1999 Lexus GS300 child lock

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
133 The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on
impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly.
A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you
can move around freely.
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely
extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot be extended. This
feature is used to hold the child restraint system
securely. (For details, see ºChild restraintº on page 165.)
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull
the belt out once more.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly
pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to
smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

the seat until the seat belt is fixed. It cannot protect
an adult occupant or your child from injury.

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)

shoulder belt through or around the booster seat and
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
as possible on child's hips. See ºSeat beltsº on page 130
for details.
CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child's shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child's neck, but not falling off
child's shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.
High±positioned lap belts and loose±fitting
belts both could cause serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the lap belt
positioned as low on hip as possible.
For child's safety, do not place the shoulder
belt under child's arm.
