■ Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
● Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may
cause the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated, which indi-
cates that the SRS airbags for the front passenger will not activate in the event of a
severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seatback to a posi-
tion where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as
upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively
may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.
● If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “PASSENGER AIR BAG ON” indica-
tor light is illuminated. If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator is illuminated,
ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the
seat belt worn correctly. If the “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF” indicator still remains
illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible,
move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
● When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the
proper order. (P. 58)
● Do not modify or remove the front seats.
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the
SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the front passenger
occupant classification system. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
● Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seat-
backs.
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.
