WARNING
Seat belt damage and wear
■
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in
●
the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do
●
not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an
occupant from death or serious injury.
Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
●
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus dealer.
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a
●
serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts.
●
Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate handling
may lead to incorrect operation.
Using a seat belt extender
■
Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the extender.
●
Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because the
●
belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of death or
serious injury in the event of an accident.
The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by another
●
person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally intended.
NOTICE
When using a seat belt extender
■
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not
on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
