 Raise the seat to the highest position
 If the head restraint interferes with

the installation of the child restraint
system, and the head restraint can
be removed, remove the head
restraint

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint sys-

tem

Observe the following when installing

child restraint system to the front passen-

ger seat if it is unavoidable. The front pas-

senger SRS airbag inflates with

considerable speed and force that if not

observed may lead to death or serious

injury to the child.

●

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is illuminated. In the event of

an accident, the force of the rapid infla-

tion of the front passenger airbag can

cause death or serious injury to the

child if the rear-facing child restraint

system is installed on the front passen-

ger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint system

may be installed on the front passen-

ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A

child restraint system that requires a

top tether strap should not be used in

the front passenger seat since there is

no top tether strap anchor for the front

passenger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint system

may be installed on the front passen-

ger seat only when it is unavoidable.

When installing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat, adjust the seatback to the most

upright position, move the seat to the

rearmost position, and raise the seat to

the highest position, even if the “AIR

BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-

nated.

If the head restraint interferes with the

installation of the child restraint system,

and the head restraint can be

removed, remove the head restraint.

●

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 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 seri-

ous injury to the child.

●

When a booster seat is installed,

always ensure that the 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.

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-

tion of the lap/shoulder belt.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint sys-

tem

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Use child restraint system suitable to

the age and size of the child and install

it to the rear seat.

●

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.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

●

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,

rear pillars or roof side rails from which

the SRS curtain shield airbag deploys

even if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the

SRS curtain shield airbag inflates, and

the impact could cause death or seri-

ous injury to the child.

■

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.

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 the 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 installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR

lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-

der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to

tighten only. This could cause injury or

discomfort to the child. (

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon

monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases

enter the vehicle and may lead to an

accident caused by light-headedness, or

may lead to death or a serious health

hazard.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the trunk lid closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-

cle even when the trunk lid is closed,

open the windows and have the vehi-

cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as

soon as possible.

■

When parking

●

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated

area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the

engine on for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided,

park the vehicle in an open space and

ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter

the vehicle interior.

●

Do not leave the engine running in an

area with snow build-up, or where it is

snowing. If snowbanks build up around

the vehicle while the engine is running,

exhaust gases may collect and enter

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or
severe rear-end collision, the system is
designed to automatically call the
response center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and
attempts to speak with the vehicle
occupants to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to
communicate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency, con-
tacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the
location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect
can work with local authorities to assist
them in locating and recovering the
vehicle. After filing a police report, call
the Safety Connect response center at
1-800-25-LEXUS
(1-800-255-3987) in the United
States, 1-877-539-8777 in Puerto
Rico or 1-800-265-3987 in Canada,
and follow the prompts for Safety Con-
nect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law enforce-
ment with recovery of a stolen vehicle,
Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle
location data may, under certain cir-
cumstances, be shared with third par-
ties to locate your vehicle. Further
information is available at Lexus.com.

■

sary assistance required.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button,
tell the response-center agent that you are
not experiencing an emergency.

nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.
 ANSI (American National Stan-

dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

 NCRP (National Council on Radia-

tion Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]

 ICNIRP (International Commission

on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]

Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. Over
120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries
reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.
