COMFORT ADJUSTMENT Seat belt comfort guides CAUTION Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child's neck, and should not fall off the child's shoulder. Failure to observe these precautions could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in an accident, causing death or serious injury. Seat belt extender If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely because it is not long enough, a personalized seat belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of charge. Please contact your local Lexus dealer so that the dealer can order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is available at your Lexus dealer. The seat belt comfort guides are installed on the outside rear seats to relieve uncomfortableness from the shoulder belt when it is applied closer to a child's neck (at the age of 10 or so), by pulling the shoulder belt a little forward. Slide the seat belt comfort guide forward to adjust the shoulder belt. The seat belt comfort guide should not be in the forward position for other purposes. CAUTION When using the seat belt extender, observe the following precautions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of vehicle accident, increasing the chance of personal injury. D Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without it. 112
