■Wearing a seat belt
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sud-
den braking or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more
than one person at on ce, including children.
●Lexus recommends that should be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat
belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well
back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

If your seat belts cannot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a person-

CAUTION
■Using a seat belt extender
●Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without the
extender.
●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system because
the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the event of a accident.
●The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when used by
another person, or at a different seating position other than the one originally
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt extender
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt. 
This helps prevent damage to the vehi cle interior and the extender itself.
