1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
Front impact sensors
Side impact sensors (door)
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag sys-
tem is 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.
■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 seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may
be hot for several mi nutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●Vehicles with ERA-GLONASS: If the
SRS airbags deploy, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the
“SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance
required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps
to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P.299)*: In some cases, the call cannot be made.
( P.300)
■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 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] 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 the seat belt preten-sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh old level (the level
of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction per- pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 -
18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side colli- sion.
●For Russia and Kazakhstan: Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
■Conditions under which the SRS air- bags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not come on
when you start the engine , this could mean that these systems are not available to help protect you in an
accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

Check that the shift position indicator shows D.
2 If the parking brake is in manual
mode, release the parking brake.
( P.187)
3 Gradually release the brake pedal
and gently depress the accelerator
pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
■Stopping
1 With the shift position in D, depress
the brake pedal.
2 If necessary, set the parking brake.
If the vehicle is to be stopped for an
extended period of time, shift the shift posi- tion to P. ( P.175, 181)
■Parking the vehicle
1 Stop the vehicle completely.
2 If the parking brake is in manual
mode, set the parking brake.

4 Press the engine switch switch> to stop the engine system>.
5 Slowly release the brake pedal.
6 Lock the door, making sure that you
have the electronic key on your
person.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels as
needed.
■Starting off on a steep uphill
1 Make sure that the parking brake is
set with the brake pedal depressed,
and then shift the shift position to D.
The hill-start assist control will be activated.
( P.262)
2Release the brake pedal and gently
depress the accelerator pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■For fuel-efficient driving (LC500h)
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar
to conventional vehicles, and it is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration, etc. Refer to “Hybrid vehicle
driving tips”. ( P.267)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on
an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the
steering and brakes from operating prop- erly.
Driving the vehicle
The following procedures should be
observed to ensure safe driving:
