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 so that you can move around fully.
Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally 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. 166)
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 108 regarding seat belt usage.
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will acti-
vate for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent
collisions.
Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for seat belt replacement or installation.

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 once, 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.

CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and
can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits
upright.
Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint
system. Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be
placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear
seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P.
166)
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long
as the airbag manual on-off system is set to off.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to on.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.

Child restraint systems
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear
seat is much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is
appropriate to the age and size of the child.
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
(P. 176)
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where
you reside, please contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for
the child restraint system installation.
Lexus recommends that you use a child restraint system which
conforms to the regulation ECE No.44.
Lexus strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.
