The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS airbag sys-
tem is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain
the motion of the occupants.
Q
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
O
Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) by hot gases.
O
A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
O
Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats may be hot for sev-
eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be
hot.
O
The windshield may crack.
O

Q
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
front airbags)
O
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a
fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
parked vehicle or sign pole, which can
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride
collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
O
Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
Q
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS
side airbags)
The SRS side airbags will deploy in the
event of an impact that exceeds the set
threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to the impact force produced by
an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a
direction perpendicular to the vehicle ori-
entation at an approximate speed of 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
Q
Conditions under which the SRS air-
bags may deploy (inflate), other than a
collision
The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a
serious impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples are shown in
the illustration.
O
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
O
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
O
Landing hard or falling
Q
Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved
in a low-speed frontal collision. But, when-
ever a collision of any type causes sufficient
forward deceleration of the vehicle, deploy-
ment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

WARNING
O
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the
driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many
drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10
in.) 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 recom-
mended above, while still maintaining
control of the foot pedals, steering wheel,
and your view of the instrument panel
controls.
O
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 passen-
ger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
O
Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air-
bag. 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 safer for
infants and children than the front pas-
senger seat. (
P.51)
O
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
O
Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or
sit on the knees of a front passenger.
O
Do not allow the front seat occupants
to hold items on their knees.
O
Do not lean against the front door.

WARNING
O
Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put
their head or hands outside the vehi-
cle.
O
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower
portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
O
Do not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield glass and side
door glass.
O
If a vinyl cover is put on the area where
the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be
sure to remove it.
O
Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side air-
bags inflate as they may interfere with
inflation of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side air-
bags from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death
or serious injury.
O
Do not strike or apply significant levels
of force to the area of the SRS airbag
components or the doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to
malfunction.
O
Do not touch any of the component
parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they
may be hot.
O
If breathing becomes difficult after the
SRS airbags have 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 possi-
ble to prevent skin irritation.
O
If the areas where the SRS airbags are
stored, such as the steering wheel pad,
are damaged or cracked, have them
replaced by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
Q
Modification and disposal of SRS air-
bag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifications
without consulting any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy (inflate) acci-
dentally, causing death or serious injury.

Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision
with a body, such as a pedestrian,
the Pop Up Hood system raises the
hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian’s
head area by adding clearance to
the engine compartment.
When the sensors located at the
back of the front bumper detect a
frontal impact with a body, such as a
pedestrian, which meets or
exceeds the threshold level while
the vehicle is being driven within
the operational speed range, the
system operates.

any reliable repairer.
Q
Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the
vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-
lowing:
O
The front bumper detects a frontal
impact equivalent to or greater than that
of a pedestrian while the vehicle being
driven within the operational speed
range of approximately 25 to 55 km/h
(16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated
by an impact of threshold level or greater,
even in the case of a minor collision that
may not leave a trace on the front
bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system
may operate by a collision with a light or
small object or a small animal.)
O
In other situations such as the following,
the system may operate when an impact
is applied to the lower part of the vehicle
or front bumper:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
• Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an
undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
Q
Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood may not operate properly
O
If a pedestrian collides with the right or
left corner of the front bumper or the side
of the vehicle. As such impacts may be
difficult to detect, the system may not
operate.
O
If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-
rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-
ways, the system may not operate
properly.
Q
Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood will not operate
The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the
following situations:
O
Colliding with a lying person
O
A frontal impact applied to the front
bumper while driving at speeds outside
of the operational speed range
O
A side impact or rear impact
O
A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-
ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
Q
When the Pop Up Hood is operated
O
Do not pull the hood lock release
lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood
has operated will further raise the
hood and may cause an injury. Do not
drive with the hood raised, as doing so
may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
O
Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be
lowered by hand, doing so may
deform the hood or cause an injury.
O
If the Pop Up Hood has operated,
have it replaced by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the
Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and contact
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
