CAUTION
Child restraint lock function belt precaution
■
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the belt
becomes twisted around a child' s neck, it will not be possible to pull the belt out
leading 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 behind the seat belt guide.
Seat belt damage and wear
■
Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed
●
in the door.
If the seat belt is damaged, the built-in SRS seat belt airbag may not inflate in an
accident.
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 tab are locked and the belt is not twisted.
●
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus
dealer.
If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, have the seat assembly including
●
the belts inspected at your Lexus dealer 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 han-
dling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly resulting in
death or serious injury.
When using the seat belt guide
■
Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the guide.
●
Always make sure the seat belt passes through the seat belt guide. If the seat belt
●
is not passing through the seat belt guide correctly and the SRS airbags are
inflated, the SRS seat belt airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death or
serious injury.
