CAUTION
Never put a 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 death or
serious injury if a rear±facing child restraint system
is put on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not put a forward±facing
child restraint system on the front seat.
A forward±facing child restraint system should be
allowed to be put on the front seat only when it is
unavoidable. Always move the seat as far back as
possible, because the force of a deploying airbag
could cause death or serious injury to the child. Do
not allow the child to lean over 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 inflates, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
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 death or serious injury to the child in the event
of a sudden stop or accident.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
177 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 from injuring passengers in the event
of a sudden stop or accident.
Your vehicle has anchor brackets for securing the top
strap of a child restraint system.
For instructions about how to use the anchor bracket,
see ªUsing a top strapº on page 197.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 ºTop strap anchors and locationsº.
If your child restraint system does not provide any of the
necessary parts, you can purchase the following items
from your Lexus dealer.
