• The electronic key has been left in an 

area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the 

outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or 

longer.

• The smart access system with push-but-

ton start has not been used for 5 days or 

longer.

If the smart access system with push-but-

ton start has not been used for 14 days or 

longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at 

any doors except the driver’s door. In this 

case, take hold of the driver’s door han-

dle, or use the wireless remote control or 

the mechanical key, to unlock the doors.

Turning an electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button 

start uses weak radio waves. In the following 

situations, the communication between the 

electronic key and the vehicle may be 

affected, preventing the smart access sys-

tem with push-button start, wireless remote 

control and immobilizer system from oper-

ating properly. (Ways of coping: 

P.443)

When the electronic key battery is 

depleted

Near a TV tower, electric power plant, 

gas station, radio station, large display, 

airport or other facility that generates 

strong radio waves or electrical noise

When carrying a portable radio, cellular 

phone, cordless phone or other wireless 

communication device

When the electronic key is in contact 

with, or is covered by the following metal-

lic objects

• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached

• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil 

inside

• Metallic wallets or bags

• Coins

• Hand warmers made of metal

• Media such as CDs and DVDs

When other wireless keys (that emit radio 

waves) are being used nearby

When carrying the electronic key 

together with the following devices that 

emit radio waves

• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a 

wireless key that emits radio waves

• Personal computers or personal digital 

assistants (PDAs)

• Digital audio players

• Portable game systems

If window tint with a metallic content or 

metallic objects are attached to the rear 

window

When the electronic key is placed near a 

battery charger or electronic devices

When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-

ing spot where radio waves are emitted.

Note for the entry function

Even when the electronic key is within the 

effective range (detection areas), the sys-

tem may not operate properly in the fol-

lowing cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the win-

dow or outside door handle, near the 

ground, or in a high place when the doors 

are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the ground or 

in a high place, or too close to the center 

of the rear bumper when the trunk is 

opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument 

panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the 

door pockets or glove box when the 

hybrid system is started or power switch 

126

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

LS500h_OM_(U)_1809

modes are changed.

Do not leave the electronic key on top of 

the instrument panel or near the door 

pockets when exiting the vehicle. 

Depending on the radio wave reception 

conditions, it may be detected by the 

antenna outside the cabin and the doors 

will become lockable from the outside, 

possibly trapping the electronic key 

inside the vehicle.

As long as the electronic key is within the 

effective range, the doors may be locked 

or unlocked by anyone. However, only 

the doors detecting the electronic key 

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

Even if the electronic key is not inside the 

vehicle, it may be possible to start the 

hybrid system if the electronic key is near 

the window.

The doors may unlock or lock if a large 

amount of water splashes on the door 

handle, such as in the rain or in a car 

wash, when the electronic key is within 

the effective range. (The doors will auto-

matically be locked after approximately 

60 seconds if the doors are not opened 

and closed.)

If the wireless remote control is used to 

lock the doors when the electronic key is 

near the vehicle, there is a possibility that 

the door may not be unlocked by the 

entry function. (Use the wireless remote 

control to unlock the doors.)

Touching the door lock sensor while 

wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock 

operation.

When the lock operation is performed 

using the lock sensor, recognition signals 

will be shown up to two consecutive 

times. After this, no recognition signals 

will be given.

If the door handle becomes wet while the 

electronic key is within the effective 

range, the door may lock and unlock 

repeatedly. In this case, follow the follow-

ing correction procedures to wash the 

vehicle:

• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. 

(2 m) or more away from the vehicle. 

(Take care to ensure that the key is not 

stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to battery-saving 

mode to disable the smart access system 

with push-button start. (

P.125)

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 

and a door handle becomes wet during a 

car wash, a message may be shown on 

the multi-information display and a 

buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To 

turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.

The lock sensor may not work properly if 

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, 

etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again.

A sudden approach to the effective 

range or door handle may prevent the 

doors from being unlocked. In this case, 

return the door handle to the original 

position and check that the doors unlock 

before pulling the door handle again.

