IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
The main SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood components are shown
above. The SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood are controlled by the
airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the
inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the
motion of the occupants. When the Pop Up Hood is activated, a non-toxic
gas is released due to a chemical reaction in the lifters, which causes the
pistons to eject quickly and raise the rear portion of the hood. (Pop Up
Hood: P. 56)

When the sensors located at the back of the front bumper detect an impact
with a body, such as a pedestrian, which meets or exceeds the threshold
level while the vehicle is being driven within the operational speed range,
the system becomes operational and raises the rear portion of the hood.

Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision with a body, such as a pedestrian, the
Pop Up Hood system raises the rear portion of the hood to reduce the
possibility of a serious impact to the pedestrian’s head area by adding
clearance to the engine compartment.

NOTICE
Pop Up Hood precautions
Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the specified
tire pressure (P. 570). If tires of a different size are used, the system may
not operate properly.
If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so
may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating prop-
erly. If repair or replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system
from operating properly.
Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent
the sensors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from
operating properly.
Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may
damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may
prevent the system from operating properly.

841-2. Hybrid system
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
There is an air intake vent on the
right side of the rear seatback for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the vent
becomes blocked, the hybrid battery
may overheat, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery output.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emer-
gency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To restart
the hybrid system, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the instruc-
tions.
