SRS airbag precautions

If the seat belt extender has been con-

nected to the front seat belt buckle but the

seat belt extender has not also been fas-

tened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the

SRS front airbags will judge that the driver

and front passenger are wearing the seat

belt even though the seat belt has not been

connected. In this case, the SRS front air-

bags may not activate correctly in a colli-

sion, resulting in death or serious injury in

the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the

seat belt with the seat belt extender.

The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can

cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the

airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with

the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seri-

ously injured by a deploying airbag. 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. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the

front passenger seat. (P. 64)

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean

against the dashboard.
