Before driving
CAUTION
■Reclining adjustment
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion, to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined during an accident, the lap belt may slide past the hips and
apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
■When the seatback is folded
Do not sit on or place anything on the seatback while driving.
■When returning the seatbacks to their original position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seat.
●Make sure the seats are securely locked. Failure to do so will prevent the seat belt
from operating properly.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught under the seat.
●Arrange the seat belts in the proper positions for ready use.
■When folding up the third seats
Fix the seats securely by adjusting the length of the holding strap. Failure to do so
may cause death or serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
■When removing or reinstalling the third seats
Observe the following precautions to prevent personal injury:
●Do not remove or reinstall the seats while the vehicle is moving.
●Do not leave the removed seat loose in the vehicle.
●Be careful not to get your hands or feet pinched in the seats.
●Be careful not to hit a person with the removed seat or drop it on yourself.
●Do not sit on or place anything on the removed seat.
●Install each seat in the same position from which it was removed. Failure to do so
will prevent third seat occupants from using the seat belts properly.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal colli-
sion.
The pretensioner may not activate
in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if
you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and
you can move around fully.
■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. 1 0 2 )

CAUTION
■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.
