Front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch
Front impact sensors
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 front seat s, parts of the front
and rear pillars, and r oof side rails may be
hot for several minutes. The airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.270)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.344)
●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.54)
• 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 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
front of the vehicle underrides, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only th e seat belt preten-
sioners and SRS knee airbags will acti-
vate.
●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

■Unoccupied
■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may not re cognize him/her as an adult depending on
his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt
*4: For some children, child in se at, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the sys-
tem may not recognize him/her as a child. Factors which may affect this can be the phy-
sique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing ch ild restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward-
facing child restraint system sh ould only be installed on the front passenger seat when it
is unavoidable. ( P.44)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to install the child
restraint system properly. ( P.42)
