Seat belt pretensioners
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision or a vehicle roll-
over.
The front seat belt pretensioners also acti-
vate when the vehicle is subjected to cer-
tain types of severe side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact or a rear impact.
Replacing the belt after the preten-
■
sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.
WARNING
■ Seat belt pretensioners
● Do not place anything, such as a cush-
ion, 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 pre-
tensioner for the front passenger's seat
may not activate in the event of a colli-
sion.

If the pretensioner has activated, the

Lexus dealer.
