WARNING
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 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. 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.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi-
pally designed for persons of adult size.
LS500_OM_(U)_1810
1-1. For safe use
Use a child restraint system appropriate
●
for the child, until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seat belt. (P.45)
When the child becomes large enough to
●
properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt
usage. (P.24)
■ 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.
The personalized extender may not be
●
safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seat-
ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
