4. To remove the convertible seat, press the buckle±release
button and allow the belt to retract completely. The belt will
move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or older
child passenger.(C) Booster seat installation
16G037
A booster seat is used in forward±facing position only.

16G052

Move seat fully back
CAUTION
A forward±facing child restraint system should be
allowed to be put on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. Always move the seat as far
back as possible, because the force of the deploying
front passenger airbag could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
Do not allow the child to lean against the front door
or around the front door even if the child is seated in
a child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side
airbag and curtain shield airbags inflate, because the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the
child.

1. Sit the child on a booster seat. Run the lap and shoulder belt
through or around the booster seat and across the child
following the instructions provided by its manufacturer and
insert the tab into the buckle.
Make sure the shoulder belt is correctly across the child's
shoulder and that the lap belt is positioned as low as possible
on child's hips. See ºSeat beltsº on page 88 for details.
CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child's shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from child's neck, but not falling off
child's shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the
amount of protection in an accident and cause
serious injuries in a collision.

Both high±positioned lap belts and loose±fitting
belts could cause serious injuries due to sliding
under the lap belt during a collision or other
unintended result. Keep the lap belt positioned as
low on a child's hips as possible.
For child's safety, do not place the shoulder belt
under child's arm.
After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle
are locked and that the lap and shoulder portions of
the belt are not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this
may prevent your child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
If the seat belt does not function normally,
immediately contact your Lexus dealer. Do not use
the child restraint system until the seat belt is fixed.
It cannot protect your child from injury.

DRIVING POSITION MEMORY
SYSTEM
A microcomputer will memorize the position of the driver's
seat, and the positions of the tilt and telescopic steering, and
outside rear view mirrors. Two different driving position
profiles can be entered into the computer's memory.
Recording a driving position in the computer's memory can
only be done when the ignition key is in the ºONº position and
the selector lever is in the ºPº position.
Setting the driving position
16G064a
1. Adjust the driver's seat, tilt and telescopic steering and
outside rear view mirrors to the desired position.
2. While pushing the ºSETº button, push button º1º or º2º
until the signal beeps.The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer's memory.
By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button, the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
16G065a
When you push button º1º or º2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button.

Conditions for memorized position activation
Ignition key ºONº and selector lever in ºPº position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
However, if the brake pedal is being depressed, the seat
position will not change.
Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver's door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of
the memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (º1º or º2º)
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.CAUTION
Do not start the vehicle while the adjustments are
being made.
Take care not to select the wrong button, or the seat
could strike the rear passenger or hit your body
against the steering wheel. If this happens, you can
stop the movement by pressing another driving
position memory switch, or depressing the brake
pedal.
