3-1. Key information

3-1.Key information

The following keys are provided with 
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with 

push-button start (

P.117)

• Operating the wireless remote control 

function (

P.96)

Mechanical keys

Key number plate

Card key (electronic key) (if 
equipped)

Operating the smart access system with 
push-button start (

P.117)

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.

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 engine stops.

the electronic key is to not be used for

long periods of time, set the electronic 

key to the battery-saving mode. 

(

P.118)

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.

You can replace the battery by yourself 

(

P.479). However, as there is a danger 

that the electronic key may be damaged, 

it is recommended that replacement is 

carried 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

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless 

phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

If the electronic key is near the vehicle for 

longer than necessary, even if the smart 

access system with push-button start is 

not used, the key battery may become 

depleted faster than normal. When not 

using the smart access system with push-

button start, it is recommended not to 

stay with the electronic key near the vehi-

cle longer than necessary.

Replacing the key battery

P.479

Confirmation of the registered key 

number

The number of keys already registered to 

the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 

Lexus dealer.

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

Handling the card key (if equipped)

Do not apply excess force when 

inserting the mechanical key into the 

card key. Doing so may damage the 

card key.

If the battery or card key terminals get 

wet, the battery may corrode and the 

card key may stop working.

If the key is dropped into water, or if 

drinking water, etc. is spilled on the 

key, immediately remove the battery 

cover and wipe the battery and termi-

nals. (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. Forcibly removing the battery 

cover may bend or damage the key.

If the battery cover is frequently 

removed, the battery cover may 

become loose.

When installing the battery, make sure 

to check the direction of the battery. 

Installing the battery in the wrong 

direction may cause the battery to 

deplete rapidly.

The surface of the card key may be 

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.

• The surface of the card key is wiped 

with thinner or benzene.

Never let anyone sit in the luggage 

compartment. 

In the event of sudden braking, sudden 

swerving or a collision, they are sus-

ceptible to death or serious injury.

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.

refer to P.524.

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 on the instrument 

panel, luggage cover (if equipped) or 

floor, or in the door pockets or glove box 

when the engine is started or engine 

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. However, only 

the doors detecting the electronic key 

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

Even if the electronic key is not inside the 

vehicle, it may be possible to start the 

engine 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 doors 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.118)

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 

and a door handle becomes wet during a 

car wash, a message may be shown on

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, 

etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again, or use the lock sensor on 

the lower part of the door handle.

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.

WARNING

When adjusting the seat position

Take care when adjusting the seat 

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving 

seat.

Do not put your hands under the seat 

or near the moving parts to avoid 

injury.

Fingers or hands may become 

jammed in the seat mechanism.

Make sure to leave enough space 

around the feet so they do not get 

stuck.

Do not allow the front passenger seat 

to touch the ceiling or sun visor. If the 

front passenger seat touch the ceiling 

or sun visor, the SRS airbags may not 

properly operate, resulting in death or 

serious injury.

Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap 

belt during a collision, do not recline the 

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may 

slide past the hips and apply restraint 

forces directly to the abdomen, or your 

neck may contact the shoulder belt, 

increasing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while 

driving as the seat may unexpectedly 

move and cause the driver to lose con-

trol of the vehicle.

Operating the front passenger’s seat 

from the driver’s seat or rear seat (4-

passenger models)

Do not operate the front passenger’s 

seat when a passenger is seated in it. In 

addition, do not let anyone sit down in the 

front passenger’s seat while the seat is 

being operated or when the head 

restraint is being folded. The front pas-

senger may catch their legs between the 

instrument panel and seat, or the head 

restraint may interfere with their head, 

resulting in injury.

When the front passenger’s seat is 

folded forward (4-passenger models)

If the outside rear view mirror is difficult 

to see, due to the position of the front 

passenger’s seat, move the front passen-

ger’s seat to an appropriate position.

Doing so may lead to mishandling of the 

vehicle and cause an accident, resulting 

in death or serious injury.
