Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.
WARNING
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.
Wearing a seat belt
■
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat
belt.
● Always wear a seat belt properly.
Each seat belt should be used by one
●
person only. Do not use a seat belt for
more than one person at once, includ-
ing children.
For Taiwan: Lexus recommends that
●
children be seated in the rear seat and
always use seat belt. However, if a child
is not large enough to properly wear
the vehicle' seat belt, ensure that they
are seated in a rear seat and use an
appropriate child restraint system.
● Except for Taiwan: Lexus recom-
mends that children be seated in the
rear seat and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child restraint
system.
● To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than nec-
essary. The seat belt is most effective
when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under
●
your arm.
Always wear your seat belt low and
●
snug across your hips.