If there is another electronic key in the 

detection area, it may take slightly longer 

to unlock the doors after the door handle 

is gripped.

When the vehicle is not driven for 

extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not 

leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m) 

of the vehicle.

The smart access system with push-but-

ton start can be deactivated in advance.

Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-

ing mode helps to reduce key battery 

depletion. (

P.125)

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key 

when operating the system. Do not get 

the electronic key too close to the vehicle 

when operating the system from the out-

side of the vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding 
condition of the electronic key, the key may 
not be detected correctly and the system 
may not operate properly. (The alarm may 
go off accidentally, or the door lock pre-
vention function may not operate.)

Do not leave the electronic key inside the 

trunk.

WARNING

When adjusting the seat position

Take care when adjusting the seat 

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving 

seat.

Do not put your hands under the seat 

or near the moving parts to avoid 

injury.

Fingers or hands may become 

jammed in the seat mechanism.

Make sure to leave enough space 

around the feet so they do not get 

stuck.

Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap 

belt during a collision, do not recline the 

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may 

slide past the hips and apply restraint 

forces directly to the abdomen, or your 

neck may contact the shoulder belt, 

increasing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while 

driving as the seat may unexpectedly 

move and cause the driver to lose control 

of the vehicle.

Operating the front passenger’s seat 

from the driver’s seat or rear seat

Do not operate the front passenger’s seat 

when a passenger is seated in it. In addi-

tion, do not let anyone sit down in the 

front passenger’s seat while the seat is 

being operated or when the head 

restraint is being folded. The front pas-

senger may catch their legs between the 

instrument panel and seat, or the head 

restraint may interfere with their head, 

resulting in injury.

When the front passenger’s seat is 

folded forward

If the outside rear view mirror is difficult 

to see, due to the position of the front 

passenger’s seat, move the front passen-

ger’s seat to an appropriate position.

Doing so may lead to mishandling of the 

vehicle and cause an accident, resulting 

in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Operating the front passenger’s seat 

from the driver’s seat or rear seat

Before operating the front passenger’s 

seat, make sure that there is no luggage 

or any other objects on the seat or in the 

footwell that could prevent its operation.

Such items may result in excess force 

being applied, causing damage to the 

seat and/or the luggage.

WARNING

When adjusting the seat position

Take care when adjusting the seat 

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving 

seat.

When adjusting the rear seat with an 

ottoman, make sure there is sufficient 

space so that a foot does not get 

caught between the ottoman and front 

passenger seat. (If equipped)

Vehicles with a rear seat entertainment 

system: When the rear seat is moving 

to the Entertainment Mode position, 

do not allow hands near the rear dis-

play. Otherwise, a hand or finger may 

be caught, possibly causing injury.

Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap 

belt during a collision, do not recline the 

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may 

slide past the hips and apply restraint 

forces directly to the abdomen, or your 

neck may contact the shoulder belt, 

increasing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while 

driving as the seat may unexpectedly 

move and cause the driver to lose control 

of the vehicle.

Using the ottoman (if equipped)

Do not sit on the ottoman.

If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat 
belt cannot be fitted properly, and they 
may be thrown from the seat, resulting in 
death or serious injury in the event of an 
accident or sudden braking.

When getting in or out of the vehicle, 

retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is 

not retracted, it may cause a fall, result-

ing in injury.

Do not operate the ottoman when the 

vehicle is moving.

Do not allow anyone to put their hands 

or feet under the rear seat when stow-

ing the ottoman.

NOTICE

To prevent an ottoman malfunction (if 

equipped)

Do not place any objects in the rear 

seat footwell that could prevent the 

operation of the ottoman.

Do not place heavy luggage on the 

ottoman.

Do not place any objects under the 

ottoman while it is raised for use. These 

objects may interfere with the ottoman 

being folded, causing damage to the 

ottoman or the objects themselves.

To prevent a rear display malfunction 

(if equipped)

Do not attempt to move the rear display 

by hand, as doing so may damage the 

rear display.
