WARNING
If a part where an SRS airbag is stored
●
is damaged or cracked, have it
replaced by your Lexus dealer.
●
Do not place anything, such as a cush-
ion, 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 air-
bags for the front passenger's seat may
not deploy in the event of a collision.
