Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision
Reducing impact to passengers in a collision
Seat belt pretensioners
When the vehicle is subjected to a severe frontal or side impact, the pretensioners
retract the seat belts of the front seats and rear outer seats to securely restrain the
occupants.
The pretensioners will not operate in minor frontal or side impacts, rear impacts, or vehicle
rollovers.
INFORMATION
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
■ PCS-linked control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) determines that the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners will be prepared to operate.
WARNING
■ Seat belt pretensioners
If a pretensioner has operated, the SRS warning light will illuminate.
In this situation, the seat belt cannot be used and must be replaced by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
SRS airbags
The SRS airbags deploy when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe
impact that may cause significant injury to the occupants. The airbags work togeth-
er with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
