COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
D A forward–facing child restraint system should be put on
the front seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying
airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child. Do
not allow the child to lean over the front door or around the
front door even if the child is seated in a child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the side airbag inflates, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
D After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is
secured in place according to the manufacturer's
instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause
death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden
stop or accident.
106
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the
seat belt or place it somewhere other than in the passenger
compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the
event of a sudden stop or accident.
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint
system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to
permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system.
To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm X 30 mm X 1.25 mm
coarse thread metric bolt and a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that the
bolts accompanying many child restraint systems are not metric.
You can damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle if you force bolts
with different thread into the anchor nuts.
For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket, see "Top
strap anchors and locations".
If your child restraint system does not provide any of the necessary
parts, you can purchase the following items from your Lexus dealer.
