CAUTION
■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.
• Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
• Always wear a seat belt.
• Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use the seat belt
for mor
e than one person at the same time, including children.
• Children should be seated in the rear seat and
always use a seat belt and/or
an appropriate child restraint system.
• Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat -
ing position. The seat belt is most ef fe
ctive when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
• Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
• Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt extender
is available from your Lexus dealer free of
charge.
