Page 122 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 123 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions ■ Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the ● child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or an accident.
