The belt should be kept away from yo ur 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 the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident. ( → P. 64)■Seat belt pretensioners●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat. Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a resu lt, the seat belt pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of a collision.●If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.■Child restraint lock function belt precautionDo not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the belt becomes twisted around a child's neck, it w ill not be possible to pull the belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.■Seat belt damage and wear●Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate or buckle to be jammed in the door.●Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an occupant from injury.●Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted. If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus dealer.●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of a seat belt. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate han-dling of the pretensioner may cause it to activate or operate improperly and may cause death or serious injury.
