CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
■
Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items
●
could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS
curtain 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 seat cushion airbag
from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags and seat
cushion airbag to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
●
components. 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.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door
●
or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. 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 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 passenger's weight properly. As a result, the SRS front passenger airbag may
not deploy in the event of a collision.
