LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

When the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or
higher, the seat belts will retract slightly
to remove any slack.
If the system determines that a collision
is unavoidable, the front seat belts will
retract before the collision. (

P.213)

■

Pre-collision seat belts with comfort

function

A motor sound may be heard when a front

seat belt is released or a front door is

opened. This does not indicate a malfunc-

tion.

■

Customization

Some functions can be customized.

(

P.479)

WARNING

●

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 seat belt pre-

tensioner for the front passenger’s seat

may not activate in the event of a colli-

sion.

●

If the pretensioner has activated, the

SRS warning light will come on. In that

case, the seat belt cannot be used

again and must be replaced at your

Lexus dealer.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU)
controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sensors etc.
shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash
severity and occupant information. 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.

■

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may

be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the

extremely high speed deployment (infla-

tion) by hot gases.

●

A loud noise and white powder will be

emitted.

●

Parts of the airbag module (steering

wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as

well as the seats, parts of the front and

rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot

for several minutes. The airbag itself may

also be hot.

●

The windshield may crack.

●

The hybrid system will be stopped and

fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.

(

P.69)

●

All of the doors will be unlocked.

(

●

The emergency flashers will be turned on

automatically. (

P.416)

●

For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-

scribers, if any of the following situations

occur, the system is designed to send an

emergency call to the response center,

notifying them of the vehicle’s location

(without needing to push the “SOS” but-

ton) and an agent will attempt to speak

with the occupants to ascertain the level

of emergency and assistance required. If

the occupants are unable to communi-

cate, the agent automatically treats the

call as an emergency and helps to dis-

patch the necessary emergency services.

(

P.58)

• An SRS airbag is deployed.

• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe

rear-end collision.

■

PCS-linked SRS airbag deployment

control (vehicles with Lexus Safety Sys-

tem + A)

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a side collision is

high, the SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags will be prepared to operate.

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS

front airbags/SRS seat cushion airbags)

●

The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cush-

ion airbags will deploy in the event of an

impact that exceeds the set threshold

level (the level of force corresponding to

an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30

km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall

that does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:

P

Q

R
S

T

32

1-1. For safe use

LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a

parked vehicle or sign pole, which can

move or deform on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an underride

collision, such as a collision in which the

front of the vehicle underrides, or goes

under, the bed of a truck

●

Depending on the type of collision, it is

possible that only the seat belt preten-

sioners will activate.

●

The SRS front airbags for the front pas-

senger will not activate if there is no pas-

senger sitting in the front passenger seat.

However, the SRS front airbags for the

front passenger may deploy if luggage is

put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccu-

pied.

●

The SRS seat cushion airbags on the rear

seat will not operate if the occupant is not

wearing a seat belt.

■

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

3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with

the vehicle cabin from a direction per-

pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an

approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 -

30 km/h]).

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags may

deploy in the event of a severe side colli-

sion.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags will

deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also

deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-

lision.

■

Conditions under which the SRS air-

bags may deploy (inflate), other than a

collision

The SRS front airbags, SRS curtain shield

airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags may

also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the

underside of your vehicle. Some examples

are shown in the illustration.

●

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard

surface

●

Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●

Landing hard or falling

The SRS curtain shield airbags may also

deploy under the situations shown in the

illustration.

●

The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.

●

The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.

■

Types of collisions that may not deploy

the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags/SRS

seat cushion airbags)

The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion

airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle

is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls

over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal

collision. But, whenever a collision of any

type causes sufficient forward deceleration

of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front

airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags may

occur.

●

Collision from the side

●

Collision from the rear

●

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.

●

Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger compart-

ment

●

Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags do not generally

inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or

rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved

in a low-speed side collision.

●

Collision from the front

●

Collision from the rear

●

WARNING

■

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions

regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous 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.

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since
the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the
first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation,
placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from
your driver airbag provides you with a
clear margin of safety. This distance is
measured from the center of the steering
wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less
than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can
change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as

you can while still reaching the pedals

comfortably.

35

1-1. For safe use

LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

For safety and security

WARNING

• Slightly recline the back of the seat.

Although vehicle designs vary, many

drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250

mm) distance, even with the driver seat

all the way forward, simply by reclining

the back of the seat somewhat. If

reclining the back of your seat makes it

hard to see the road, raise yourself by

using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or

raise the seat if your vehicle has that

feature.

• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt

it downward. This points the airbag

toward your chest instead of your head

and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recom-

mended by NHTSA above, while still

maintaining control of the foot pedals,

steering wheel, and your view of the

instrument panel controls.

●

If the seat belt extender has been con-

nected to the front seat belt buckles

but the seat belt extender has not also

been fastened to the latch plate of the

seat belt, the SRS front airbags will

judge that the driver and front passen-

ger are wearing the seat belt even

though the seat belt has not been con-

nected. In this case, the SRS front air-

bags may not activate correctly in a

collision, resulting in death or serious

injury in the event of a collision. Be

sure to wear the seat belt with the seat

belt extender.

●

The SRS front passenger airbag also

deploys with considerable force, and

can cause death or serious injury

especially if the front passenger is very

close to the airbag. The front passen-

ger seat should be as far from the air-

bag as possible with the seatback

adjusted, so the front passenger sits

upright.

●

Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or

seriously injured by a deploying airbag.

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. The rear seats are safer for

infants and children than the front pas-

senger seat. (

P.45)

36

1-1. For safe use

LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

WARNING

●

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.

●

Do not allow the front seat occupants

to hold items on their knees.

