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, deformed or has had a
hole made in it, 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
airbag or lower portio n of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
●The front passenger’s seat cushion sur-
face 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 fron t pillars, rear pillars
or roof side rail ga rnishes (padding) con-
taining the SRS curtain shield airbags
inside is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.

361-1. For safe use
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 (NHTSA) 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 breast-
bone. 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 seat 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 whee l 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
airbags 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.

For safety and security
WARNING
●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
airbag 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.45)
●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.

381-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield, 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.
●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
airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag
inflate as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such accesso-
ries may prevent the side airbags and
SRS seat cushion airbag from activat-
ing correctly, disable the system or
cause the side airbags and SRS seat
cushion airbag 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 or the front doors. Doing
so can cause the SRS airbags to mal-
function.
●Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS
airbags 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
airbags for the front passenger may
not deploy in the event of a collision.
■Modification and disposal of SRS
airbag 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, roof side rails, front door panels,
front door trims or front door speakers
●Modifications to the front door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
●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
