Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (

P. 32)

■

When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted

around a child’s neck, it may lead 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

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.

■

Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoul-

der. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder.

Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause

death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

P. 32)

Women who are pregnant should position

the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in

the same manner as other occupants,

extending the shoulder belt completely over

the shoulder and avoiding belt contact with

the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only

the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could

suffer death or serious injury as a result of

sudden braking or a collision.
