CAUTION

■

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°s 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.

■

Using a seat belt extender

●

Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the

extender.

●

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because

the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of

death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

●

The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by

another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally

intended.
