Seat belt comfort guide (outboard rear seats)
For children or smaller-than-average
people, slide the seat belt comfort
guide forward so that the shoulder belt
does not sit close to the person's neck.
Seat belt pretensioners (front and outboard rear seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat belt to
quickly restrain the occupant by
retracting the seat belt when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision.
The front seat pretensioners also acti-
vate when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe side collision.
The pretensioner does not activate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a minor side
impact, a rear impact or a vehicle rollover.
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
■
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can
move around fully.
Child seat belt usage
■
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally 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. 64, 70)
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, follow
●
the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (P. 50)
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
■
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
Seat belt regulations
■
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact your Lexus
dealer for seat belt replacement or installation.
