COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
67 Top strap anchors and locations
Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child
restraint system. 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.
If your child restraint system does not provide any of the
necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from
your Lexus dealer.

thick. This can be purchased from your Lexus dealer.INSTALLATION ON CENTER REAR SEAT