●

Do not lean against the door, the roof

side rail or the front, side and rear pil-

lars.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seats toward the door or

put their head or hands outside the

vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or lean any-

thing against areas such as the dash-

board, steering wheel pad and lower

portion of the instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles

when the SRS driver, front passenger

and knee airbags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas such

as a door, windshield, side windows,

front or rear pillar, roof side rail and

assist grip.

●

Do not hang coat hangers or hard

objects on the coat hooks. All of these

items could become projectiles and

may cause death or serious injury,

should the SRS curtain shield airbags

deploy.

37

LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

1

For safety and security

WARNING

●

If a vinyl cover is put on the area where

the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be

sure to remove it.

●

Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the SRS side air-

bags inflate as they may interfere with

inflation of the SRS airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the side air-

bags from activating correctly, disable

the system or cause the side airbags to

inflate accidentally, resulting in death

or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant levels

of force to the area of the SRS airbag

components or the front doors. Doing

so can cause the SRS airbags to mal-

function.

●

Do not touch any of the component

parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they

may be hot.

●

If breathing becomes difficult after the

SRS airbags have deployed, open a

door or window to allow fresh air in, or

leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so.

Wash off any residue as soon as possi-

ble to prevent skin irritation.

●

If the areas where the SRS airbags are

stored, such as the steering wheel pad

and front and rear pillar garnishes are

damaged or cracked, have them

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 may not

deploy in the event of a collision.

■

Modification and disposal of SRS air-

bag system components

Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-

form any of the following modifications

without consulting your Lexus dealer.

The SRS airbags may malfunction or

deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing

death or serious injury.

●

Installation, removal, disassembly and

repair of the SRS airbags

●

Repairs, modifications, removal or

replacement of the steering wheel,

instrument panel, dashboard, seats or

seat upholstery, front, side and rear pil-

lars, roof side rails, front door panels,

front door trims or front door speakers

●

Modifications to the front door panel

(such as making a hole in it)

Pop Up Hood precautions

●

Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure

to contact your Lexus dealer.

●

The Pop Up Hood system cannot be

reused once it has operated. Have it

replaced by your Lexus dealer.

■

PCS-linked Pop Up Hood operation

control

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a collision with a

pedestrian or bicyclist is high, the Pop Up

Hood will be prepared to operate.

■

Pop Up Hood operational conditions

The Pop Up Hood will operate when the

vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-

lowing:

●

The front bumper detects a frontal impact

equivalent to or greater than that of a

pedestrian while the vehicle being driven

within the operational speed range of

approximately 16 to 34 mph (25 to 55

km/h). (The system is operated by an

impact of threshold level or greater, even

in the case of a minor collision that may

not leave a trace on the front bumper.

Also, depending on the impact condi-

tions or vehicle speed, the system may

operate by a collision with a light or small

object or a small animal.)

●

In other situations, such as the following

the system may operate when an impact

is applied to the lower part of the vehicle

or front bumper:

• Colliding with a curb

• Falling into a deep hole

• Landing hard

• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an

undulating road, a protruding object or

falling object

■

Conditions under which the Pop Up

Hood may not operate properly

●

If a pedestrian collides with the right or

left corner of the front bumper or the side

of the vehicle. As such impacts may be

difficult to detect, the system may not

operate.

●

If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-

rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-

ways, the system may not operate

properly.

■

Conditions under which the Pop Up

Hood will not operate

The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the

following situations:

●

Colliding with a lying person

Pop Up Hood

In the event of a frontal collision
with a body, such as a pedestrian,
the Pop Up Hood system raises the
hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian’s
head area by adding clearance to
the engine compartment.

When the sensors located at the
back of the front bumper detect a
frontal impact with a body, such as a
pedestrian, which meets or
exceeds the threshold level while
the vehicle is being driven within
the operational speed range, the
system operates.

of the operational speed range

●

A side impact or rear impact

●

A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-

ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)

WARNING

■

When the Pop Up Hood is operated

●

Do not pull the hood lock release lever.

Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has

operated will further raise the hood

and may cause an injury. Do not drive

with the hood raised, as doing so may

block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-

ing an accident.

●

Do not forcibly push down the hood.

As the popped up hood cannot be

lowered by hand, doing so may deform

the hood or cause an injury.

●

If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have

it replaced by your Lexus dealer. If the

Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the

vehicle in a safe place and contact

your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not touch the lifters immediately

after the Pop Up Hood has operated,

as the lifters may be hot and burn you.

NOTICE

■

Pop Up Hood precautions

●

Make sure to close the hood before

driving, as the system may not operate

properly if the hood is not fully closed.

●

Make sure that all 4 tires are of the

specified size and inflated to the speci-

fied tire pressure. If tires of a different

size are used, the system may not

operate properly.

●

If something has hit the area around

the front bumper, the sensors may be

damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has

not operated. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not remove or repair the parts or

wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing

so may cause accidental operation or

prevent the system from operating

properly. If repair or replacement is

necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not remove such components as

the front bumper, hood or suspension,

or replace them with non-genuine

parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-

tem from operating properly.

●

Do not install anything to the front

bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting an

impact correctly and prevent the sys-

tem from operating properly.

●

Do not close the hood with force or

apply load to the lifters, as doing so

may damage the lifters and prevent the

system from operating properly.

●

Do not modify the suspension, as

changes made to the vehicle height

may prevent the system from operat-

ing properly.

WARNING

●

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).

●

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.46)

●

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.

●

Do not modify or replace the uphol-

stery of the front seat.
