CAUTION

■

Child restraint lock function belt

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 belt cannot

protect an occupant from death or serious 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 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.

Do not use the third center seat belt with

either buckle released. Fastening only one of

the buckles may result in death or serious

injury in case of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or a collision.
