3-1.Key information

The following keys are provided with 
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with 

push-button start (

P.108)

• Operating the wireless remote control 

function (

P.94)

Mechanical keys
Key number plate
Card key (electronic key) (if 
equipped)

Operating the smart access system with 
push-button start (

P.108)

Card key (if equipped)

The card key is not waterproof.

The mechanical key that is stored inside 

the card key should be used only if a 

problem arises, such as when the card 

key does not operate properly.

If it is difficult to take out the mechanical 

key, push down the lock release button 

using a pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to 

pull it out, use a coin etc.

To store the mechanical key in the card 

key, insert it while pressing the lock 

release button.

If the battery cover is not installed and the 

battery falls out or if the battery was 

removed because the key got wet, rein-

stall the battery with the positive terminal 

facing the Lexus emblem.

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key onto an 

aircraft, make sure you do not press any 

buttons on the electronic key while inside 

the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an 

electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that 

the buttons are not likely to be pressed acci-

dentally. Pressing a button may cause the 

electronic key to emit radio waves that 

could interfere with the operation of the air-

craft.

Electronic key battery depletion

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. 

(The card key battery life is about a year 

and a half.)

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will 

sound in the cabin and a message will be 

shown on the multi-information display 

when the engine is stopped.

To reduce key battery depletion when the 

electronic key is to not be used for long 

periods of time, set the electronic key to 

the battery-saving mode. (

P.109)

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

Replacing the battery

P.408

Confirmation of the number of regis-

tered keys

The number of keys already registered to 

the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 

Lexus dealer for details.

If “A New Key has been Registered 

Contact Your Dealer for Details” is 

shown on the multi-information display

This message will be displayed each time 

the driver’s door is opened when the doors 

are unlocked from the outside for approxi-

mately 10 days after a new electronic key 

has been registered.

If this message is displayed but you have not 

had a new electronic key registered, ask 

your Lexus dealer to check if an unknown 

electronic key (other than those in your 

possession) has been registered.

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 a long period 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

Trunk

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

If the vehicle is equipped with a 
power trunk opener and closer, the 
trunk can be closed using the trunk 
closer.

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.
