1-2. Child safety

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.

Child restraint LATCH anchors

LATCH 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 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.

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.27)

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.

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.

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 
transmitter 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.

ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement) 
Report 86 [1986]

ICNIRP (International Commission 

Safety information for Safety 
Connect

60

1-3. Lexus Enform

on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]

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.
