CAUTION
While driving
Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.
Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
Adjusting the seat position:
Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers
are not injured by the moving seat.
Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

When installing a child restraint system
You need a locking clip to install a child restraint system. Follow the

lowing item from any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly

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
