Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,

tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.

riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child's safety, install the child restraint
system to a rear seat. Be sure to fol-
low the installation method that is in

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 installa-
tion details, refer to the operation man-
ual 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 con-
forms 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 wind-
shield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not prop-
erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving, or an accident.
