Page 23 1-1. For safe use SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) ■ The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set ● threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
Page 24 1-1. For safe use Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags) ■ The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehi- cle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

Page 34 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle’ s interior. Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to ● the 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.
Page 35 1-1. For safe use CAUTION When children are in the vehicle ■ 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.
Page 36 1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 37 1-1. For safe use Installation with LATCH system Remove the head restraint. Widen the gap between the seat cushion and seatback slightly. Type A Latch the hooks of the lower straps onto LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor.
Page 38 1-1. For safe use Type B Latch the buckles onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. For owners in Canada: The symbol on a child restraint system indicates the presence of a lower connector system.
Page 39 1-1. For safe use Installing child restraints using a seat belt (child restraint lock function belt) Rear-facing Infant seat/convertible seat ■ Place the child restraint system on the rear seat facing the rear of the vehicle. Run the seat belt through the child restraint system and insert the plate into the buckle.
Page 40 1-1. For safe use While pushing child restraint system down into the rear seat, allow the shoulder belt to retract until the child restraint system is securely in place. After the shoulder belt has retracted to a point where there is no slack in the belt, pull the belt to check that it cannot be extended.
Page 41 1-1. For safe use Run the seat belt through the child restraint system and insert the plate into the buckle. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. Fully extend the shoulder belt and allow it to retract to put it in lock mode.
