WARNING
SRS airbag precautions
■
If the seat belt extender has been connected
●
to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt
extender has not also been fastened to the
latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front air-
bags will judge that the driver and front pas-
senger are wearing the seat belt even though
the seat belt has not been connected. In this
case, the SRS front airbags may not activate
correctly in a collision, 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 seriously
●
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 recom-
mends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and prop-
erly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front
passenger seat. (P. 53)
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.
Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold
●
items on their knees.
