■ 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.
● 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.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
■ When to contact your Lexus dealer
In the following cases, the vehicle will
require inspection and/or repair. Contact
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been
inflated.
● The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an accident
that was not severe enough to cause the
SRS front airbags to inflate.
● A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has had a
hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not
severe enough to cause the SRS side air-
bags to inflate.
● The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger air-
bag or lower portion of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
● The surface of the seats with the SRS side
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
