Introduction
Lexus customers who find it necessary to increase the length of their seat belts may obtain Seat Belt Extenders at no cost through their local Lexus dealer.

^ The extender is available in 9 inch, 9 inch, 12 inch, 15 inch and 18 inch lengths.
^ The extender is available only in black.
^ Owners are informed of the seat belt extender availability through the Lexus Owner's Manual included in each vehicle.

The customer (individual requiring the extender) must visit a Lexus dealership to have the required measurements made and to complete the seat belt extender worksheet. The worksheet will allow the proper fitting and selection of a seat belt extender for the customer. The dealership personnel should then determine the applicable part number and place a Critical Order through the TDN Parts Network

The dealership service department should complete the affixed Seat Belt Extender Label and review the "owner instruction sheet" with the customer. The dealership should give a copy of the completed worksheet to the customer and keep the original in the customer's file.

To assure utmost owner satisfaction, it is recommended that a dealership designate one person to coordinate all activities related to the seat belt extender issue.

From past sales history, it is recommended that dealerships do not stock Seat belt extenders due to low demand and the need for customer fitting.
