Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision
Reducing impact to passengers in a collision
Seat belt pretensioners
When the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal or side impact or rollover, the
pretensioners retract the seat belts of the front seats and rear outer seats to
securely restrain the occupants.
The pretensioners will not operate in minor frontal or side impacts, or rear impacts.
INFORMATION
■
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
■
PCS-linked control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) determines that the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners will be prepared to operate.
WARNING
■
Seat belt pretensioners
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detect-
ing the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the front
passenger’s seat may not operate in the event of a collision.
●
If a pretensioner has operated, the SRS warning light will illuminate.
In this situation, the seat belt cannot be used and must be replaced by your Lexus
dealer.

SRS airbags
The SRS airbags deploy when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe
impact that may cause significant injury to the occupants. The airbags work togeth-
er with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.

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.
INFORMATION
■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●
Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed of deployment (inflation) 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 parts around the airbags may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also
be hot.
●
The windshield may crack.
●
All of the doors will be unlocked.
●
The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically.
●
The interior lights will turn on automatically.
●
The emergency flashers will turn on automatically.
●
Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
●
For Safety Connect subscribers, if any of the following situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehi-
cle's location (without needing to push the [SOS] button) 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 communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as
an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services.

WARNING
■
SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
The driver and all passengers must wear their seat belts correctly.
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
6-3. Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision

WARNING
margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to
your breastbone. If your current driving position places you less than 10 in. (250 mm)
away from the driver airbag, you can change your driving position in several ways:
•
Move your seat to the rear as far as possible while still being able to reach the
pedals comfortably.
•
Slightly recline the seatback. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can
achieve the 10 in. (251 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward,
simply by reclining the seatback somewhat. If reclining the seatback 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 the NHTSA, while still being able to control the vehicle with the pedals
and steering wheel, and maintaining your view of the instrument panel controls.
●
If a seat belt extender has been connected to a
front seat belt buckle but the latch plate of the
seat belt has not been fastened to the seat belt
extender, the SRS airbag system will judge that
the occupant is wearing the seat belt even though
the seat belt has not been fastened. In this case,
the SRS front airbags may not deploy correctly in
a collision, resulting in death or serious injury. Be
sure to wear the seat belt correctly when using a
seat belt extender.
●
The SRS front passenger airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death
or serious injury, especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front
passenger seat should be positioned as far possible from the airbag with the seatback
adjusted so that the passenger is sat 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 passenger
seat.

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 or sit on the lap of a front
passenger.
●
Front seat occupants should never hold items on
their lap.
●
Do not lean against the door, roof side rail, or front,
side, or rear pillar.
●
Do not allow anyone to kneel on a seat toward
the door or put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
●
Do not attach anything to or lean anything against
areas such as the dashboard, steering wheel pad
and lower portion of the instrument panel.

WARNING
●
Do not attach anything to areas such as the doors,
windshield, side windows, front or rear pillars, roof
side rails and assist grips. (With the exception of
the speed limit label )
●
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. These items could
become projectiles if the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, possibly leading to death
or serious injury.
●
If a vinyl cover is attached to the area where the SRS knee airbag deploys, be sure to
remove it.
●
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts from which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent
the SRS airbags from deploying correctly, may disable the system or cause the SRS
airbags to inflate unintentionally, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
●
Do not strike or apply significant force to the SRS airbag system components, front
doors or their surrounding area. Doing so may cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●
Do not touch any components of the SRS airbags immediately after the SRS airbags
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 possible to prevent skin irritation.
●
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 cushion, 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 airbags for the front passenger’s
seat may not deploy in the event of a collision.

Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without
consulting your Lexus dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy unintentionally, possibly leading to death or
serious injury.

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 passenger 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 passenger 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 illuminated, 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 forward-facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the
proper order.
●
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 passenger occupant
classification system.
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
●
Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seat-
backs.
●
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 upholstery of the front seat.
