WARNING
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.
