COMFORT ADJUSTMENT

Front seat belts
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and well back
in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor
and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the
seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on
impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move
around freely.
When the passenger’s shoulder belt is completely extended
and is 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 securely. (For details, see “Child
restraint” on page 66.) To free the belt again, fully retract the
belt and then pull the belt out once more.If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull
the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the
belt out of the retractor.
CAUTION:
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are
locked and that the belt is not twisted.

Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips − not on
your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder
portion upward through the latch plate.
CAUTION:

High-positioned lap belts and loose-fitting shoulder
belts both could increase the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during an accident.

For your safety, do not place the shoulder belt under
your arm.

67 Top strap anchors and locations
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child
restraint system. Anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet
metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child
restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm x 30 mm x 1.25 mm
coarse thread metric bolt and a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer for the
outer anchors or a 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer for the center anchor.
Note that the bolts accompanying many child restraint systems
are not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on your
vehicle if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor
nuts.
If your child restraint system does not provide any of the
necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from
your Lexus dealer.
CRS installation kit (Part No. 04731-22012)
− contains 1 bolt, 3 types of spacer and 1 locking clip.
