LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ Booster seat
Fold the seatback while pulling the
seatback angle lever. Return the
seatback and secure it at the first
lock position.
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 system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and
insert the plate in to 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. 91)STEP 1

Laws and regulations pertaining to Anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
CAUTION■
When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock
mode: ( P. 95)
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. ■
When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix
the child restraint syst em 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, 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 second
seat. ●
Child restraint system installed on the third
seat should not contact the second seat-

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
When installing a child restraint system
●
When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat as far
back as possible, with the seatback close to the 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 inju ry in the event of su dden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident. ●
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.●
Shake the child restraint sy stem left and right, and forward and backward to
ensure that it has be en securely installed.●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.●
Follow all installation instructions provid ed by the child rest raint system manufac-
turer. ●
Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing or
booster child restrain t on the front passen-
ger seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible even if the AIR BAG OFF indicator
light illuminates. Failing to do so may result
in death or serious injury if the airbags
deploy (inflate).

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
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 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 no t caught behind the child restraint system.
Make sure the child restraint system is se curely attached, or it may cause death or
serious injury to the child or other passe ngers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden
swerve or accident.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Pre-Collision System
: If equippedWhen the radar sensor detects possibilit y of a frontal collision, the pre-col-
lision systems such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged
to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.
■ Pre-collision seat belts (front seats only) If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses
control of the vehicle. ( P. 94)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in
the event of skidding.
■ Pre-collision brake assist When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed. The system may not warn the driver using a warning light,
warning display and buzzer when the system detects and judges braking
operations.
■ AVS control When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a frontal col-
lision, the AVS optimizes the damping effect. ( P. 331)

3582-4. Using other driving systems
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Radar sensor
Detects vehicles or other obsta-
cles on or near the road ahead and
determines whether a collision is
imminent based on the position,
speed, and heading of the obsta-
cles.When traveling on a road with very light traffic and very little to reflect the radar
waves emitted by the radar sensor, the system may decide that the radar sensor
is dirty, even if the sensor is not actually dirty. The system will automatically
restore itself when reflecte d radar waves are detected.■
Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also be occa-
sions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles, motorcy-
cles, trees, or snowdrifts. ■
The pre-collision system is operational when ●
Pre-collision seat belts (situation 1)
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 4 mph (5 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is ap proaching the obstacle or the vehicle
running ahead of you is greate r than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt. ●
Pre-collision seat belts (situation 2)
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The system detects sudd en braking or skidding.
• The front occupants are wearing a seat belt.

Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of collision●
When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve ●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve ●
When driving over a narrow iron bridge ●
When there is a metal object on the road surface ●
When driving on an uneven road surface (nose up, nose down)●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn●
When your vehicle rapidly clos es on the vehicle in front●
When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure
appears to be directly in the vehicle’s line of travel ●
When climbing a steep hill causes an overhead billboard or other metallic
structure to appear directly in the vehicle’s line of travel ●
When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs ●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment ●
When passing through certain toll gates●
When passing through an overpass ●
When passing through a tunnel
When the system is activated in the situations described above there is also a possi-
bility that the seat belts will retract quic kly and the brakes will be applied with a
force greater than normal. When the seat be lt is locked in the retracted position,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten.
