CAUTION
■Child restraint precautions
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when
the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (→P. 1 6 3 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may 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 seat-
back 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 side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags 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 an 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 compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle 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 an accident.

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 passen-
gers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
●When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and align both seatbacks at the same angle. The
seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint sys-
tem cannot be securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries 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.
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that it
does not interfere with the child restraint
system.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible.
Failure to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

■“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunction in the
system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on.
●The indicator does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is
switched to “ON” or
“OFF”.
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 deploy-
ment (inflation) may cause death or serious injury.
■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 death or serious injury.
