OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system. In order to activate the occupant classification system correctly, install the forward−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat in the following order: 1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position. 2. Move the front passenger seat to the rearward position. 3. Put the child restraint system on the front passenger seat without putting your weight on the front passenger seat. 4. Insert the seat belt tab into the seat belt buckle. 5. Fully extend the shoulder belt to put it in the lock mode. When the belt is then retracted even slightly, it cannot be extended. To hold the seat securely, make sure the belt is in the lock mode before letting the belt retract. 6. While pressing the convertible seat firmly against the seat cushion and seatback, let the shoulder belt retract as far as it will go to hold the convertible seat securely. The occupant classification indicator light should indicate "OFF" when the ignition key is in the "ON" position and the child is in the child restraint system after following these procedures. The "OFF" indicator indicates the SRS front passenger airbag will not deploy. If the indicator light indicates "ON", remove the child restraint system and reinstall it with the ignition key in the "ACC" or "LOCK" position. If the indicator light still indicates "ON" when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, then the SRS front passenger airbag may deploy in an accident. Do not drive the vehicle in this condition. Remove the child restraint system and contact your Lexus dealer. CAUTION D Never install a rear −facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward −facing child restraint system should only be installed on the front passenger seat when unavoidable. If you must install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat, put the seat in its most rearward position, and install the forward −facing child restraint system in the proper order. Otherwise, the front passenger occupant classification system cannot detect the presence of the child restraint system and the front passenger airbag could deploy. CAUTION Push and pull the child restraint system in different directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the installation instructions provided by its manufacturer. 7. Put a child on the child restraint system and secure the child, complying with the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. 176
