42 1-1. For safe use
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
pretensioner 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.
When the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 20 km/h (12 mph) or
higher, the seat belts will retract slightly
to remove any slack.
If the system determines that a collision
is unavoidable, the front seat belts will
retract before the collision. (

tion.

WARNING
■
Seat belt pretensioners
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.
●
Vehicles with front passenger occu-
pant classification system: Do not
place anything, such as a cushion, 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
pretensioner for the front passenger’s
seat may not activate in the event of a
collision.
●
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.
