WARNING
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 air-
bags from deploying correctly, may
disable the system or cause the SRS
airbags to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly 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 possi-
ble 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 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 air-
bags for the front passenger's seat may
not deploy in the event of a collision.
■

bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifications

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