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 compartment, floor, or in

the door pockets or glove box when the

hybrid system is started or power switch

modes are changed.

●

Do not leave the electronic key on top of

134

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

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

hybrid system 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 door 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.132)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle

and a door handle becomes wet during a

car wash, a message may be shown on

the multi-information display and a

buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To

turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work properly if

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud,

etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to

operate it again.

●

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.

●

If there is another electronic key in the

detection area, it may take slightly longer

to unlock the doors after the door handle

is gripped.

■

When the vehicle is not driven for

extended periods

●

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not

leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m)

of the vehicle.

●

The smart access system with push-but-

ton start can be deactivated in advance.

●

Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-

ing mode helps to reduce key battery

depletion. (

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when

operating the system. Do not get the elec-

tronic key too close to the vehicle when

operating the system from the outside of the

vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding

condition of the electronic key, the key may

not be detected correctly and the system

may not operate properly. (The alarm may

go off accidentally, or the door lock preven-

tion may not operate.)

entry function can be disabled. Ask

your Lexus dealer for details, such as

the frequency of radio waves and tim-

consult your doctor to see if you

should disable the entry function.

●

Users of any electrical medical device

other than implantable cardiac pace-

makers, cardiac resynchronization

cardioverter defibrillators should con-

sult the manufacturer of the device for

information about its operation under

the influence of radio waves.

●

If it is difficult to see the displayed image

due to light reflected off the Digital

Rear-view Mirror, the camera being dirty

or covered with water droplets, dust, etc.,

or if lights of a vehicle behind your vehicle

or the displayed image are bothering you,

change to optical mirror mode.

●

When it is raining, if the image is unclear

due to water on the rear window, operate

the rear wiper.

●

When the back door is open, the Digital

Rear-view Mirror image may not display

properly. Before driving, make sure the

back door is closed.

●

If the display is difficult to see due to

reflected light, close the sunshade for the

moon roof (if equipped) or the electronic

sunshade for the panoramic moon roof (if

equipped).

●

Any of the following conditions may

occur when driving in the dark, such as at

night. None of them indicates that a mal-

function has occurred.

• Colors of objects in the displayed image

may differ from their actual color.

• Depending on the height of the lights of

the vehicle behind, the area around the

vehicle may appear white and blurry.

• Automatic image adjustment for brighter

surrounding image may cause flickering.

If it is difficult to see the displayed image or
flickering bothers you, change to optical
mirror mode.

●

The Digital Rear-view Mirror may

become hot while it is in digital mirror

mode. This is not a malfunction.

●

Depending on your physical condition or

age, it may take longer than usual to focus

on the displayed image. In this case,

change to optical mirror mode.

●

Do not let passengers stare at the dis-

played image when the vehicle is being

driven, as doing so may cause motion

sickness.
