side airbag on the passenger side will not deploy. If the
AIRBAG ONº indicator light is illuminated, remove the child
restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the
ACCº or LOCKº position. If the AIRBAG OFFº indicator light
still remains illuminated when the ignition key is turned to the
ONº position, then the SRS front passenger airbag and side
airbag on the passenger side may deploy in an accident. Do
not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child
restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer.

When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing
child restraint system on the front passenger seat,
install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. Otherwise, the
front passenger occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child restraint system
and the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger seat could deploy.
