WARNING
■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 depending on the age
and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a su bstitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be  crushed against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior. This may cause  death or serious injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper ch ild 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.
●Never install a rear-facing child restraint sy stem on the front passenger seat even if
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. 
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury to the  child if the rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on th e front passenger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint system ma y 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 seatback as upright as possible and
always move the seat as far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated, because  the front passenger airbag co uld inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, the chil d may be killed or seriously injured.
●Do not use the seat belt extender when inst alling a child restraint system on the front
or rear passenger seat. If in stalling a child restraint system  with the seat belt extender
connected to the seat belt, th e seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint sys-
tem, which could cause death or  serious injury to the child or other passengers in the
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
●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, center an d rear pillars or roof side rails from which
the SRS side airbags or SRS cu rtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in
the child restraint system. It is dangerous if  the SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could caus e death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all insta llation 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 inju ry to the child in the event of a sudden
stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
