For safety and security
WARNING
ODo 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.
ODo not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield, side window,
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip.
ODo 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.
OIf a vinyl cover is put on the area where
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be
sure to remove it.
ODo 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.
ODo 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
malfunction.
ODo not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they
may be hot.
OIf 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.
OIf 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.
ODo 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.
QModification 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.
OInstallation, removal, disassembly and
repair of the SRS airbags
ORepairs, 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
OModifications to the front door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
