1-8. Safety information
CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
■
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has 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 the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and
●
front pillar garnish, are damaged or cracked, have them 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 passenger airbag may
not deploy in the event of a collision.

Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications with-
out consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy
(inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
