CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Wearing a seat belt
■
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●
Always wear a seat belt properly.
●
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more
●
than one person at once, including children.
Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat
●
belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary.
●
The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well
back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
●
Seat belt pretensioners
■
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat. Doing so
●
will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting
the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the
front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of a collision.
If the pretensioner has activated, the seat belt becomes locked: it cannot be fur-
●
ther extended, nor will it return to the stowed position. The seat belt cannot be
used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.
