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.

ing position other than the one origi-
nally intended.
