COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
110
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and
is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position
and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child
restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” on
page 133.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then
pull the belt out once more.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull
the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull
the belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION
D After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the belt is not twisted.
D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this
may prevent you from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
D If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect
an adult occupant or your child from injury.

unintended result. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on hip as possible.

your arm.
