3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

When opening the glass hatch

Open the glass hatch slowly and carefully.

Use the glass hatch opener or wireless remote control when the back door is closed.

Operation signals (when opening with the wireless remote control)

A buzzer sounds once to indicate that the glass hatch have been opened.

Opening the glass hatch while the rear window wiper is in operation

Rear window wiper operation will stop moving. Operation will recommence after the

glass hatch has been closed.

Function to prevent the glass hatch being locked with the electronic key inside

When all doors are being locked, closing the glass hatch with the electronic key left

inside the luggage compartment will sound an alarm.

In this case, the glass hatch can be opened using the entry function.

Even when the spare electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all the

doors locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the glass

hatch can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys with you when

leaving the vehicle.

Even when the electronic key is put in the luggage compartment with all the doors are

locked, the key may not be detected depending on the places and the surrounding

radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement prevention function cannot be

activated, causing the doors to lock when the glass hatch is closed. Make sure to check

where the key is before closing the glass hatch.

If you want to lock the spare electronic key in the vehicle, do not open or close the glass

hatch after locking all doors. Otherwise, the glass hatch can be opened due to the key

confinement prevention function and the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly.

After closing the glass hatch

Check that the glass hatch is firmly locked. If it is not firmly locked, the rear window wiper

and washer will not operate correctly.

Customization

The glass hatch opening operation can be changed. (Customizable features:

WARNING

Operating the glass hatch

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 glass hatch before opening

it. Failure to do so may cause the glass hatch suddenly shut again after it is opened.

When opening or closing the glass hatch, 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 glass

abruptly in strong wind.

Do not pull on the glass hatch damper stay to close the glass hatch, and do not hang

on the glass hatch damper stay.

Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the glass hatch damper stay to break,

causing an accident.

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the glass hatch.

Such additional weight on the glass hatch may cause the glass hatch to suddenly shut

again after it is opened.

The glass hatch may close if it is not opened

fully. It is more difficult to open or close the

glass hatch on an incline than on a level sur-

face, so beware of the glass hatch unexpect-

edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure

that the glass hatch is fully open and secure

before using the luggage compartment. Also

pay attention to your personal belongings

such as bags and ties.

When closing the glass hatch, 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 glass hatch, make sure to

press it lightly on its outer surface.

• The smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 5 days or lon-

ger.

If the smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 14 days or lon-

ger, the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case,

take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or the mechan-

ical key, to unlock the doors.

Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function

When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping the elec-

tronic key from receiving radio waves.

Electronic keys that will not be used for long periods of time can be set to the battery-

saving mode in advance.

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button start uses weak radio waves. In the following

situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be

affected, preventing the smart access system with push-button start, wireless remote

control and engine immobilizer system from operating properly. 

(Ways of coping: 

P. 567)

When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic devices

When the vehicle is parked in a pay parking spot where radio waves are emitted

Note for the entry function

Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the system

may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window 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 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 doors 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 lock or 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 or

the glass hatch 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 func-

tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)

Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent lock operation.

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 this case, follow the following 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 electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with

push-button start. (

P. 128)

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car

wash, a buzzer may sound outside the vehicle and “KEY DETECTED IN VEHICLE”/

“Key detected in vehicle” may be shown on the multi-information display. 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, 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.

Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within the effec-

tive range.

*

: This setting can be customized at your Lexus dealer.

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-button start can be deactivated in advance. 

(

P. 604)

Setting the electronic key to battery-saving mode helps to reduce key battery deple-

tion. (

P. 128)

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 prevention function may not operate.)

If the smart access system with push-button start does not operate properly

If the doors cannot be locked or unlocked, perform the following.
• Bring the electronic key close to the door handle and perform a lock or unlock

operation.

• Use the wireless remote control.

If the doors cannot be locked or unlocked by perform the above, use the mechanical

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 control of the vehicle.

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

injury.

Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.

Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while

driving.

Seat adjustment

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

injury.

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 control of the vehicle.

Be careful not to get hands or feet pinched between the rear console box and the

second seat when folding down the rear seatback.

When stowing the third seats

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

injury.

Check that there is no luggage and that there are no other people around the seat

before stowing operation.

Do not insert hands or feet into the moving parts of the seat.

Do not allow children to operate the seat.

After returning the seatbacks to the upright position

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

injury.

Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rearward on the

top.

Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.

NOTICE

When returning the third seat (vehicles with luggage cover)

If the luggage cover is installed in the luggage compartment, make sure you remove it

before returning the third seat. (

P. 433) The luggage cover may be damaged by the
