Lexus ES-300 2001 Manual page 196

CAUTION
D Never put a rear–facing child restraint system on the
front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or
serious injury if a rear–facing child restraint system
is put on the front seat.
D Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward–facing
child restraint system on the front seat.
D A forward–facing child restraint system should be
allowed to be put on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far
back as possible, because the force of the deploying
front passenger airbag could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
D Do not allow the child to lean against 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.
