designed to provide further protection for the driver and
front passenger in addition to the primary safety
protection provided by the seat belts.

 Front airbags
In response to a severe frontal impact, the front airbags
work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by
inflating. The front airbags help to reduce injuries mainly
to the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly
hitting the steering wheel or dashboard.
The front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the
front passenger airbag may deploy if luggage is put in the seat,
or the seat belt is buckled up regardless of the presence of the
occupant in the seat.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic
module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint
system by the driver when the front airbags are inflated.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
CAUTION
The driver or front passenger who is too close to the
steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment
can be killed or seriously injured. Lexus strongly
recommends that:
 The driver sit as far back as possible from the
steering wheel while still maintaining control of the
vehicle.
 The front passenger sit as far back as possible from
the dashboard.
 All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using
the available seat belts.
 Always make sure that the belt webbing is not twisted
and runs freely through the guide when using it.
 Always adjust the seat belt webbing snugly, adjust
the seat belt guide and seat position to assure proper
fit and comfort of your seat belt.
