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.

●

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.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.

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.

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 ca

rried 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.

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. (

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.

●

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.
