For safety and security
WARNING
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag.
An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system.
Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front pas-senger seat. ( P.48)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or
lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of
the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil-
lars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehi-cle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean any-thing against areas such as the dash-
board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys- tem
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be used,
the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause serious
injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off sys- tem is set to “ON”.If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in
the event of an accident, which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.
 Use the window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.
( P.152)
 Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.
 Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that can-
not properly use a seat belt. For
the child’s safety, install the child
restraint system to a rear seat. Be

WARNING
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
●Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child rest raint on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
●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 or rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●When a junior 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.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.

If your child restraint system is of “universal” category, you can install it on the posi-
tions mentioned by U or UF in the table below (UF is for forward-facing child
restraint systems only). Child restraint systems category and mass group can be
found in the child restraint system manual.
If your child restraint system is not of the “universal” category (or if you cannot find
information in the table below), please refer to the child restraint system “vehicle
list” for compatibility information or ask the retailer of your child seat.
WARNING
●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 rear seat (left-hand drive vehi-cles) or the left-hand rear seat (right-
hand drive vehicles). ( P.54, 58)
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child restraint system.

When installing a forward-facing
child seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until good
contact is achieved.
 If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt guide,
move the seat cushion forward.
 When installing a junior seat, if the
child in your child restraint system is
in a very upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most comfort-
able position. And if the seat belt
shoulder anchor is ahead of the
child seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.
■Installing child restraint system
using a seat belt
Install the child restraint system in
accordance to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.
1 If installing the child restraint sys-
tem to the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, refer to P.51 for front
passenger seat adjustment.
2 If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head
restraint in the upper most position.
( P.143)
3 Run the seat belt through the child
restraint system and insert the plate
into the buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted. Securely fix the
seat belt to the child restraint sys-
tem in accordance to the directions
enclosed with the child restraint
system.

locking feature), secure the child
restraint system using a locking clip.
5 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely.
( P.57)
■Removing a child restraint system
installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and
fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, 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 instruc-tions provided by the manufacturer of the
system. If your child restraint system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item from any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer: Locking clip for child restraint system (Part
No. 73119-22010)
■ISOFIX rigid anchors (ISOFIX
child restraint system)
Lower anchors are provided for the
each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the
location of the anchors are attached to
the seats.)
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys- tem
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 choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, 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 junior 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.
●Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
