ations such as the following, as the set

parking space may not be able to be

registered or assistance may not be

possible later.

• When a camera lens is dirty or cov-

ered with water droplets

• When it is raining or snowing

• When the surrounding area is dark (at

6-2. Using the safe driving support functions

With the Secondary Collision Brake
(Rear Impacts while Stopped), the rear
side radar sensors detect a following
vehicle driving in the same lane while
the vehicle is stopped. If the system
determines that the possibility of a
rear-end collision is very high, the
brakes and brake lights will be auto-
matically controlled to reduce the vehi-
cle speed after the rear-end collision
and help reduce the possibility of fur-
ther damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

WARNING

■

SRS airbag precautions

Observe the following precautions. Fail-

ure to do so may result in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

The driver and all passengers must

wear their seat belts correctly.

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 airbag is

the first 50-75 mm (2-3 in.) of infla-

tion, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.)

from your driver airbag provides you

with a clear margin of safety. This dis-

tance is measured from the center of

the steering wheel to your breastbone.

If your current driving position places

you less than 250 mm (10 in.) away

from the driver airbag, you can change

your driving position in several ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as

possible while still being able to reach

the pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the seatback. Although

vehicle designs vary, many drivers can

achieve the 250 mm (11 in.) distance,

even with the driver seat all the way

forward, simply by reclining the

seatback somewhat. If reclining the

seatback makes it hard to see the road,

raise yourself by using a firm, non-slip-

pery 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 above, while still

being able to control the vehicle with

the pedals and steering wheel, and

maintaining your view of the instru-

ment panel controls.

●

The SRS front passenger airbag

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 positioned as far

possible from the airbag with the

seatback adjusted so that the passen-

ger is sat upright.

system

WARNING

●

Improperly seated and/or restrained

infants and children can be killed or

seriously 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 safer for

infants and children than the front pas-

senger seat. (



P.66)

●

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 or sit

on the lap of a front passenger.

●

Front seat occupants should never

hold items on their lap.

●

Do not lean against the door, roof side

rail, or front, side, or rear pillar.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on a seat

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.

434

6-3. Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision

WARNING

●

Do not attach anything to areas such

as the doors, windshield, side windows,

front or rear pillars, roof side rails and

assist grips. (With the exception of the

speed limit label



P.540)

●

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard objects on the coat hooks. These

items could become projectiles if the

SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, pos-

sibly leading to death or serious injury.

●

If a vinyl cover is attached to the area

where the SRS knee airbag deploys,

be sure to remove it.

●

Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts from which the SRS

airbags deploy, as they may interfere

with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such

accessories may prevent the SRS

airbags from deploying correctly, may

disable the system or cause the SRS

airbags to inflate unintentionally, possi-

bly resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant force

to the SRS airbag system components,

front doors or their surrounding area.

Doing so may cause the SRS airbags

to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any components of the

SRS airbags immediately after the SRS

airbags 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 a part where an SRS airbag is stored

is damaged or cracked, have it

replaced by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.

■

Modification and disposal of SRS

airbag 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 unintentionally, possibly leading

to death or serious injury.

For your safety

●

Please drive safely.

The function of this system is to assist

you in making the Emergency Call in

case of accidents such as traffic acci-

dents or sudden medical emergencies,

and it does not protect the driver or

passengers in any way. Please drive

safely and fasten your seatbelts at all

times for your safety.

●

In case of an emergency, make lives

the top priority.

●

If you smell anything burning or other

unusual smells, leave the vehicle and

evacuate to a safe area immediately.

●

If the airbags deploy when the system

is operating normally, the system

makes emergency call. The system

also makes emergency call when the

vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls

over, even if the airbags do not deploy.

●

For safety, do not make the Emergency

Call while driving.

Making calls during driving may cause

mishandling of the steering wheel,

which may lead to unexpected acci-

dents.

Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety

of your surroundings before making

the Emergency Call.

●

When changing fuses, please use the

specified fuses. Using other fuses may

cause ignition or smoke in the circuit

and lead to a fire.

●

Using the system while there is smoke

or an unusual smell may cause a fire.

Stop using the system immediately and

consult any authorized Lexus retailer

or Lexus authorized repairer, or any

reliable repairer.
