Page 71 Seat belt extender ■ If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because they are not long enough, a person- alized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge.
Page 72 Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more ● than one person at the same time, including children. Lexus recommends that children should be seated in the rear seat and always use ● a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
Page 73 Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of a seat belt. ● Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate han- dling of the pretensioner may cause it to activate or operate improperly and may cause death or serious injury.

Page 115: Child Restraint Systems
1-8. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.
Page 116 1-8. Safety information Convertible seat Booster seat Selecting an appropriate child restraint system ■ Get an appropriate child restraint system for the child. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle’ s seat belt. (→P.
Page 117 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle’ s interior. Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to ● the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Page 118 1-8. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions ■ Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the ● door or the area of the seat, front pillar or roof side rail from which the side air- bags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system.
