When installing a child restraint system
You need a locking clip to install a child restraint system. Follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your child
restraint system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the fol-
lowing item from any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
If the driver's seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the right-
hand rear seat (left-hand drive vehicles)
or the left-hand rear seat (right-hand
drive vehicles).
When installing a forward facing or
junior child seat on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possi-
ble.
Failing to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

When installing a child restraint system
If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,
please contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-
tion.
When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned 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 sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, choking or other serious injuries may result
in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
Make sure the outside rear seat head restraints are not in the folded posi-
tion.
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.
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch
is on.
(P. 135)
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the
event of an accident.
A warning label on the passenger side
instrument panel reminds you not to
install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat

CAUTION
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When using the lower 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, sudden swerve or an accident.

CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install the child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as long
as the airbag manual on-off system is set to off.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to on.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.
