1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

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.

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.

Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even

if AIRBAG OFF indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force

of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious

injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front

passenger seat.

A forward-facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed on the

front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far

back as possible even if AIRBAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, because the

front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Other-

wise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the

front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt

extender connected to the seat belt, 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 collision.

Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the

door or the area of the seat, front pillar or roof side rail from which the side air-

bags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtain shield airbags

inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the

child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not

secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a

sudden stop or accident.
