Page 86 1-7. Safety information In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag system triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu- pants.
Page 87 1-7. Safety information Operating conditions (side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side. The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passen- ger sitting in the front passenger seat.
Page 88 1-7. Safety information Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
Page 89 1-7. Safety information When to contact your Lexus dealer In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Do not dis- connect the battery cables before contacting your Lexus dealer. Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
Page 90 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Page 91 An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained.
Page 92 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard. Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
Page 93 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.
Page 94 Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications with- out consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airbag may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.

A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 100) : In case the indicator is not illuminated, consult this manual as for installing the child restraint system properly.
Page 99: Child Restraint Systems
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 detection sys- tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately. Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seat- backs.
Page 100 1-7. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.
Page 101 1-7. Safety information Forward facing Convertible seat Booster seat Selecting an appropriate child restraint system Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’ s seat belt. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle's seat belt.
Page 102 CAUTION Child restraint precautions Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
