Both highpositioned lap belts and loosefitting
belts could cause death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a collision or other
unintended event. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on a child’s hips 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 your child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
 If the seat belt does not function normally, it cannot
protect your child from death or serious injury.
Contact your Lexus dealer immediately. Do not
install the child restraint system on the seat until the
seat belt is fixed.
2. To remove the child restraint system, press the
buckle −release button and allow the belt to retract.

Lower anchorages for the child restraint systems
complying with the FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2
specifications are installed in the rear seat.
The anchorages are installed in the gap between the seat
cushion and seatback of both outboard rear seats.

CMVSS213 specification can be fixed to these anchorages. In
this case, it is not necessary to fix the child restraint system with
a seat belt on the vehicle.

CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
 Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
 Do not install a child restraint system on the rear seat
if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the front
seats. This can cause death or serious injury to the
child and front passenger in case of sudden braking
or a collision.
DRIVING POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM
The microcomputer can memorize the positions of the driver’s
seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside rear view
mirrors. Two different driving position profiles can be entered
into the computer’s memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer’s memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the “ON” position and
the selector lever is in the “P” position.
Setting the driving position
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, accelerator and brake pedals,
and outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1” or “2”
until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer’s memory.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
166By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button,
the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
When you push button “1” or “2”, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button. Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key “ON” and selector lever in “P” position
 Ignition switch off and within 30 seconds of opening driver’s
door
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (“1” or “2”)\
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected, the computer’s
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.
CAUTION
 Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
 Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch.
