Page 54 1-1. For safe use The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air- bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
Page 55 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 60 1-1. For safe use SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) ■ The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that ● exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
Page 61 1-1. For safe use Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield ■ airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags 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 85 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. 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.
Page 86 1-1. For safe use CAUTION Child restraint precautions (except for Taiwan) ■ Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the ● door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system.
Page 87 1-1. For safe use CAUTION Child restraint precautions (for Taiwan) ■ For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must ● be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system.
Page 88 1-1. For safe use CAUTION When children are in the vehicle ■ Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.

Using the driving support systems  PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system) When the sensor detects that a frontal collision is highly likely or even unavoidable, safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are auto- matically engaged to help avoid a collision or to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.
Page 369 4-5. Using the driving support systems ◆ Pre-crash braking (if equipped) When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the sys- tem determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automati- cally applied to help avoid a collision or to reduce the collision speed.
Page 370 4-5. Using the driving support systems Disabling pre-crash braking Pre-crash warning, pre-crash braking (if equipped) and pre-crash alert braking (vehicles with driver monitor system) can be switched between enabled and disabled by pressing the pre-crash braking off switch.
