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.

●

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

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

cm) of the electronic key may interfere

with the key, causing the key to not func-

tion properly.

drinking water etc. is spilled on the key,

immediately remove the battery cover

and wipe the battery and terminals. (To

remove the battery cover, lightly grasp

and pull it.) If the battery is corroded,

have your Lexus dealer replace the

battery.

●

Do not crush the battery cover or use

a screwdriver to remove the battery

cover.

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.

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 trunk is opened.

vehicle, it may be possible to start the

engine if the electronic key is near the

window.

●

The doors may unlock or lock 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 doors will auto-

matically be locked after approximately

30 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.)
