■ Passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the passenger occupant classification
system.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● Wear the seat belt properly.
● Make sure the passenger’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the buckle
before someone sits in the passenger seat.
● Do not apply a heavy load to the passenger seat or equipment.
● Do not put objects under the passenger seat.
● Keep the 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 passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light should illu-
minated. If the “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 cor-
rectly. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, ask the passenger
to move the passenger seat fully rearward.
● If a child restraint system needs to be installed, install a forward facing child
restraint system on the passenger seat in the proper manner. (P. 8 0)
● Do not modify or remove the seats.
● Do not kick the passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS
warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In
this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the seat.
