Precautions for selecting a child restraint system

To ensure safety, observe the following when using a child restraint system.

●

Make sure to observe the precautions regarding child restraint systems.

●

Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the child.

●

Check the compatibility of the child restraint system with each seating position.
Depending on the child restraint system, it may not be able to be installed.

●

For details about use of a child restraint system, check the user’s manual of the
child restraint system.

WARNING

●

Check that the seat belt for the seat next to a child restraint system can be worn
properly. Depending on the type of child restraint system, the seat belt may not be able
to be worn properly. In this case, use another seat.

●

When adjusting the driver’s seat, if it contacts a child or child restraint system, install
the child restraint system to the rear seat behind the front passenger’s seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child
restraint system.

●

When installing a child restraint system with support base, if the child restraint system
contacts a seatback when installing it to the support base, adjust the seatback rear-
ward until they do not contact.

●

If the seat belt shoulder anchor is in front of the
seat belt guide of a child restraint system, move
the seat 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 comfortable position.

Selecting a child restraint system

Use a child restraint system that conforms to UN (ECE) R44 or UN (ECE) R129.
UN (ECE) R44 and UN (ECE) R129 are U.N. regulations for child restraint
systems.

Child restraint system

Points to remember

The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. as well as Canada now require the use of
child restraint systems.

●

Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regulations for child
restraint systems.

●

Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

●

Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appropriate to the
age and size of the child.

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system which is correctly
installed. For installation details, refer to the operation manual enclosed with the child
restraint system. General installation instruction is provided in this manual.

●

Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms 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 windshield or between the
holder and the interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint system

If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving,
or an accident.

●

If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not
reuse the restraint system.

●

For Puerto Rico: Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult
or impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suitable for
installment in the vehicle. 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.

1-4. Preparations for safe driving with children in the vehicle

WARNING

●

Except for Puerto Rico: Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions
provided with the child restraint system manufacturer and that the system is properly
secured.

●

Keep the child restraint system properly 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.

Child restraint system installation method (except for Puerto Rico)

Child restraint system fixed with a child restraint LATCH anchor

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

When using LATCH anchors, make sure that the area around the anchors is free of
objects and that the seat belt will not be caught behind the child restraint system.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

●

Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In a collision,
one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child restraint system attachments
and may break. If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a
child restraint system in the center seat.

●

When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may not be
possible to properly use the seat belts in positions 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 position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.

●

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.

Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors

The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.

With rigid lower attachments

LATCH anchors are provided for the each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the
location of the anchors are attached to the seats.)

er’s operation manual regarding the installation, using the top tether strap to
latch onto the top tether strap anchor.

After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to ensure that it
is installed securely.

With flexible lower attachments

LATCH anchors are provided for the each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the
location of the anchors are attached to the seats.)

Using an anchor bracket (for top tether strap)

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Firmly attach the top tether strap and make sure that the belt is not twisted.

●

Do not attach the top tether strap to anything other than the anchor bracket.

●

After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

●

Outboard rear seats: When installing the child restraint system with the head restraint
being raised, after the head restraint has been raised and then the anchor bracket has
been fixed, do not lower the head restraint.

●

Rear center seat: When installing the child restraint system with the head restraint
being lowered, be sure to have the top tether strap pass over the top of the head
restraint. If the belt passes below the head restraint, it is possible that the child restraint
system may not be securely fixed.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system

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 injuries 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.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

●

When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seatbacks
at the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained
and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.

■

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint 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.
