When the electronic key is placed near a 

battery charger or electronic devices

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 rear 

bumper center 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 

engine is started or engine switch 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 

engine 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 or unlock sensor 

while wearing gloves may prevent lock or 

unlock 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.94)

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 both side 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 handle operation or a handle 

operation immediately after entering the 

effective range may prevent the doors 

from being unlocked. Touch the door 

unlock sensor and check that the doors 

are unlocked before pulling the door 

handle again.

Unlocking the vehicle may take more 

time if another electronic key is within the 

effective range.

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.

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. 

The key confinement prevention function 

may not operate, depending on the loca-

tion of the key (close to a spare tire [if 

equipped], the inside edge of the trunk), 

conditions (inside a metal bag, close to 

metallic objects) and the radio waves in 

the surrounding area. (

The radio waves may affect the opera-

tion of such devices. If necessary, the 

entry function can be disabled. Ask 

your Lexus dealer for details, such as 

the frequency of radio waves and tim-

ing of the emitted radio waves. Then, 

consult your doctor to see if you 

should disable the entry function.

Users of any electrical medical device 

other than implantable cardiac pace-

makers, cardiac resynchronization 

therapy-pacemakers or implantable 

cardioverter defibrillators should con-

sult the manufacturer of the device for 

information about its operation under 

the influence of radio waves.

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.

that has been registered to the driv-
ing position, and then unlock and 
open the driver’s door using the 
smart access system with push-but-
ton start or wireless remote control.

The driving position will move to the 

recorded position (not including the steer-

ing wheel). However, the seat will move to 

a position slightly behind the recorded 

position in order to make entering the vehi-

cle easier.
If the driving position is in a position that 

has already been recorded, the seat and 

outside rear view mirrors will not move.

Turn the engine switch to ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON 
mode, or fasten a seat belt.

The seat and steering wheel will move to 

the recorded position.

Recalling the driving position using the 

memory recall function

Different driving positions can be regis-

tered for each electronic key. Therefore, 

the driving position that is recalled may 

be different depending on the key being 

carried.

If a door other than the driver’s door is 

unlocked with the smart access system 

with push-button start, the driving posi-

tion cannot be recalled. In this case, press 

the driving position button which has 

been set.
