The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal or side collision.

The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle roll-
over.

■

Replacing the belt after the preten-

sioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-

sions, the pretensioner will activate for the

first collision, but will not activate for the

second or subsequent collisions.

■

PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner con-

trol (vehicles with Lexus Safety System

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a collision with a

vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners

will be prepared to operate.

WARNING

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of your

shoulder. The belt should be kept away

from your neck, but not falling off your

shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce

the amount of protection in an accident

and cause death or serious injuries in the

event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve

or accident.

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may

be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the

extremely high speed deployment (infla-

tion) by hot gases.

●

A loud noise and white powder will be

emitted.

●

Parts of the airbag module (steering

wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as

well as the front seats, parts of the front

and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may

be hot for several minutes. The airbag

itself may also be hot.

●

The windshield may crack.

to send an emergency call to the eCall

control center, notifying them of the vehi-

cle’s location (without needing to push

the “SOS” button) and an agent will

attempt to speak with the occupants to

ascertain the level of emergency and

assistance required. If the occupants are

unable to communicate, the agent auto-

matically treats the call as an emergency

• An SRS airbag is deployed.

• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-

end collision.

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS

front airbags)

●

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

●

Depending on the type of collision, it is

possible that only the seat belt preten-

sioners will activate.

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS

side and curtain shield airbags)

●

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags

will deploy in the event of an impact that

exceeds the set threshold level (the level

of force corresponding to the impact

force produced by an approximately

1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags will

deploy in the event of a side collision on

either side.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also

deploy in the event of a severe frontal

collision.

■

Conditions under which the SRS air-

bags may deploy (inflate), other than a

collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain

shield airbags may also deploy if a serious

impact occurs to the underside of your

vehicle. Some examples are shown in the

illustration.

●

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard

surface

●

Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

●

Landing hard or falling

■

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

■

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions

regarding the SRS airbags.

Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

●

The driver and all passengers in the

vehicle must wear their seat belts

properly.

The SRS airbags are supplemental

devices to be used with the seat belts.

●

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.

●

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.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

●

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.53)

●

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or

lean against the dashboard.

●

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.

●

Do not allow the front seat occupants

to hold items on their knees.

●

Do not lean against the door, the roof

side rail or the front, side and rear pil-

lars.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seats toward the door or

put their head or hands outside the

vehicle.

●

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.

WARNING

●

Do not attach anything to areas such

as a door, windshield, side window,

front or rear pillar, roof side rail and

assist grip. (Except for the speed limit

label



P.423)

●

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard objects on the coat hooks. All of

these items could become projectiles

and may cause death or serious injury,

should the SRS curtain shield airbags

deploy.

●

If a 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 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.

●

Do not strike or apply significant levels

of force to the area of the SRS airbag

components or the front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to

malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the component

parts immediately after the SRS air-

bags have deployed (inflated) as they

may be hot.

●

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.

●

If the areas where the SRS airbags are

stored, such as the steering wheel pad

and front and rear pillar garnishes, are

damaged or cracked, have them

replaced by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.

■

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 precautions

●

Before scrapping your vehicle, make

sure to contact any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer.

●

The Pop Up Hood system cannot be

reused once it has operated. Have it

replaced by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer.

■

PCS-linked Pop Up Hood operation

control (if equipped)

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a collision with a

pedestrian or bicyclist is high, the Pop Up

Hood will be prepared to operate.

■

Pop Up Hood operational conditions

The Pop Up Hood will operate when the

vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-

lowing:

●

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.)

●

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

■

Conditions under which the Pop Up

Hood may not operate properly

●

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.

●

If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-

rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-

ways, the system may not operate

properly.

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.

Conditions under which the Pop Up

Hood will not operate

The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the

following situations:

●

Colliding with a lying person

●

A frontal impact applied to the front

bumper while driving at speeds outside

of the operational speed range

●

A side impact or rear impact

●

A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-

ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)

WARNING

■

When the Pop Up Hood is operated

●

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.

●

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.

●

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 any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●

Do not touch the lifters immediately

after the Pop Up Hood has operated,

as the lifters may be hot and burn you.

NOTICE

■

Pop Up Hood precautions

●

Make sure to close the hood before

driving, as the system may not operate

properly if the hood is not fully closed.

●

Make sure that all 4 tires are of the

specified size and inflated to the speci-

fied tire pressure. If tires of a different

size are used, the system may not

operate properly.

●

If something has hit the area around

the front bumper, the sensors may be

damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has

not operated. Have the vehicle

inspected by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.

●

Do not remove or repair the parts or

wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing

so may cause accidental operation or

prevent the system from operating

properly. If repair or replacement is

necessary, contact any authorized

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

Do not remove such components as

the front bumper, hood or suspension,

or replace them with non-genuine

parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-

tem from operating properly.

●

Do not install anything to the front

bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-

vent the sensors from detecting an

impact correctly and prevent the sys-

tem from operating properly.

●

Do not close the hood with force or

apply load to the lifters, as doing so

may damage the lifters and prevent

the system from operating properly.

●

Do not modify the suspension, as

changes made to the vehicle height

may prevent the system from operat-

ing properly.

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon

monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases

enter the vehicle and may lead to an

accident caused by light-headedness, or

may lead to death or a serious health

hazard.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the trunk lid closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-

cle even when the trunk lid is closed,

open the windows and have the vehi-

cle inspected at any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer as soon as pos-

sible.

■

When parking

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated

area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the hybrid system.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the

hybrid system on for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided,

park the vehicle in an open space and

ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter

the vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the hybrid system oper-

ating in an area with snow build-up, or

where it is snowing. If snowbanks build

up around the vehicle while the hybrid

system is operating, exhaust gases

may collect and enter the vehicle.
