CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
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 passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag 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 the safest for infants and children. (P. 121)
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 drive the vehicle while the
driver or passenger have items resting
on their knees.
