Replacing the belt after activation of the pretensioner
The seat belts cannot be used if a pretensioner has activated. After an accident,
have your Lexus dealer inspect the pretensioners and replace them, if necessary.
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way.
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in
the same manner as other occupants. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-
der and position the belt across the chest.
Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a
pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suf-
fer death or serious injury as a result of sud-
den braking or a collision.
