WARNING
Front passenger occupant classifica-
■
tion system precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the front passenger occupant
classification system.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
Wear the seat belt properly.
●
Make sure the front passenger's seat
●
belt plate has not been left inserted
into the buckle before someone sits in
the front passenger seat.
Make sure the "AIR BAG OFF" indi-
●
cator light is not illuminated when
using the seat belt extender for the
front passenger seat. If the "AIR BAG
OFF" indicator light is illuminated, dis-
connect 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 illumi-
nated. If you use the seat belt extender
while the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator
light is illuminated, 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
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 illu-
minated, 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.48)
●
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.
