NOTICE

Back door spindles

The power back door is equipped with 
spindles 

 that hold the power back 

door in place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to 
the back door spindle 

, resulting in 

malfunction.

Do not attach any foreign objects, such 

as stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives 

to the spindle rod.

Do not attach any accessories other 

than genuine Lexus parts to the power 

back door.

Do not place your hand on the spindle 

or apply lateral forces to it.

To prevent back door closer malfunc-

tion

Do not apply excessive force to the 

power back door while the back door 

closer is operating. Applying excessive 

force may cause the back door closer 

to malfunction.

If the power back door is opened and 

closed repeatedly in a short amount of 

time, the back door closer may stop 

operating. In this case, manually open 

the power back door once and wait for 

a while before attempting to close it 

again.

To prevent malfunction of the power 

back door

Make sure that there is no ice between 

the power back door and frame that 

would prevent movement of the power 

back door. Operating the power back 

door when excessive load is present 

on the power back door may cause a 

malfunction.

Do not apply excessive force to the 

power back door while the power 

back door is operating.

Take care not to damage the sensors 

installed on the right and left edges of

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button 

start, wireless remote control and immobi-

lizer system use weak radio waves. In the 

following situations, the communication 

between the electronic key and the vehicle 

may be affected, preventing the smart 

access system with push-button start, wire-

less remote control and immobilizer system 

from operating properly. (Ways of coping:

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 rear 

bumper center when the back door is 

opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument 

panel, luggage compartment, floor, or in 

the door pockets or glove box when the 

hybrid system is started or power 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 door 

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.

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 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 door will automatically 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. Remove the gloves and touch 

the lock sensor again.

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 that 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.126)

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 

128

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

detection area, it may take slightly longer 

to unlock the doors after the door handle 

is gripped.

Fingernails may scrape against the door 

during operation of the door handle. Be 

careful not to injure fingernails or dam-

age the surface of the door.

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.126)

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when 

operating the system. Do not get the elec-

tronic key too close to the vehicle when 

operating the system from the outside 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 preven-

tion may not operate.)

If the smart access system with 

push-button start does not operate 

properly

If the doors cannot be locked or unlocked 

and the back door cannot be opened, 

perform the following.

• Bring the electronic key close to the door 

handle and perform a lock or unlock 

operation.

• Bring the electronic key close to the but-

ton on the back door (
