1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

SRS airbag precautions

Slightly recline the back of the seat.

Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm)

distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the

back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat 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 recommended by NHTSA above, while still main-

taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument

panel controls.

The SRS front passenger airbag also 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 as far from the airbag as possible with

the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seri-

ously 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 the safest for infants and children.

P. 139)

If the seat belt extender has been con-

nected to the driver's seat belt buckle but

the seat belt extender has not also been

fastened to the latch plate of the driver's

seat belt, the SRS driver's airbag system

will judge that the driver is wearing the seat

belt even though the seat belt has not been

connected. In this case, the driver's airbag

may not activate correctly in a collision,

resulting in death or serious injury in the

event of collision. Be sure to wear the seat

belt with the seat belt extender.
