sion.
■
People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. ( → P.27)
■
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the
seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to
choking or other serious injuries that
could result in death. If this occurs and
the buckle cannot be unfastened, scis-
sors should be used to cut the belt.
■
Seat belt damage and wear
●
Do not damage the seat belts by allow-
ing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door. ●
Inspect the seat belt system periodi-
cally. 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
death or serious injury. ●
Ensure that the belt and plate are
locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function cor-
rectly, immediately contact your Lexus
dealer. ●
Replace the seat assembly, including
the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a seriou s accident, even if
there’s no obvious damage. ●
Do not attempt to install, remove,
modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs
carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incor-
rect operation.
