6-3. Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision
WARNING
●
Do not attach anything to areas such as the doors,
windshield, side windows, front or rear pillars, roof
side rails and assist grips. (With the exception of
the speed limit label )
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. These items could
●
become projectiles if the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, possibly leading to death
or serious injury.
If a vinyl cover is attached to the area where the SRS knee airbag deploys, be sure to
●
remove it.
●
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts from which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent
the SRS airbags from deploying correctly, may disable the system or cause the SRS
airbags to inflate unintentionally, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Do not strike or apply significant force to the SRS airbag system components, front
doors or their surrounding area. Doing so may cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
Do not touch any components of the SRS airbags 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 a part where an SRS airbag is stored is damaged or cracked, have it 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 airbags for the front passenger' s
seat may not deploy in the event of a collision.
■

The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy unintentionally, possibly leading to death or
serious injury.
