WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items
could become projectiles and may cause deat h or serious injury, should the SRS cur- tain shield airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to
remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the side airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags and SRS seat cush-
ion airbag to inflate accidentally, re sulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the areas around the SRS airbag components or the front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instru-ment panel.
These items can become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbagsdeploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as adoor, windshield, side windows, front or rearpillar, roof side rail and assist grip. (Except for
the speed limit sticker P. 700)

■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh- old level (the level of force correspon ding 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 cons iderably higher in the following situations:
• 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 possib le that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
●The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front pa ssenger seat will not operate if the occu- pant is not wearing a seat belt.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags w ill deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact forceproduced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle
cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will de ploy in the event of a severe frontal colli-
sion.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
■Types of collisions that may not depl oy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear
collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard sur-face
●Falling into or jumpin g over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

●A portion of a door or its surrounding area is damaged, deformed or has had a hole made init, or the vehicle was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel, dash-board near the front passenger airbag orlower portion of the instrument panel is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The front passenger’s seat cushion surface is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the side airbag is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pillars or
roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the curtain shield airbags inside is scratched,cracked, or otherwise damaged.

●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental con-
tact with the shift lever, wiper switch, etc.
●Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to avoid
children opening the door while drivin g or operating the power window acci-
dentally. ( P. 143, 210)
●Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats etc.
Riding with children
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes
large enough to properly wea r the vehicle’s seat belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use
the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or sh ift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows, the moon roof
or panoramic moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system which is correctly installed. For installation de tails, refer to the operation manual enclosed with the child
restraint system. General installation in struction is provided in this manual.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics,
the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield or between
the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerv- ing, or an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.
●Depending on the child restrain t system, installation may be difficult or impossible. In
those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suitable for installment in the vehicle. ( P. 62, 69) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules after carefully reading the child restraint system fixing me thod in this manual, as well as the opera-
tion manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
●Keep the child restraint system properly secure d on the seat even if it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system un secured in the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. Th e belt should be kept away from the child’s
neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing childrestraint on the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury if theairbags deploy (inflate).
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head orany part of his/her body against the door orthe area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or
roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deployeven if the child is seat ed in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and theimpact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
●If the driver’s seat interferes with the childrestraint system and prevents it from being
attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the right-hand rear seat (left-handdrive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat
(right-hand drive vehicles). ( P. 65, 72)
