■Child restraint precautions
●For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age
and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper ch ild restraint system that conforms to the
size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in th e rear seat than in the front seat.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when the
airbag manual on-off switch is on. (→P. 5 3 )
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger air-
bag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restra int system that requires a top strap should
not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top strap anchor for the front
passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat
as far back as possible because the front passenger airbag could inflate with consid-
erable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the
door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS
side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags depl oy even if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the SR S side airbags and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured
properly, it may cause death or serious inju ry to the child in the event of a sudden
stop, sudden swerve or accident.
■When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around
a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or othe r serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
■When the child restraint system is not in use
●Keep the child restraint system properly secure d on the seat even if it is not in use. Do
not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child rest raint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the trunk. If a head restraint was removed when installing a child
restraint system, always install the head re straint before driving. This will prevent it
from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

941-3. Theft deterrent system
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F00E_(EE)
■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intr usion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the power switch or
unlocking the doors using the entry functi on, wireless remote control or mechanical
key will re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will au tomatically be re-enabled when the alarm
system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations (if equipped)
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
• The movement of people outside the vehicle
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject to
repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof (if equipped) is
open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the follow-
ing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such asleaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices such as the intrusion sensors of other vehi-
cles
●Unstable items, such as dangling accessories
or clothes hanging on the coat hooks, are in
the vehicle.
