When installing a child restraint
system to a passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install a child

child restraint system.

Move the seat fully rearward

Move the seat height to the upper
most position

Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.

WARNING
●
Lexus strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and size of the
child, installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the
child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●
Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the wind-
shield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■
Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not prop-
erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving, or an accident.
●
If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.
●
Depending on the child restraint sys-
tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle.
(

P.56, 59, 63, 66) Be sure to install
and observe the usage rules after
carefully reading the child restraint
system fixing method in this manual, as
well as the operation manual enclosed
with the child restraint system.
●
Keep the child restraint system prop-
erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
●
If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.
