WARNING

Caution for use while driving

When operating the multi-information 

display while driving, pay extra atten-

tion to the safety of the area around the 

vehicle.

Do not look continuously at the 

multi-information display while driving 

as you may fail to see pedestrians, 

objects on the road, etc. ahead of the 

vehicle.

Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the engine needs to be running dur-

ing setting up the display, ensure that the 

vehicle is parked in a place with ade-

quate ventilation. In a closed area such as 

a garage, exhaust gases including harm-

ful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect 

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to 

death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that 

the engine is running while setting up the 

display features.

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
