As the electronic key always receives 

radio waves, the battery will become 

depleted even if the electronic key is not 

used. The following symptoms indicate 

that the electronic key battery may be 

depleted. Replace the battery when nec-

essary.

• The smart access system with push-but-

ton start or the wireless remote control 

does not operate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key surface 

does not turn on.

To avoid serious deterioration, do not 

leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m) 

of the following electrical appliances that 

produce a magnetic field:

• TVs

• Personal computers

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and 

battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless 

phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 

Lexus dealer for details.

NOTICE

To prevent key damage

Do not drop the keys, subject them to 

strong shocks or bend them.

Do not expose the keys to high tem-

peratures for long periods of time.

Do not get the keys wet or wash them 

in an ultrasonic washer etc.

Do not attach metallic or magnetic 

materials to the keys or place the keys 

close to such materials.

Do not disassemble the keys.

Do not attach a sticker or anything else 

to the surface of the electronic key.

Do not place the keys near objects that 

produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, 

audio systems and induction cookers, 

or medical electrical equipment, such 

as low-frequency therapy equipment.

Carrying the electronic key on your 

person

Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) 

or more away from electric appliances 

that are turned on. Radio waves emitted 

from electric appliances within 3.9 in. (10 

cm) of the electronic key may interfere 

with the key, causing the key to not func-

tion properly.

In case of a smart access system with 

push-button start malfunction or 

other key-related problems

P.351

When an electronic key is lost

Handling the card key

Do not apply excess force when insert-

ing the mechanical key into the card 

key. Doing so may damage the card 

key.

If the battery or card key terminals get 

wet, the battery may corrode.

If the key is dropped into water, or if 

drinking water etc. is spilled on the key, 

immediately remove the battery cover 

and wipe the battery and terminals. (To 

remove the battery cover, lightly grasp 

and pull it.) If the battery is corroded, 

have your Lexus dealer replace the 

battery.

Do not crush the battery cover or use 

a screwdriver to remove the battery 

cover.

Forcibly removing the battery cover 

may bend or damage the key.

If the battery cover is frequently 

removed, the battery cover may 

become loose.

Theft deterrent panic mode

When 

 is pressed for longer than 

about one second, an alarm will sound 

intermittently and the vehicle lights will flash 

to deter any person from trying to break 

into or damage your vehicle.

electronic key.

To take out the mechanical key, push 
the release button and take the key out.

The mechanical key can only be inserted in 
one direction, as the key only has grooves 
on one side. If the key cannot be inserted in 
a lock cylinder, turn it over and re-attempt 
to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in 
the electronic key. Carry the mechanical 
key together with the electronic key. If the 
electronic key battery is depleted or the 
entry function does not operate properly, 
you will need the mechanical key.

P.351)

NOTICE

When installing the battery, make sure 

to check the direction of the battery.

Installing the battery in the wrong 

direction may cause the battery to 

deplete rapidly.

The surface of the card key may be 

damaged, or its coating may peel off in 

the following situations:

• The card key is carried together with 

hard objects, such as coins and keys.

• The card key is scraped with a sharp 

object, such as the tip of a mechanical 

pencil.

• The surface of the card key is wiped

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the 
trunk opener, entry function or 
wireless remote control.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

Before driving

Make sure that the trunk lid is fully 

closed. If the trunk lid is not fully 

closed, it may open unexpectedly 

while driving and hit near-by objects or 

luggage in the trunk may be thrown 

out, causing an accident.

Do not allow children to play in the 

trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked in the 

trunk, they could suffer from heat 

exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-

ries.

Do not allow a child to open or close 

the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk lid to 

open unexpectedly, or cause the 

child’s hands, head, or neck to be 

caught by the closing trunk lid.

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the 

event of sudden braking or a collision, 

they are susceptible to death or serious 

injury.

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the 

body to be caught, resulting in serious 

injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow 

and ice, from the trunk lid before 

opening it. Failure to do so may cause 

the trunk lid to suddenly shut again 

after it is opened.

When opening or closing the trunk lid, 

thoroughly check to make sure the 

surrounding area is safe.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure 

they are safe and let them know that 

the trunk is about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing 

the trunk lid in windy weather as it may 

move abruptly in strong wind.

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is 

not opened fully. It is more difficult to 

open or close the trunk lid on an 

incline than on a level surface, so 

beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly 

opening or closing by itself. Make sure 

that the trunk lid is fully open and 

secure before using the trunk.

When closing the trunk lid, take extra 

care to prevent your fingers etc. from 

being caught.

When closing the trunk lid, make sure 

to press it lightly on its outer surface. If 

the trunk handle is used to fully close 

the trunk lid, it may result in hands or 

arms being caught.

Do not attach any accessories other 

than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk 

lid. Such additional weight on the trunk 

lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut 

again after it is opened.

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 

30 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. (

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 

and a door handle becomes wet during a

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

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, or use the lock sensor on 

the lower part of the door handle.

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. 

(

P.98)

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 

luggage compartment.

The key confinement prevention function 

may not operate, depending on the loca-

tion of the key (close to a spare tire, the 

inside edge of the luggage compart-

ment), conditions (inside a metal bag, 

close to metallic objects) and the radio 

waves in the surrounding area. (

When adjusting the seat

Take care when adjusting the seat so that 

the head restraint does not touch the ceil-

ing.

When folding down a rear seatback, if it 

interferes with a front seatback, adjust the 

front seat position so that the seats no 

longer interfere with each other. How-

ever, if adjusting the front seat position 

causes the correct driving posture to not 

be maintained, return the rear seatback 

to its original position. (

Front seats

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.
