Adjusting the mirrorsSeat belts
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous 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, includ-ing 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 nec- essary. 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.

■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were princi- pally 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.48)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, fol-
low the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
■Seat belt regulations
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer for seat belt replacement or installation.
1 To fasten the seat belt, push the
plate into the buckle until a click
sound is heard.
2 To release the seat belt, press the
release button .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sud- den 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.
The front seats are equipped with
guides to allow the seat belts to be
extended easily. When it is difficult to
extend the seat belt, pass the seat belt
through the guide.
When getting into or out of a rear seat,
release the seat belt from the guide.
