WARNING
People suffering illness
■
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 50)
When children are in the vehicle
■
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around
a child's neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
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.
Adjustable shoulder anchor
■
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder.
The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to
do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or serious
injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. (P. 50)
Seat belt damage and wear
■
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in
●
the door.
Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do
●
not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an
occupant from death or serious injury.
Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
●
If the seat belt does not function correctly, 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. Inappropriate handling
may lead to incorrect operation.
