COMFORT ADJUSTMENT ! CAUTION S Never install of rear-facing child restraint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause severe injury if a rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front seat. S Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward- facing child restraint system on the front seat. S Only when it is unavoidable, should a forward-facing child restraint system be used on the front seat. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of deploying airbag would cause serious injury to the child. S After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident. When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it in the trunk or somewhere other than in the passenger compartment. This will prevent it injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Your vehicle has anchors for securing the strap of a child restraint system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system. To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric bolt and a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer for the outer anchors or a 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer for the center anchor. Note that the bolts accompanying many child restraint systems are not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor nuts. For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket, see "Top strap anchors and locations." If your child restraint system does not provide any of the necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from your Lexus dealer.
