Sit the child in the child restraint 
system. Fit the seat belt to the child 
restraint system according to the 
manufacturer’s instructions and 
insert the plate into the buckle. 
Make sure that the belt is not 
twisted.

Check that the shoulder belt is correctly 

positioned over the child’s shoulder and 

that the lap belt is as low as possible. 

(

P.26)

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.

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.

When a booster seat is installed, 

always ensure that the shoulder 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.

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system 

manufacturer.

Child restraint LATCH anchors

LATCH anchors are provided for the 
outboard rear seats. (Buttons display-
ing the location of the anchors are 
attached to the seats.)

When installing in the rear out-
board seats

Install the child restraint system in 
accordance to the operation manual 
enclosed with the child restraint sys-
tem.

1

Adjust the seat.

If there is a gap between the child seat and 

the seatback, adjust the seatback angle 

until good contact is achieved.

2

Remove the head restraint if it inter-
feres with your child restraint sys-
tem. (

P.138)

If the head restraint cannot be removed, 

WARNING

When securing some types of child 

restraint systems in rear seats, it may 

not be possible to properly use the 

seat belts in positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with it or 

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be 

sure your seat belt fits snugly across 

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it 

does not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a different posi-

tion. Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

When installing a child restraint system 

in the rear center seat, adjust both seat 

cushions to the same position and 

align both seatbacks at the same 

angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted 

to the same angle. Otherwise, the 

child restraint system cannot be 

securely restrained and this may cause 

death or serious injuries in the event of 

sudden braking, sudden swerving or 

an accident.

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the 

security of the child restraint system.

When installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR 

lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-

der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to 

tighten only. This could cause injury or 

discomfort to the child. (

P.28)

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when 

installing a child restraint system, the seat 

belt will not securely hold the child 

restraint system, which could cause 

death or serious injury to the child or 

other passengers in the event of sudden 

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

J1819.

ISOFIX lower anchorages (ISO-
FIX child restraint system)

Lower anchorages are provided for the 
outboard rear seats. (Buttons display-
ing the location of the anchorages 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.

When using the LATCH anchors, be 

sure that there are no foreign objects 

around the anchors and that the seat 

belt is not caught behind the child 

restraint system.

Follow all installation instructions pro-

vided by the child restraint system 

manufacturer.

Never attach two child restraint system 

attachments to the same anchor. In a 

collision, one anchor may not be 

strong enough to hold two child 

restraint system attachments and may 

break.

If the LATCH anchors are already in 

use, use the seat belt to install a child 

restraint system in the center seat.

When securing some types of child 

restraint systems in rear seats, it may 

not be possible to properly use the 

seat belts in positions next to the child 

restraint without interfering with it or 

affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be 

sure your seat belt fits snugly across 

your shoulder and low on your hips. If it 

does not, or if it interferes with the 

child restraint, move to a different posi-

tion. Failure to do so may result in 

death or serious injury.

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the 

security of the child restraint system.

Important! Read this information about 
exposure to radio frequency signals 
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in 
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also 
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted 
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with the 
safety standards previously set by the 
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of 
the relevant scientific literature. Over 
120 scientists, engineers, and physi-
cians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and industries 
reviewed the available body of 
research to develop the ANSI Stan-
dard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect com-
plies with the FCC guidelines in addi-
tion to those standards.

In the following situations, the correct 

outside temperature may not be dis-

played, or the display may take longer 

than normal to change:

• When stopped, or driving at low speeds

to your Lexus dealer.

Distance to empty

This distance is computed based on your 

average fuel consumption. As a result, 

the actual distance that can be driven 

may differ from that displayed.

When only a small amount of fuel is 

added to the tank, the display may not be

WARNING

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display 

monitor may respond slowly, and display 

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the 

driver’s shifting and the new gear number 

appearing on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift again, 

causing rapid and excessive engine brak-

ing and possibly an accident resulting in 

death or injury.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine and 

its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the 

tachometer enter the red zone, which 

indicates the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the 

engine coolant temperature gauge is 

in the red zone (H); or “Engine Cool-

ant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place

immediately stop the vehicle in a safe 

place, and check the engine after it has 

cooled completely. (

Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information 

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around the

Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the engine needs to be running 

during setting up the display, ensure that 

the vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as 

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect 

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to 

death or a serious health hazard.
