Before driving

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt properly.

●

Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more

than one person at once, including children.

●

Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat

belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

●

Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seating

position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight

and well back in the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■

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 pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so

will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting

the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the

front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of a collision.

●

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case,

the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.
