■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vêtements.
Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et vous occasionner des
blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement des coussins gonflables
SRS en rideau.
●Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploiement du coussin
SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins gon-
flables SRS latéraux se déploient, car ceux-ci pourraient nuire au déploiement de
ces coussins. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins gonflables
latéraux de se déployer correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer
accidentellement le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux, occasionnant
des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pression importante à l’emplacement des
composants de coussins gonflables SRS.
Vous risquez de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonflables
SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS immédiatement
après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer après le déploiement des coussins gon-
flables SRS, ouvrez une portière ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air, ou quittez
le véhicule si vous pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que possible, nettoyez
tous les résidus afin d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stockage des coussins gonflables SRS, notamment le
tampon de volant, la porte de la boîte à gants et les garnitures des montants avant
et arrière, sont endommagés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer par votre conces-
sionnaire Lexus.
