WARNING
Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
■
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 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 illumi-
●
nated. If the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger 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 illuminated, 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 forward-facing child restraint system on the front
●
passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (P. 55)
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 passenger
occupant classification system. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seat-
●
backs.
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 upholstery of the front seat.
