1-1. For safe use
When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat
■
When you have to use a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, adjust the following:
The seatback to the most upright position
●
The seat cushion to the highest position
●
The seat cushion to the fully rearward position
●
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
■
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large
●
enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt.
If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the
●
vehicle's seat belt. (P. 50)
WARNING
Using a child restraint system
■
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly secure
the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event of sudden braking
or an accident).
Child restraint precautions
■
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 the 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.
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.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
●
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front passenger seat.
