138To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the
tab into the seat belt buckle so that the ºPRESSº
signs on the buckle release buttons of the extender
and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle
release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This
helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and
extender itself.
When not in use, remove the extender and store in the
vehicle for future use.

secured with the seat belt or place it in the trunk or
somewhere other than in the passenger compartment.
This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop or accident.
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a
child restraint system. The 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 for the outer anchors or a 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer
for the center anchor. 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.
For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket,
see ºTop strap anchors and locationsº.
If your child restraint system does not provide any of the
necessary parts, you can purchase the following items
from your Lexus dealer.
CRS installation kit (Part No. 04731±22012)

child following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer and insert the tab into the buckle.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the
child's shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low

sliding under the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the lap belt
positioned as low on hip as possible.
