6-3. Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision
WARNING
Make sure the "AIR BAG OFF" indica-
●
tor light is not illuminated when using
the seat belt extender for the front pas-
senger seat. If the "AIR BAG OFF"
indicator light is illuminated, discon-
nect the extender tongue from the seat
belt buckle, and reconnect the seat
belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the "AIR BAG ON"
indicator light is illuminated. If you use
the seat belt extender while the "AIR
BAG OFF" indicator light is illumi-
nated, the SRS airbags for the front
passenger will not activate, which
could cause death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.
●
Do not apply a heavy load to the front
passenger seat or equipment (e.g.
seatback pocket or armrest).
●
Do not put weight on the front passen-
ger seat by putting your hands or feet
on the front passenger seat seatback
from the rear passenger seat.
Do not let a rear passenger lift the
●
front passenger seat with their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs.
Do not put objects under the front pas-
●
senger seat.
Do not recline the front passenger
●
seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat. This may cause the "AIR BAG
OFF" indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags
for the front passenger will not activate
in the event of a severe accident. If the
seatback touches the rear seat, return
the seatback to a position where it
does not touch the rear seat. Keep the
front passenger seatback as upright as
possible when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seatback excessively
may lessen the effectiveness of the
seat belt system.
●
If an adult sits in the front passenger
seat, the "AIR BAG ON" indicator light
is illuminated. If the "AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is illuminated, ask the passen-
ger to sit up straight, well back in the
seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat
belt worn correctly. If the "AIR BAG
OFF" indicator still remains illumi-
nated, either ask the passenger to
move to the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front passenger
seat fully rearward.
When it is unavoidable to install a for-
●
ward-facing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, install the
child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat in the proper order.
(
P.69)
Do not modify or remove the front
●
seats.
●
Do not kick the front passenger seat or
subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to
indicate a malfunction of the front pas-
senger occupant classification system.
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer
immediately.
●
Child restraint systems installed on the
rear seat should not contact the front
seatbacks.
●
Do not use a seat accessory, such as a
cushion and seat cover, that covers the
seat cushion surface.
Do not modify or replace the uphol-
●
stery of the front seat.
