Q Seat belt damage and wear
O Do not damage the seat belts by allow-
ing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
O 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.
O 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 any autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
O Replace the seat assembly, including
the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if
there is no obvious damage.
O Do not attempt to install, remove,
modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs
carried out by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer. Inappropriate
handling may lead to incorrect opera-
tion.
