COMFORT ADJUSTMENT

Fastening front and rear 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 a 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 ªChild
restraintº on page 78.) 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.
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.

Front seat belts only
Power type: To adjust the shoulder anchor position, press
the upper or lower part of the control switch located on the
door. When the switch is released, the shoulder anchor will
stop at that 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 increase the chance
of injury.
To release the belt, press the buckle release button and
allow the belt to retract.
If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for
kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it
retracts.
Seat belt extender
If the front or rear outside seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because it is not long enough, a personalized seat
belt extender is available from your Lexus dealer free of
charge.
Please contact your local Lexus dealer so that the dealer can
order the proper required length for the extender. Bring the
heaviest coat you expect to wear for proper measurement
and selection of length. Additional ordering information is
available at your Lexus dealer.
