■

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

accidentally. 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 from one year

to one year and a half.)

●

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will

sound in the cabin when the hybrid sys-

tem is stopped.

●

that are not used for long periods of time.

(



P.117)

●

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. (



P.343)

• 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.

You can replace the battery by yourself
(



P.343). However, as there is a danger

that the electronic key may be damaged, it
is recommended that replacement be car-
ried out by your Lexus dealer.

●

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

Confirmation of the registered key

number

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 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.

●

Do not place the keys near medical

electrical equipment such as low-fre-

quency therapy equipment or micro-

wave therapy equipment, and do not

receive medical attention with the keys

on your person.

■

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
