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 or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle roll-
over.
1-1. For safe use
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
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS
warning light will come on. In that case,
the seat belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.
Failure to do so may cause death or seri-
ous injury.
