.97)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.219)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.244)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.306)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.313)
●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.56)
• 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-
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.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side airbags)
The SRS side airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to the impact force produced by
an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a
direction perpendicular to the vehicle ori-
entation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18
mph [20 - 30 km/h]).
