2004 Lexus RX 330 Owners Manual - Page 247

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS D When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the proper order. (As for the installation order, see "Child restraint system" on page 226.) D Do not remove the seat. D Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately. D Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks. In addition to the precautions outlined above, the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light may not be illuminated when a child sits in the front passenger seat or a forward-facing child restraint system is installed in the front passenger seat. If the "AIRBAG OFF" indicator light is not illuminated in these circumstances, the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front passenger side are in an activated condition - the airbags will deploy if an impact meets the deployment criteria. Refer to all the cautions in this Section and "Child restraint system" on page 226. CHILD RESTRAINT Child restraint precautions Lexus strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's seat belt. See "Seat belts" on page 172 for details. 224
