Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel) Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision system) When the pre-collision sensor detects an obstacle and determines that a collision is unavoidable, the seat belts lessen collision injury by retracting the slack in the front seat belts before the collision, thus restraining the driver and passenger at an earlier stage.
Page 54 Seat belt extender If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a person- alized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
Page 55 Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, including children. Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
Page 56 Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus dealer.

Page 80 1-7. Safety information In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag system triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu- pants.
Page 81 1-7. Safety information Operating conditions (side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passen- ger sitting in the front passenger seat.
Page 82 1-7. Safety information Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
Page 83 1-7. Safety information When to contact your Lexus dealer In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Do not dis- connect the battery cables before contacting your Lexus dealer. Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
Page 84 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Page 85 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.
Page 86 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions 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.
Page 87 Wash off any residue 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 pillar garnish, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Lexus dealer.
Page 88 Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications with- out consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airbag may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
