CAUTION
n
SRS airbag precautions
l
If the vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploys, be
sure to remove it.
l
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags
inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.
l
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components shown on P. 80.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
l
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
l
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has 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.
l
If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and
front pillar garnish, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Lexus
dealer.
l
Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steer-
ing wheel pad or lower portion of the
instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles when
SRS driver, front passenger and knee air-
bags deploy.
l
Do not attach anything to areas such as the
door, windshield glass, side door glass,
front and rear pillars, roof side rail or assist
grip.
l
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard
objects on the coat hooks. All of these
items could become projectiles and seri-
ously injure or kill you, should the SRS cur-
tain shield airbag deploy.
