When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.●
For effective protection in automobile a ccidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a se at belt or child restraint system depending on the age
and size of the child. ●
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 statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in th e rear seat than in the front seat.●
Holding a child in your or someone else’s ar ms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield or between
the holder and the interior of the vehicle. ●
Place one child to a child restraint system and then secure the child with the harness
of the child restraint system. ■
Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in th e event of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing, or an accident. ●
If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not
reuse the restraint system. ●
Make sure you have complied with all installa tion instructions prov ided with the child
restraint system manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. ●
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 rest raint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the luggage compartment.

door or the area of the seat, rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS curtain
shield airbag deploys even if the child is seated in the chil d restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the SRS curtain sh ield airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.●
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 chokin g or other serious injuries that could result
in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfa stened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt. ●
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. ●
When a booster seat is installed, always en sure 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. ●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.●
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may not be possi-
ble to properly use the seat belts in positi ons next to the child restraint without inter-
fering with it or affecting se at belt effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly
across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different position. Failur e to do so may result in death or serious
injury. ●
When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seatbacks
at the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely
restrained and this may cause death or seriou s injuries in the even t of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident. ■
When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder
belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten on ly. This could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. (  P. 3 6 )■
Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when instal ling 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.
