Lexus ES250 vehicles are equipped with an auxiliary upper anchor point for the front seat shoulder belts. This auxiliary anchor point is provided to maximize comfort and convenience for front seat occupants due to individual seating posture and/or body size.
The original anchor point in the "B" pillar is designed so that the shoulder belt maintains a position that will be comfortable for a majority of drivers and passengers. The auxiliary anchor point should be used only in vehicles whose occupants are inconvenienced by the original shoulder belt position.
