2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Airbag System
The RX 400h’s sophisticated network of sensors and airbags
7
is designed to help enhance passenger protection should a collision occur.
Depending on factors such as crash severity and driver’s seat-track position, the advanced driver’s dual-stage airbag
7
deploys at a higher or
lower speed to help provide an appropriate level of occupant restraint. Similarly, the advanced front passenger’s dual-stage airbag
7
uses occupant
sensors to determine if a deployment is appropriate, and crash severity sensors to determine whether to deploy the airbag at higher or lower
speeds. The 2007 RX 400h also features front seat-mounted side airbags
7
that are larger than conventional side airbags
7
and designed to help
protect the torso, abdomen and pelvis. And rounding out this comprehensive system are front and rear side curtain airbags
7
with rollover sensors
and a driver’s knee airbag.
7
Of course, as impressive as it is, the RX 400h’s airbag system
7
is one feature we hope is never needed.
