For safety and security
Driver’s seat belt buckle switch
Airbag sensor assembly
Front impact sensors
Pop Up Hood computer assembly
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 seats, 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.103)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.305)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.343)
●The emergency flashers will be turned on
automatically. ( P.418)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
( P.426)
●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.58)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■PCS-linked SRS airbag deployment
control (vehicles with Lexus Safety Sys-
tem + A)
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-
mines that the possibility of a side collision is
high, the SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags will be prepared to operate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags/SRS seat cushion airbags)
●The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cush-
ion airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceed s the set threshold
level (the level of fo rce corresponding 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

your Lexus dealer.

The indicators inform the driver of the
operating state of the vehicle’s various
systems.
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
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.
