For safety and security

The pretensioners help the seat belts to 
quickly restrain the occupants by 
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of 
severe frontal or side collision or a 
vehicle rollover.

The pretensioners do not activate in the 
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor 
side impact or a rear impact.

■

Replacing the belt after the preten-

sioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-

sions, the pretensioner will activate for the 

first collision, but will not activate for the 

second or subsequent collisions.

PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner con-

trol

If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-

mines that the possibility of a collision with a 

vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners 

will be prepared to operate.

seats and outboard rear seats)

WARNING

■

Seat belt pretensioners

●

Do not place anything, such as a cush-

ion, 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 pre-

tensioner for the front passenger’s seat 

may not activate in the event of a colli-

sion.

●

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.
