WARNING
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 inflate as they may interfere
with inflation of the airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side
airbags from activating correctly, dis-
able the system or cause the side
airbags 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 possi-
ble 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 cush-
●
ion, 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 may
not deploy in the event of a collision.
