1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the lap and shoulder belt
through or around the booster seat and child following the
instructions provided by its manufacturer and insert the tab into
the buckle.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on child’s hips. See “Seat belts” on page 108 for details.
CAUTION
D Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child’s shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child’s neck, but not falling off
child’s shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.
D Both high

under the lap belt during a collision or other
unintended result. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on a child’s hips as possible.
D For child’s safety, do not place the shoulder belt
under child’s arm.
D After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of
the belt are not twisted.
D Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this
may prevent your child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
D If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the child restraint system until the seat belt is fixed.
