*
2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*3: When a large child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the sy stem may recognize him/her as an
adult depending on his/her physique and posture.
*

ing the child restraint system properly. ( P. 74 )

front passenger seat, install the child rest raint system on the front passenger seat
in the proper order. ( P. 77)

tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
