SRS airbag precautions ●
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or
window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicl e if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-
due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation. ●
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and
front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your
Lexus dealer. ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the pas-
senger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front airbags for the front passenger
may not deploy in the event of a collision. ■
Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without
consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airb ags may malfunction or deploy (inflate)
accidentally, causing de ath or serious injury.●
Installation, removal, disassembl y and repair of the SRS airbags●
Repairs, modifications, removal or replac ement of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails,
front door panels, front door trims, or front door speakers ●
Modifications to the front door pa nel (such as making a hole in it)●
Repairs or modifications of the front fend er, front bumper, or side of the occupant
compartment ●
Installation of a grille guar d (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches or
roof luggage carrier ●
Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system ●
Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD players●
Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (inflation) 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 th e front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several
minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. ●
The windshield may crack. ●
For Lexus Enform Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airb ags deploy or in the event
of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of the vehicl e’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 communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the
necessary emergency services. (  P. 5 4 7 )■
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 corresponding to an approximately 12-18 mph [20-30 km/h]
frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably 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 front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger
sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front passen-
ger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the se at is unoccupied. (  P. 4 9 )●
The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front passenger seat will not operate if the occu-
pant is not wearing a seat belt. ■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (S RS side and curtain shield airbags)●
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags wi ll deploy in the even t of an impact that
exceeds the set threshol d level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force
produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1 500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle
cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 12 -18 mph [20 -30 km/h]). ●
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover. ●
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe frontal colli-
sion.

decrease in the driver's attention level, and displays the decrease in attention
using a bar display.
The shorter the bar length, the more the driver may need to rest. This display is a part of the LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control)/LKA

tions of the vehicle sway warning are met. (  P. 283, 293)■
AWD Control (if equipped)

When adjusting the seat position ●
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat. ●
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the se at mechanism.●
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.■
Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a co llision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is too rec lined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk
of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be ma de while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
