S the extender is available in 6 inch 9 inch 12 inch

S The extender is available in 6 inch, 9 inch, 12 inch, 15 inch and 18 inch lengths.
S The extender is available only in black.
S 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.
