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.

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.

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

locking feature), secure the child
restraint system using a locking clip.

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.
