Theft deterrent panic mode

When 

 is pressed for longer than 

about 1 second, an alarm will sound inter-
mittently and the vehicle lights will flash to 
deter any person from trying to break into 
or damage your vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the 
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.

direction may cause the battery to 

deplete rapidly.

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.

In order to use the Digital Key, you 
need to install the Lexus App, Register 
the Vehicle to the customer’s Lexus 
App profile, and subscribe to Remote 
Services, and enroll in Digital Key.

A Digital Key can be used when the 
smartphone and server can com-
municate. The Digital Key may 
become unusable if the smartphone 
is not connected to the Internet. Be 
sure to carry the electronic key of 
the vehicle if traveling to a location 
with unreliable communications.

If the smartphone battery is 
depleted, the smartphone cannot be 
used as Digital Key. If the battery 

level is low, be sure to charge the 
smartphone prior to going out.

The Digital Key system is related to 
the smart access system with push-
button start. If the smart access sys-
tem with push-button start has been 
deactivated in the vehicle customi-
zation setting, the Digital Key will 
also be disabled.

The Digital Key cannot be used to 
lock or unlock the doors by touch-
ing or gripping a door handle. 
(Doors can be locked or unlocked 
using the Digital Key App.)

Depending on the radio wave envi-
ronment, the Digital Key may not be 
able to be used. (

P.128)

When transferring vehicle owner-
ship, make sure to delete the Digital 
Keys.

If the vehicle is not operated for 14 
days or more, the Digital Key will 
not connect automatically. In this sit-
uation, the Digital Key connection 
may change to a manual operation.

A part of the services may be 
stopped for a certain period of time 
due to server maintenance. How-
ever, registered Digital Keys can be 
used during the maintenance.

A smartphone with the Digital Key 
App enabled will be able to lock and 
unlock the doors, start the hybrid 
system and perform any other oper-
ations as same as the electronic key 
of the vehicle. Be especially careful 
not to lose the smartphone or allow 
it to be stolen.

Digital Key

*

A smartphone can be used instead 
of the electronic key of the vehicle 
by installing the dedicated Digital 
Key App on a smartphone.
Also, Digital Key can be shared 
with your family or friends using the 
Digital Key App.

Back door

The back door can be 
locked/unlocked and 
opened/closed by the following 
procedures.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the 

body to be caught, resulting in death or 

serious injury.

Before driving the vehicle

Before driving the vehicle, make sure 

that the back door is fully closed. If the 

back door is not fully closed, it may open 

unexpectedly while driving, causing an 

accident.

Caution while driving

Keep the back door closed while driv-

ing.

If the back door is left open, it may hit 

nearby objects while driving or lug-

gage may be unexpectedly thrown 

out, causing an accident.

In addition, exhaust gases may enter 

the vehicle, causing death or a serious 

health hazard. Make sure to close the 

back door before driving.

Never let anyone sit in the luggage 

compartment. In the event of sudden 

braking, sudden swerving or a colli-

sion, they are susceptible to death or 

serious injury.

When children are in the vehicle

Observe the following precautions. 

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

Do not allow children to play in the 

luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked in the 

luggage compartment, they could 

have heat exhaustion or other injuries.

WARNING

Do not allow a child to open or close 

the back door.

Doing so may cause the back door to 

move unexpectedly, or cause the 

child’s hands, arms, head, or neck to 

be caught by the closing back door.

Operating the back door

Observe the following precautions. 

Failure to do so may cause parts of the 

body to be caught, resulting in death or 

serious injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as 

snow and ice, from the back door 

before opening it. Failure to do so may 

cause the back door to suddenly shut 

again after it is opened.

When opening or closing the back 

door, 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 back door is about to open or 

close.

Use caution when opening or closing 

the back door in windy weather as it 

may move abruptly in strong wind.

Vehicles without power back door: 

The back door may suddenly shut if it is 

not opened fully. It is more difficult to 

open or close the back door on an 

incline than on a level surface, so 

beware of the back door unexpectedly 

opening or closing by itself. Make sure 

that the back door is fully open and 

secure before using the luggage com-

partment.

Vehicles with power back door: The 

back door may suddenly shut if it is not 

opened fully, while on a steep incline.

Make sure that the back door is 

secured before using the luggage 

compartment.

When closing the back door, take 

extra care to prevent your fingers, etc., 

from being caught.

When closing the back door, make 

sure to press it lightly on its outer sur-

face. If the back door handle is used to 

fully close the back door, it may result 

in hands or arms being caught.

Do not pull on the back door damper 

stay (vehicles without power back 

door) (

P.117) or back door spindle 

(vehicles with power back door) 

(

P.123) to close the back door, and 

do not hang on the back door damper 

stay (vehicles without power back 

door) or back door spindle (vehicles 

with power back door).

Doing so may cause hands to be 

caught or the back door damper stay 

(vehicles without power back door) or 

back door spindle (vehicles with 

power back door) to break, causing an 

accident.

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy 

object is attached to the back door, it 

may suddenly shut again after being 

opened, causing someone’s hands, 

arms, head or neck to be caught and 

injured. When installing an accessory 

part to the back door, using a genuine 

Lexus part is recommended.
