The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehi-
cle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal or side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle roll-
over.
Q Replacing the belt after the preten-
sioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for the
first collision, but will not activate for the
second or subsequent collisions.
Q PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner con-
trol (vehicles with Lexus Safety System
+)
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter-
mines that the possibility of a collision with a
vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners
will be prepared to operate.
Q Adjustable shoulder anchor
Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from your neck, but not falling off your
shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce
the amount of protection in an accident
and cause death or serious injuries in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve
or accident.

If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS
warning light will come on. In that case,
the seat belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. Failure
to do so may cause death or serious
injury.
