Seat belts

Seat belts  Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driving the vehicle.  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 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. ●When using the rear center seat seat belt, check that the portion in the illustration is buckled. If not buckled, make sure to buckle it before using the seat belt. ■Pregnant women Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P.29) Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occupants, extending the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of the abdominal area. If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden braking or a collision.
