extended.
6If the child restraint has a top tether
strap, follow the child restraint man-
ufacturer’s operation manual
regarding the installation, using the
top tether strap to latch onto the
top tether strap anchor. ( P.51)
7 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely.
(P.49)
■Booster seat
1 If installing the child restraint sys-
tem to the front passenger seat is
unavoidable, refer to P.44 for front
passenger seat adjustment.
2 Place the child restraint system on
the seat facing the front of the vehi-
cle.
Booster type
High back type
3 Sit the child in the child restraint
system. Fit the seat belt to the child
restraint system according to the
manufacturer’s in structions and
insert the plate into the buckle.
Make sure that the belt is not
twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is correctly
positioned over the child’s shoulder and
that the lap belt is as low as possible.
(  P.24)
■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 sp ring up due to the
rebound of the seat cushion. Release the
buckle while holding down the child
restraint system.
Since the seat belt auto matically reels itself,
slowly return it to the stowing position.

For safety and security
■Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
outboard rear seat. (Marks 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 booster seat is installed,
always ensure that th e 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 pro-
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in position s next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat 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 posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR
lock mode, do not fu lly extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to
tighten only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. ( P.26)
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when
installing a child restra int 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.

could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.
