1-2. Child safety
For safety and security
Install the available child restraint sys-
tem in vehicle upon confirming the fol-
lowing items.
■Standards for child restraint sys-
tems
Use a child restraint system that con-
forms to ECE R44*1.
The following approval mark is dis-
played on child restraint systems which
are conformed.
Check for an approval mark attached
to the child restraint system.
Example of the displayed regulation
number
ECE R44 approval mark*2
The weight range of the child who is
applicable for an ECE R44 approval
mark is indicated.
*1: ECE R44 is a U.N. regulation for child
restraint systems.
*2: The displayed mark may differ depend-
ing on the product.
WARNING
●Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-forms to the weight and size of the
child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the wind- shield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not prop- erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sud- den swerving, or an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos- sible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.
●Depending on the child restraint sys-tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suitable for installment in the vehicle.
( P.54, 57) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules after carefully reading the child restraint system fixing
method in this manual, as well as the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
●Keep the child restraint system prop-
erly secured 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 restraint system, remove it from the vehicle.

1-2. Child safety
For safety and security
locking feature), secure the child
restraint system using a locking clip.
5 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely.
( P.57)
■Removing a child restraint system
installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button and
fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the child
restraint system may spring up due to the
rebound of the seat cushion. Release the
buckle while holding down the child
restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically reels itself,
slowly return it to the stowing position.
■When installing a child restraint system
You may need a locking clip to install the child restraint system. Follow the instruc-tions provided by the manufacturer of the
system. If your child restraint system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item from any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer: Locking clip for child restraint system (Part
No. 73119-22010)
■ISOFIX rigid anchors (ISOFIX
child restraint system)
Lower anchors are provided for the
each rear seat. (Buttons displaying the
location of the anchors are attached to
the seats.)
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys- tem
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●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 other serious inju-
ries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to
cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left
and right, and forward and backward to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-tioned across the center of the child’s
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.
●Follow all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

1-3. Hybrid system
There are air intake vents under the
rear seats for the purpose of cooling
the hybrid battery (traction battery). If
the vents become blocked, the hybrid
battery input and output may be
restricted, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery (traction battery) out-
put.
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the
high voltage current and stops the fuel
pump to minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehicle
will not restart. To restart the hybrid
system, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically displayed
when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper opera-
tion is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
Do not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the vehi- cle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery may be
damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexu s retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) air intake vents
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vents
●Make sure not to block the air intake vents with anything, such as a seat cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the
vents become blocked, the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) input and output may be restricted, leading to a reduc-
tion in hybrid battery (traction battery) output and a malfunction.
●When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vents, periodically clean
them with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the vents from clogging.
●Filters are installed to the air intake vents. When the filters remain notice-
ably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vents, filter cleaning or replace-ment is recommended. When clean-
ing or replacing the filters, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Refer to P.309 for details on how to clean the filters.
●Do not get water or foreign materials
in the air intake vents as this may cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
