Scrapping of your Lexus

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive

chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left

as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of

the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified

service shop or by your Lexus dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may

include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.

CAUTION

■

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of

alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol

and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination,

which could lead to an accident that will hurt or kill you, your occupants or others.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers

or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts

the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can

result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or

others.

■

General precaution regarding children±s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or

use the key.

When left unattended, children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle

into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing

with the cigarette lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehi-

cle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can

be fatal to children.
