While pushing the child
restraint system into the rear
seat, allow the shoulder belt to
retract until the child restraint
system is securely in place.
After the shoulder belt has
retracted to a point where there is
no slack in the belt, pull the belt to
check that it cannot be extended.
If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should
be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. ( P. 7 2 )
■Booster seat
Place the child restraint system
on the seat facing the front of
the vehicle.
Sit the child in the child
restraint system. Fit the seat
belt to the child restraint sys-
tem according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions and insert
the plate into the buckle. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is cor-
rectly positioned over the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is as
low as possible. ( P. 3 6 )

CAUTION
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or dis-
comfort to the child. (P. 3 8 )
■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 kill ed in the event of sudden braking 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 righ t-hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat or rear
seats so that it does not interfere with the
child restraint system.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front se at when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

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.
●When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, adjust the seatback
as upright as possible.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to
ensure that it has been securely installed.
●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 inst alling 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 a sudden braking, sudden
swerving or 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 system.
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 sudden braking or an
accident.

■Customization
Settings (e.g. unlocking function using a key) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 5 6 4 )
CAUTION
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant throwing out of the
vehicle, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving.
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be opened even if the
inside lock buttons are in locked position.
●Set the rear door child-protector locks when children are seated in the rear seats.
■Door closer
In the event that a door is left slightly open, the door closer will automatically close
it to the fully closed position.
If the child-protector lock is set, the door closer will not stop during operation even
if an attempt is made to open the door from inside the vehicle. Be careful not to
catch fingers or anything else in the door . Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
NOTICE
■ To prevent door closer malfunction
Do not frequently repeat opening and closing of doors, or apply excessive force to
a door while the door closer is operating.
1703-3. Adjusting the seats
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
CAUTION
■Powe r r e a r s e a t s
●Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●When adjusting the seat position and ottoman angle (4-seat models)
Keep sufficient footwell space to prevent your feet from being caught by the front
seat.
●When returning the rear seats to the neutral position
To avoid injuring the rear passengers, wait until they have gotten out of the vehicle
before operating the switch.
●Using the ottoman (4-seat models)
• Do not sit on the ottoman. If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat belt cannot be fitted properly, and
they may be thrown from the seat, result ing in death or serious injury in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
• When getting in or out of the vehicle, re tract the ottoman. If the ottoman is not
retracted, it may cause a fall, resulting in injury.
• Do not operate the ottoman when the vehicle is moving.
• Do not allow anyone to put their hands or feet under the passenger seat when stowing the ottoman.
■Using the pelvic support seat with seat vibrator and rear seat relaxation system
●Those who are pregnant, have recently given birth, or suffer from ailments requir-
ing rest (heart disease etc.) shou ld consult a doctor before use.
●Do not allow children to use the pelvic support seat vibration function or the rear
seat relaxation function.
●Do not use immediately after consuming a meal or alcohol, or for an extended
period of time.
●If you feel sick while using the pelvic support seat vibration function or the rear
seat relaxation function, immediately discontinue use.

CAUTION
■Burns/excessive cooling
●Use caution when seating the following persons in a seat to avoid the possibility of
burns or excessive cooling:
• Babies, small children, elderly persons, sick persons and persons with a physi-
cal disability
• Persons who have sensitive skin
• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs which induce sleep, such as sleeping drugs and cold remedies
●Do not cover the seat with anything when using the climate control seat. Using
the climate control seat with a blanket or cushion may increase or decrease the
temperature of the seat, resulting in overheating or overcooling.
●Do not use the climate control seat more than necessary. Doing so may cool the
occupants excessively or may cause minor burns or overheating.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the climate control seat
Do not put heavy objects that have an unev en surface on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects, such as needle s and nails, into the seat.
■To prevent the 12-volt battery from being discharged
Do not leave the system on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.
