Lexus NX 300h 2020 Owner's Manual page 41

WARNING
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
●
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield, side door glass,
front or rear pillar, roof side rail and
assist grip.
Do not hang coat hangers or other
●
hard objects on the coat hooks. All of
these items could become projectiles
and may cause death or serious injury,
should the SRS curtain shield airbags
deploy.
If a vinyl cover is put on the area where
●
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be
sure to remove it.
1-1. For safe use
Do not use seat accessories which
●
cover the parts where the SRS side air-
bags and SRS seat cushion airbag
inflate as they may interfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such accesso-
ries may prevent the side airbags and
seat cushion airbag from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause
the side airbags and seat cushion air-
bag 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 air-
bags 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 air-
bags for the front passenger may not
deploy in the event of a collision.
