Move seat fully back
CAUTION
 A forwardfacing child restraint system should be
allowed to be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as
far back as possible, because the front passenger
airbag could inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously
injured.
 Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part
of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the
side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in a child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the side airbag and curtain shield airbag
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.

1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the lap and shoulder belt
through or around the booster seat and across the child
following the instructions provided by its manufacturer and
insert the tab into the buckle taking care not to twist the belt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on the child’s hips. See “Seat belts” on page 168 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. Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sudden braking or a
collision.

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.

specifications are installed in the rear seat.
The anchorages are installed in the clearance between the
seat cushion and seatback of both outboard rear seats.
Child restraint system comp lying with the FMVSS213 or
CMVSS213 specification can be fixed to these anchorages. In
this case, it is not necessary to fix the child restraint system

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
