CAUTION
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from
being thrown out from the vehicle during an accident.
It also helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
Always m ake sure the head, hands and other parts of
the body of all occupants are kept completely inside
the vehicle before you close the power windows. If
someone's neck, head or hands gets caught in a
closing window, it could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safely.
When small children are in the vehicle, never let them
use the power window switches without supervision.
Use the window lock switch to prevent them from
making unexpected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in the vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window switches and get
trapped in a window. Unattended children can
become involved in serious accidents.

Fastening front and rear seat belts
16L115a
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and
well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out
of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size
and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on
impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly.
A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you
can move around freely.When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely
extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot be extended. This
feature is used to hold the child restraint system
securely.
(For details, see ºChild restraintº on page 176.)
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull
the belt out once more.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly
pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to
smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.

A forward±facing child restraint system should
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.
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 anchors for securing the top strap of a
child restraint system. The anchor nuts are welded
beneath the sheet metal to permit installation of an
anchor bracket for a child restraint system. 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.
CRS installation kit (Part No. 04731±22012)
± contains 1 bolt, 3 types of spacer and 1 locking clip.
