CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to
the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never install a rear facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the rear facing child restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
●A forward facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed on the
front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that
requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since
there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the
seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, because the front pas-
senger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the
child may be killed or seriously injured.
●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the
front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child
restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other
passengers in the event of an accident.
●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 from which the side airbags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the
child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not
secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop or an accident.

Before driving
10_IS250C/350C_UPass the end of the top tether strap
through the gap between the seat
and the head restraint. Fold the
head restraint forward into the
stowed position. (
→P. 6 2 ) O p e n

hook onto the anchor bracket and
tighten the top tether strap. Return
the head restraint to the upright
position.
Make sure the top tether strap is
securely latched.
Close the anchor bracket cover
after install the child restraint sys-
tem.
STEP2
■When installing a child restraint system with lower anchors and a top tether strap
Depending on the child restraint system's size and shape, if the child restraint sys-
tem is installed to the LATCH anchors first, it may not be possible to attach the top
tether strap to the anchor bracket.
In that case, first temporarily attach the top tether strap to the anchor bracket, install
the child restraint system using the lower anchors and then tighten the top tether
strap.
■Laws and regulations pe rtaining to anchorages
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.

CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder. Failing to
do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
●Make sure the rear seat head restraints are not in the folded position.
●Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●Push and pull the child seat from side to side and forward to be sure it is secure.
●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-
turer.
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt
will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious
injury to the child or other passengers in the event of an accident.
■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around
the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint. Make sure
the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious
injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
NOTICE
■When using an anchor bracket
To avoid cover damage, be careful not to open the cover too widely.
