Fastening Front And Rear Seat Belts - Lexus RX300 2001 Owner's Manual

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
D Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning,
use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never
use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners – they may
severely weaken the belts. (See "Cleaning the
interior" on page 308 for instructions.)
D Replace the belt assembly (including bolts) if it has
been used in a severe impact. The entire assembly
should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

Fastening front and rear seat belts

16R014a
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the
seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on
impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move
around freely.
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and
is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position
and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child
restraint system securely. (For details, see "Child restraint" on
page 115.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then
pull the belt out once more.
