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.

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 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.

Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in

a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

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.

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 a sudden stop, sudden swerve or 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.

Precaution for pre-collision seat belts

Do not rely solely on the pre-collision system to avoid accidents. Always pay atten-

tion to the surrounding conditions, and drive safely and responsibly.
