OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

CHILD RESTRAINT

Lexus strongly urges the use of appropriate child restraint

systems for children.

The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. now require the use of

a child restraint system.

Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819.

If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should

sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's

seat belt. See "Seat belts" on page 139 for details.

D For effective protection in automobile accidents and

sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained,

using a seat belt or child restraint system depending

on age and size of the child. Holding a child in your

arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system.

In an accident, the child can be crushed against the

windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior.

D Lexus strongly urges use of a proper child restraint

system which 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.
