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 serious 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.

●

To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary.

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.

If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely

because they are not long enough, a person-

alized seat belt extender is available from

your Lexus dealer free of charge.
