1-7. Safety information
When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
■
Selecting an appropriate child restraint system
■
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
●
large enough to properly wear the vehicle' s seat belt.
If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and
●
use the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 89)
CAUTION
Using a child restraint system
■
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not properly
secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the event of sud-
den braking or an accident).
Child restraint precautions
■
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must
●
be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on
the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind-
shield, or between you and the vehicle's interior. This may cause death or serious
injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or an accident.
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.

When you have to use a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back to the most upright position and adjust
the seat to the fully rearward and uppermost
position.
