The SRS Airbag system is an important safety feature of Lexus vehicles. It supplements the vehicle seat belt system by providing additional protection to
vehicle occupants in the event of a severe frontal or side collision (it equipped with side airbags).
In order to assure correct system operation it is necessary to replace certain components of the airbag system following a collision. In order to assist
technicians in determining which components should be inspected tested or replaced the repair manual information has been organized in the attached
matrix and replacement notes.
Even in cases of a minor collision where the SRS does not deploy, the steering wheel pad, front passenger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly, airbag
