671-2. Child safety
1
For safety and security
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
If your child restraint system is not
equipped with a lock-off (a seat
belt locking feature), secure the
child restraint system using a
locking clip.
After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to ensure
that it is installed securely. ( P. 68)
◆Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the bu ckle, the child restraint system may spring up due to the rebound of the seat cushion. Release the buckle while holding down the child
restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself , slowly return it to the stowing position.
■When installing a child restraint system
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint system. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. If your child restraint system does not pro-
vide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item from any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional: Locking clip forchild restraint system

1943-3. Adjusting the seats
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
WARNING
■Jam protection function (power seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intent ionally activate the jam protection function.
●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
rear seatback is fully folded forward. Be careful not to get fingers or anything else
caught.
●The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that
is caught. Be careful not to get fingers or anything else caught.
NOTICE
■Stowing the seat belts
The seat belt for the rear center seat, seat belt buckles and armrest must be stowed before you fold down the rear seatbacks. ( P. 576)

2083-4. Adjusting the steering wheel and mirrors
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
When the mirror select switch is in the “L” or “R” position, the outside rear view
mirrors will automatically angle downwa rds when the vehicle is reversing in
order to give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, select neither “L” nor “R” of the mirror select switch.
■Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired position.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and the mirror will automatically tilt to
the memorized angle whenever the shift lever is shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of the mirror is linked to the normal position (angle adjusted with the shif t lever in other than R). Therefore, if the normal posi- tion is changed after adjustment, th e tilt position will also change.
When the normal position is changed, readjust the angle in reversing.
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
The automatic folding/extending mirror function will return to off as default. To turn the
function on, press the switch again to select on.
■When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be clea red using the mirror defoggers. Turn on the
rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror defoggers. ( P. 542)
■Automatic adjustment of the mirror angle (if equipped)
A desired mirror face angle can be entered to memory and recalled automatically by the
driving position memory. ( P. 195)
■Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the outside rear
view mirrors will activate in co njunction with the anti-glare inside rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. ( P. 204)
■Using automatic mode in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weat her, the door mirror could freeze up and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this case, remove any ice and snowfrom the door mirror, then either operate the mirror using manual mode or move the mir-
ror by hand.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 740)
