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.

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.
 When using the lower anchorages for a child restraint
system, ensure that the seat is moved to the
rearmost position, with the seatback close to the
child restraint system.
 After securing the child restraint system, never slide
the seat.
DRIVING POSITION MEMORY SYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver’s
seat, the height of the head restraint of the driver’s seat, the
seat cushion length of the driver’s seat, the height of the
shoulder belt anchor of the driver’s seat belt, and the positions
of the tilt and telescopic steering, and outside rear view mirrors.
Three dif ferent 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 switch is in the “ON” position
and the selector lever is in the “N” or “P” position.
Setting the driving position
16L299
1. Adjust the driver’s seat, driver’s head restraint height
and seat cushion length, driver’s shoulder belt anchor, tilt
and telescopic steering and outside rear view mirrors to
the desired position.

2. While pushing the “SET” button, push button “1”, “2”
or “3” until the signal beeps.
The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer’s memory.
By 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
16L300
When you push button “1”, “2” or “3”, the driving position
will be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for
that button.
