Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can
move around fully.
■
Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even
slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to
hold a child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and
then pull the belt out once more. ( → P. 60)
■
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally 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. (
→
P. 58)
●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow
the instructions regarding seat belt usage. ( → P. 34)
■
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
■
Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a personal-
ized seat belt extender is available from your
Lexus dealer free of charge.
