Page 113 CAUTION Child restraint precautions ■ 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 114 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When children are in the vehicle ■ Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child's neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
Page 115: Installing Child Restraints
1-7. Safety information Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not com- patible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system.
Page 116 1-7. Safety information Installation with LATCH system Type A Widen the gap between STEP the seat cushion and seat- back slightly. Latch the hooks onto the STEP LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a STEP top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchors.
Page 117 1-7. Safety information Type B Widen the gap between STEP the seat cushion and seat- back slightly. Latch the buckles onto the STEP LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a STEP top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchors.
Page 118 1-7. Safety information Run the seat belt through the child STEP seat and insert the plate into the buckle. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. Fully extend the shoulder belt and STEP then allow it to retract slightly in order to activate the ALR lock mode.

Page 122 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a child restraint system ■ Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen- gers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Page 123 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Do not use a seat belt extender ■ If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
