Child restraint systems (for
India)

Before installing a child restraint
system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed,
different types of child restraint sys-
tems, as well as installation meth-
ods, etc., written in this manual.

Use a child restraint system when
riding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the
child’s safety, install the child restraint
system to a rear seat. Be sure to fol-
low the installation method that is in
the operation manual enclosed with
the restraint system.

Points to remember

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

For effective protection in automobile

accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a

seat belt or child restraint system

which is correctly installed. For installa-

tion details, refer to the operation man-

ual enclosed with the child restraint

system. General installation instruction

is provided in this manual.

●

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.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and security

Install the available child restraint system in vehicle upon confirming the following
items.

■

Standards for child restraint sys-
tems

Use a child restraint system that con-
forms to ECE R44

or ECE R129

*1, 2

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.

WARNING

■

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.68, 72) 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 or store it securely in the lug-

gage compartment.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Never use a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat.

The force of the rapid inflation of the

front passenger airbag can cause

death or serious injury to children in

the event of an accident.

●

There is a label(s) on the passenger

side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint

system to the front passenger seat.

Details of the label(s) are shown in the

illustration below.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and security

WARNING

●

Only put a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front seat when

unavoidable. When installing a for-

ward-facing child restraint on the front

passenger seat, move the seat as far

back as possible. Failing to do so may

result in death or serious injury if the

airbags deploy (inflate).

●

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 or rear pillars, or roof side rails

from which the SRS side airbags or

SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even

if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the

SRS side airbags and curtain shield

airbags inflate, and the impact could

cause death or serious injury to the

child.

●

When a junior seat (booster seat) is

installed, always ensure that the shoul-

der belt is positioned 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.

WARNING

■

When the Emergency Call may not

be made

●

It may not be possible to make Emer-

gency Calls in any of the following situ-

ations. In such cases, report to

emergency services provider (112 sys-

tem etc.) by other means such as

nearby public phones.

• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular

phone service area, it may be difficult

to connect to the

ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control

center if the reception is poor or the

line is busy. In such cases, even though

the system attempts to connect to the

ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control

center, you may not be able to connect

to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-

trol center to make Emergency Calls

and contact emergency services.

• When the vehicle is out of the cellular

phone service area, the Emergency

Calls cannot be made.

• When any related equipment (such as

the “SOS” button panel, indicator

lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,

antenna, or any wires connecting the

equipment) is malfunctioning, dam-

aged or broken, the Emergency Call

cannot be made.

• During an Emergency Call, the system

makes repeated attempts to connect

to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-

trol center. However, if it cannot con-

nect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK

control center due to poor radio wave

reception, the system may not be able

to connect to the cellular network and

the call may finish without connecting.

The red indicator light will blink for

approximately 30 seconds to indicate

this disconnection.

• This device may not function if a shock

is applied to it.

●

If the 12-volt battery’s voltage

decreases or there is a disconnection,

the system may not be able to connect

to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-

trol center.

■

When the Emergency Call system is

replaced with a new one

The Emergency Call system should be

registered. Contact any authorized

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Automatic Emergency Calls

If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.

The answering

operator receives the vehicle’s loca-
tion, the time of the incident and the
vehicle VIN, and attempts to speak
with the vehicle occupants to assess
the situation. If the occupants are una-
ble to communicate, the operator
automatically treats the call as an
emergency and contacts the nearest
emergency services provider (112 sys-
tem etc.) to describe the situation and
request that assistance be sent to the
location.

: In some cases, the call cannot be made.

Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button,
tell the operator that you are not experi-
encing an emergency.
