age: P.84

z If child restraint system regulations
exist in the country where you
reside, please contact your Lexus
dealer for the child restraint system
installation.
z Use a child restraint system until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
z Choose a child restraint system
appropriate to the age and size of
the child.
z Note that not all child restraint sys-
tems can fit in all vehicles.
Before using or purchasing a child
restraint system, check the compati-
bility of the child restraint system
with seat positions. (oP.64, 69,
75)
Points to remember
Q When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
O For effective protection in automobile
accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a
seat belt or child restraint system
which is correctly installed. For instal-
lation details, refer to the operation
manual enclosed with the child
restraint system. General installation
instruction is provided in this manual.
O Lexus strongly urges the use of a
proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and 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.
O Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the wind-
shield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
Q Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not prop-
erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving, or an accident.
O If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.
O Depending on the child restraint sys-
tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle
(oP.64, 69, 75). Be sure to install and
observe the usage rules after carefully
reading the child restraint system fix-
ing method in this manual, as well as
the operation manual enclosed with
the child restraint system.
O Keep the child restraint system prop-
erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
O If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the lug-
gage compartment.
