Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts.
1Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips − not
on your waist.
2 Adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion
upward through the latch plate.
CAUTION
Both highpositioned lap belts and loosefitting
belts could cause death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a collision or other
unintended event. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on hip as possible.
 Do not place the shoulder belt under your arm.

Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size.
To raise the shoulder anchor position, push the anchor up. To
lower the anchor position, support the anchor while you push
the lock release button then slide the anchor down. After the
adjustment, make sure the anchor is locked in position.
CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of your shoulder . The belt should be
kept away from your neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of
protection in an accident and cause death or serious
injuries in a collision.

immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot
protect an adult occupant or your child from death or
serious injury.

To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into
the seat belt buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on the
buckle release buttons of the extender and the seat belt
are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
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 vehicle interior and extender itself.
As far as the seat belt extender on the front passenger side is
concerned, do not fail to disconnect the extender from the seat
belt after the above operation in order to activate the front
passenger airbag correctly when getting into the vehicle next
time.
When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle
for future use.
CAUTION
 After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of
the belt and the seat belt extender are not twisted.
 Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this
may prevent you from properly latching the tab and
buckle.
 If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the seat until the seat belt is fixed, because it cannot
protect an adult occupant or your child from death or
serious injury.

CAUTION
Make sure the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags
off indicator light is not on.
 When the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch is turned on (and the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light is on), the seat belt
pretensioners will not operate in a vehicle rollover
and turning off the seat belt pretensioners can
reduce the occupant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you in certain
accidents and increase the likelihood of death or
serious personal injuries.

The seat belt pretensioner system consists mainly of the
above components, and their locations are shown in the
illustration.
The seat belt pretensioners are controlled by the airbag sensor
assembly. The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing
sensor and airbag sensor.
When the seat belt pretensioners are activated, an operating
noise may be heard and a small amount of non −toxic gas may
be released. This does not indicate that a fire is occurring. This
gas is normally harmless.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have been activated, the seat
belt retractors remain locked.

Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and
children can be killed or seriously injured by the
deploying airbags. An infant or child who is too small
to use a seat belt should be properly secured using
a child restraint system. Lexus strongly
recommends that all infants and children be placed
in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained.
The rear seats are the safest for infants and children.
For instructions concerning the installation of a child
restraint system, see “Child restraint” on page 162.

 Roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch
The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch can
turn off the curtain shield airbags in a vehicle rollover.
This switch should only be used in a situation where the
inflation is not desired (such as during extreme offroad
driving).
When you push the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch for a few seconds with the ignition switch on, the roll
sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light comes on
and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the
switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing
function is turned on.
In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbag on the
impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is
turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to “ACC” or “LOCK” with the r\
oll
sensing function off and then the ignition switch is turned back
to “ON”, the roll sensing function will be back on automatically.

176Install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger occupant classification system. In order to
activate
the occupant classification system correctly, install the
forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat in the following order:
1. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position.
3. Put the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
without putting your weight on the front passenger seat.
4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle.
5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode.
When the belt is then retrac ted even slightly, it cannot be
extended. To hold the seat securely, make sure the belt is in the
lock mode before letting the belt retract.
6. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat
cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it
will go to hold the convertible seat securely.
CAUTION
Push and pull the child r estraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions pr ovided by its manufacturer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint system and secure the child,
complying with the instructions provided by the child restraint
system manufacturer. The occupant classification indicator light should indicate
“OFF”
when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and the child
is in the child restraint system after following these procedures.
The “OFF” indicator indicates the SRS front passenger airbag
will not deploy. If the indicator light indicates “ON”, remove the
child restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position. If the indicator light still indicates
“ON” when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, then
the SRS front passenger airbag may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child
restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child restraint system on
the front passenger seat. A forwardfacing child
restraint system should only be installed on the front
passenger seat when unavoidable. If you must install
the child restraint system on the front passenger
seat, put the seat in its mo st rearward position, and
install the forwardfacing child restraint system in
the proper order. Otherw ise, the front passenger
occupant classification system cannot detect the
presence of the child rest raint system and the front
passenger airbag could deploy.
