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 pr otection 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.

After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are
locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of the belt are
not twisted.

Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may
prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately
contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use the seat until the seat
belt is fixed. It cannot protect your child from injury.

The micro computer can memorize the position of the driver's
seat, the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and

This can only be done when the ignition key is in the ºONº
position, and the selector lever is in the ºPº position.

outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
