1-2. Child safety
WARNING
When a child is riding
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
●
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system which is correctly
installed. For installation details, refer to the operation manual enclosed with the child
restraint system. General installation instruction is provided in this manual.
Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to the
●
weight and 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.
Holding a child in your or someone else's arms is not a substitute for a child restraint
●
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield or between
the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
Handling the child restraint system
■
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing, or an accident.
If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
●
the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not
reuse the restraint system.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided with the child
●
restraint system manufacturer and that the system is properly secured.
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use. Do
●
not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or
●
store it securely in the trunk.
