There is a malfunction in the system
*1
: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the
front passenger seat, the system may not recognize him/her as an adult depending on
his/her physique and posture.
*2
: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3
: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4
: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in convertible seat, the sys-
tem may not recognize him/her as a child. Factors which may affect this can be the phy-
sique or posture.
*5
: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A for-
ward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat
when it is unavoidable. (
*6
: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how to install the child
restraint system properly. (

Riding with children
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch, etc.
Use the window lock switch to
avoid children operating the
power window accidentally.
(
Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
■
When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child
restraint system to a rear seat. Be
sure to follow the installation
method that is in the operation
manual enclosed with the restraint
system.

For safety and security
ings, as well as the laws and regula-
tions for child restraint systems.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child 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.
■
Types of child restraint system installation methods
Confirm with the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system about
the installation of the child restraint system.
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 installa-
tion details, refer to the operation man-
ual 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 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.
●
Make sure you have complied with all
installation instructions provided with
the child restraint system manufac-
turer and that the system is properly
secured.
●
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.

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.
44
1-1. For safe use
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.

■
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.
■
Child restraint LATCH anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for the
each rear seat. (Buttons 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 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. (
P.26)
■
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.

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
the vehicle.
