For safety and security
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflat-
ing) SRS airbag.
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, 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.
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 corresponding to an approximately 20-30 km/
h [12-18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• 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.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the
impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle collid-
ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orienta-
tion at an approximate speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal
collision.

Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a colli-
sion
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in
the illustration.
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side
or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal colli-
sion. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration
of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
Landing hard or falling
Collision from the side
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags
(SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is sub-
jected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the
vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron-
tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side colli-
sion.
The SRS curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved
in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side or low-
speed frontal collision.
Collision from the side to the vehicle body
other than the passenger compartment
Collision from the side at an angle
Collision from the front*
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover
*: Depending on the conditions and type of
accident, there are times when the curtain
shield airbags may deploy (inflate) in a
front impact.
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover

When to contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Contact
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional 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 airbag
or lower portion of the instrument panel is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
The surface of the seats with the side air-
bag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.

The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars
or roof side rail garnishes (padding) con-
taining the curtain shield airbags inside is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.

Airbag manual on-off system
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indi-
cator
The ON indicator light turns on
when the airbag system is on (only
when the power switch is in ON
mode).
Airbag manual on-off switch
This system deactivates the front passenger airbag, front passenger knee
airbag and front passenger side airbag.
Only deactivate the airbags when using a child restraint system on the
front passenger seat.

tion.
The OFF indicator light turns on
(only when the power switch is in
ON mode).
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunction in
the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Neither ON nor OFF comes on.
The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is
switched to ON or OFF.

When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In the
event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long as the
airbag manual on-off system is set to OFF.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to ON.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which may
result in serious injury or even death.

Safety information for children
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental
contact with the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the power
window accidentally. (P. 136, 178)
Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch
body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
WA R N I N G
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There
is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof (if equipped) or other features of the vehicle. In addition,
heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

Child restraint systems
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear seat is
much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appropri-
ate to the age and size of the child.
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child
restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 6 7 )
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you
reside, please contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint
system installation.
Lexus recommends that you use a child restraint system which con-
forms to the regulation ECE No.44.
Lexus strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.
