COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
77 When installing a child restraint system, refer to the
instructions provided by its manufacturer and follow the
directions under the following illustrations.
CAUTION
After installing the child restraint system, make sure it
is secured in place. If it is not restrained securely, it may
cause injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or
accident.
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with
the seat belt or place it in the trunk or somewhere other than
in the passenger compartment. This will prevent it injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.Top strap anchors and locations
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child
restraint system. Anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet
metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child
restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm x 30 mm x 1.25 mm
coarse thread metric bolt and a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note
that the bolts accompanying many child restraint systems are
not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle
if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor nuts.

78If your child restraint system does not provide any of the
necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from
your Lexus dealer.

same procedure to install a forward−facing child restraint
system.

the lap portion of the belt tight.

Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode.
Place the shoulder bolt between the vehicle seatback and the
child restraint system and allow it to retract. To hold the child
restraint system securely, let the shoulder belt retract as far as
it will go while firmly pushing down the child restraint system.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a top strap,
latch the hook onto the anchor bracket and tighten the top
strap.

82INSTALLATION ON FRONT SEAT
Do not use a child restraint system which requires use of a top
strap in the front seat. A child restraint system which requires

CAUTION

Do not use a rear−facing child restraint system in the
front seat because the force of the rapid inflation of
the passenger airbag may cause severe injury to the
child.
Move fully back

When using a forward−facing child restraint system,
move the seat as far back as possible.
