The brightness of the instrument cluster lights

When the tail lights are on, the brightness will change. However, when the surroundings

are bright (daytime, etc.) turning on the tail lights will not change the instrument cluster

brightness.

In addition, the brightness of the instrument cluster lights is automatically adjusted based

on the light sensor detecting how bright the surroundings are.

Customization

The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display. (

P. 604)

WARNING

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information

display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond

slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing

rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates

the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red

zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the

engine after it has cooled completely. (

WARNING

Caution for use while driving

For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch while driving as much as possible,

and do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving. Stop the

vehicle and operate the meter control switch. Failure to do so may cause a steering

wheel operation error, resulting in an unexpected accident.

Cautions while setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running 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 including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the

vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

While setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the dis-

play features.

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 can-

not 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 mechan-

ical 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. (

P. 567)

Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (

P. 424) 

Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the elec-

tronic key only.

If you lose your mechanical keys

New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Lexus dealer using another

mechanical key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the plate

in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

Using the mechanical key

When 

 is pressed for longer than about

one second, an alarm will sound intermittently

and the vehicle lights will flash to deter any per-

son from trying to break into or damage your

vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the elec-

tronic key.

3-1. Key information

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-

tons 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 aircraft. 

Electronic key battery depletion

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin 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 elec-

tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. (

P. 507)

• The smart access system with push-button 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

Battery-saving mode can reduce the power consumption of electronic keys that are not

used for long periods of time. (

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 temperatures 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-frequency ther-

apy equipment or microwave therapy equipment, and do not receive medical atten-

tion 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 function properly.

In case of a smart access system with push-button start malfunction or other key-

related problems

Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to your Lexus

dealer.

When an electronic key is lost

If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit

your Lexus dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys that were provided

with your vehicle.

Impact detection door lock release system

In the event that the vehicle is subject to a strong impact, all the doors are unlocked.

Rear seat reminder function

In order to remind you not to forget luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when the engine

switch is turned off after any of the following conditions are met, a message will be dis-

played on the multi-information display for approximately 6 seconds.
• The engine is started within 10 minutes after opening and closing a rear door.

• A rear door has been opened and closed after the engine was started.

However, if a rear door is opened and then closed within approximately 2 seconds, the

rear seat reminder function may not operate.

The rear seat reminder function determines that luggage, etc. has been placed in a rear

seat based on opening and closing of a rear door. Therefore, depending on the situa-

tion, the rear seat reminder function may not operate and you may still forget luggage,

etc. in the rear seat, or it may operate unnecessarily.

The rear seat reminder function can be enabled/disabled. (

While driving

Keep the back door closed while driving.

If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or luggage may

exhaustion or other injuries.

Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,

WARNING

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.

When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-

rounding 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.

Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

The back door may suddenly shut if the back

door stopper is not locked. 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 stopper is

locked and secure before using the luggage

compartment.

Even with the back door stopper locked, the

back door stopper may unlock and the back

door may close when excessive force such as

a strong wind is applied to the back door. Take

extra care to prevent any part of your body

from being caught.

When closing the back door, take extra care

to prevent your fingers etc. from being

caught. Also pay attention to your personal

belongings such as bags and ties.

When closing the back door, make sure to

press it lightly on its outer surface. If the back

door handle is used to fully close the back

door, it may result in hands or arms being

caught.
