

Prioritize and observe the warn-
ings, as well as the laws and regula-
tions 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
appropriate to the age and size of
the child.



Note that not all child restraint sys-
tems can fit in all vehicles.
Before using or purchasing a child
restraint system, check the compati-
bility of the child restraint system
with seat positions.

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 can-
not 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.



The use of a Lexus genuine child
restraint system is recom-
mended, as it is safer to use in this
vehicle. Lexus genuine child
restraint systems are made specif-
ically for Lexus vehicles. They can
be purchased at a Lexus dealer.

Points to remember

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.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and security

■

When installing a child restraint
system to a front passenger seat

For the safety of a child, install a child
restraint system to a rear seat. When
installing child restraint system to a
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the seat as follows and install the
child restraint system.



Move the front seat fully rearward.



Adjust the seat height to the upper
most position.



Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.

When installing a forward-facing child
seat, if there is a gap between the child seat
and the seatback, adjust the seatback
angle until good contact is achieved.

WARNING

●

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.48) 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.

When using a child restraint sys-
tem

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.

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

●

Never use a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch

is on. (



P.42)

The force of the rapid inflation of the

front passenger airbag can cause

death or serious injury to children in

the event of an accident.

●

There is a label(s) on the passenger

side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint

system to the front passenger seat.

Details of the label(s) are shown in the

illustration below.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and security

WARNING

●

Only put a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front seat when

unavoidable. When installing a for-

ward-facing child restraint on the front

passenger seat, move the seat as far

back as possible. Failing to do so may

result in death or serious injury if the

airbags deploy (inflate).

●

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 junior seat is installed, always

ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-

tioned 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.

●

Use child restraint system suitable to

the age and size of the child and install

it to the rear seat.
