around the door. When the side airbag inflates, the
cup holder or any other device will be thrown with
great force, or the side airbag may not activate
correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.
Likewise, the driver and front passenger should not
hold things in their arms or on their knees.
D Do not use accessories for the seats which cover the
parts where the side airbags should inflate. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from
activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.
D Do not modify or remove any wiring. Do not modify,
remove, strike or open any components, such as the
steering wheel column cover, front passenger airbag
cover, front seats, airbag sensor assembly or seat belt
assemblies. Doing any of these may cause sudden
SRS operation or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury.
D Do not modify or replace the seats or surface of the
front seats with side airbags. Such changes may
disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate,
resulting in death or serious injury. Consult your
Lexus dealer.
