Child restraint systems
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint system on a rear seat is
much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appropri-
ate to the age and size of the child.
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child
restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 6 7 )
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 installation.
Lexus recommends that you use a child restraint system which con-
forms to the regulation ECE No.44.
Lexus strongly urges the use of child restraint systems.

Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly
secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident).
Child restraint precautions
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depend-
ing on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a sub-
stitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
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 statis-
tics, 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
when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 5 6 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passen-
ger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a
top strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top
strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as
possible and 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 and rear pillars or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the
child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side and
curtain shield 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, sudden swerve or accident.

When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could
result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to
cut the belt.
When the child restraint system is not in use
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in
use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger com-
partment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehi-
cle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from
injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
