Seat belt pretensioners (front and outside rear seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicl e is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli-
sion or a vehicle rollover. The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.■ Adjusting the seat belt shoulder anchor height (front seats)

Before driving Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with a pre-collision system)
If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat belts
will retract before the collision. (  P. 2 7 8 )■
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudd en stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. To allow the belt to extend, retract the belt and then
pull it slowly.■
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 the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully
retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (  P. 141)■
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi pally 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. 1 3 7 )●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt,
follow the instructions on P. 83 regarding seat belt usage.■
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.

CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury. ■
Wearing a seat belt ●
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.●
Always wear a seat belt properly.●
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 children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat
belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.●
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary.
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.●
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips. If your seat belts cann ot be fastened securely
because they are not long enough, a person-
alized seat belt extender is available from
your Lexus dealer free of charge.
