Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were princi-

pally designed for persons of adult size.

Use a child restraint system appropriate 

for the child, until the child becomes large 

enough to properly wear the vehicle’s 

seat belt. (

Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened 

securely because they are not long enough, 

a personalized seat belt extender is avail-

able from your Lexus dealer free of charge.

WARNING

●

Ensure that the belt and plate are 

locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function cor-

rectly, 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. Inap-

propriate handling may lead to incor-

rect operation.

Correct use of the seat belts

WARNING

■

Using a seat belt extender

Observe the following precautions to 

reduce the risk of injury in the event of 

sudden braking, sudden swerving or an 

accident.

Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

●

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 an accident.

●

The personalized extender may not be 

safe on another vehicle, when used by 

another person, or at a different seat-

ing position other than the one origi-

nally intended.
