WARNING
●
Women who are pregnant should consult their
doctor for any precautions for wearing the seat
belt correctly.
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 round-
ing 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 brak-
ing or a collision.
● Persons with a medical condition should consult their doctor for any precautions for
wearing the seat belt correctly.
● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do
not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an
occupant from death or serious injury.
● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a
serious accident, even if there’s 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. Inappropriate handling
may lead to incorrect operation.
● 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.
INFORMATION
■

the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
