WARNING
Inspect the seat belt system periodi-
●
cally. 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 cor-
rectly, 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's 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. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incor-
rect operation.
Correct use of the seat belts
 Extend the shoulder belt so that it
comes fully over the shoulder, but
does not come into contact with the
neck or slide off the shoulder.
 Position the lap belt as low as possi-
ble over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the seatback.
Sit up straight and well back in the
seat.

Child seat belt usage
■
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi-
pally designed for persons of adult size.
● Use a child restraint system appropriate
for the child, until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seat belt. (→P.46)
When the child becomes large enough to
●
properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt
usage. (→P.26)
■ Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long enough,
a personalized seat belt extender is avail-
able from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
WARNING
Using a seat belt extender
■
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
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.
