Cautions during setting up the dis-

play

As the hybrid system needs to be operat-

ing during setting up the display, ensure

that the vehicle is parked in a place with

adequate ventilation. In a closed area

such as a garage, exhaust gases includ-

ing harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may

collect and enter the vehicle. This may

lead to death or a serious health hazard.

WARNING

■

Before using the head-up display

●

Check that the position and brightness

of the head-up display image does not

interfere with safe driving. Incorrect

adjustment of the image’s position or

brightness may obstruct the driver’s

view and lead to an accident, resulting

in death or serious injury.

●

Do not continuously look at the

head-up display while driving as you

may fail to see pedestrians, objects on

the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to components

●

Do not place any drinks near the

head-up display projector. If the pro-

jector gets wet, electrical malfunctions

may result.

●

Do not place anything on or put stick-

ers onto the head-up display projector.

Doing so could interrupt head-up dis-

play indications.

●

Do not touch the inside of the head-up

display projector or thrust sharp edges

or the like into the projector. Doing so

could cause mechanical malfunctions.

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 when the hybrid sys-

tem is stopped.

●

To reduce key battery depletion when the

electronic key is to not be used for long

periods of time, set the electronic key to

the battery-saving mode. (

●

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.495). 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

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and

battery chargers

• 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

vehicle longer than necessary.

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.

Theft deterrent panic mode

When

is pressed for longer than

about one second, an alarm will sound

intermittently 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.

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 system with push-button
start has been deactivated in the
vehicle customization setting, the
Digital Key will also be disabled.



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

P.133)



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. Therefore, it
may take some time before the sys-
tem operates after a door handle is
touched.



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.

If the smartphone is lost or stolen, contact
your Lexus dealer immediately.



When taking your vehicle to a Lexus
dealer for an inspection or repairs,
make sure to bring an electronic

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.

WARNING

●

The power 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.

●

When closing the power back door,

take extra care to prevent your fingers,

etc., from being caught.

make sure to press it lightly on its outer

surface. If the back door handle is used

to fully close the power back door, it

may result in hands or arms being

caught.

●

Do not pull on the back door spindle

(

P.128) to close the power back

door, and do not hang on the back

door spindle.

Doing so may cause hands to be caught

or the back door spindle to break, caus-

ing an accident.

●

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy

object is attached to the power 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 power back

door, using a genuine Lexus part is

recommended.
