CAUTION

■

SRS airbag precautions

●

If the 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 airbags

inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags.

●

Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag

components shown on P. 101.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have

deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.

●

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.

●

If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are

damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not attach anything to or lean anything

against areas such as the dashboard, steer-

ing wheel pad and lower portion of the

instrument panel.

These items can become projectiles when

SRS driver, front passenger and knee air-

bags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas such as the

door.
