■

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 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 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 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-

Keys

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. (



P.162)

●

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 entry & start system or the

wireless remote control does not oper-

ate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key surface

does not turn on.

●

You can replace the battery by yourself

(



P.527). However, as there is a danger

that the electronic key may be damaged,

it is recommended that replacement is

carried out by any authorized Lexus

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or

any reliable repairer for details.

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do not

leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.)

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

entry & start system is not used, the key

battery may become depleted faster than

normal. When not using the smart entry

& start system, it is recommended not to

stay with the electronic key near the vehi-

cle longer than necessary.

Confirmation of the registered key

number

The number of keys already registered to

the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask any

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author-

ized repairer, or any reliable repairer for

details.

■

If “A New Key has been Registered

Contact Your Dealer for Details” is

shown on the multi-information display

This message will be displayed each time

the driver’s door is opened when the doors

are unlocked from the outside for approxi-

mately one week after a new electronic key

has been registered.

If this message is displayed but you have not

had a new electronic key registered, ask

any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus

authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer

to check if an unknown electronic key

(other than those in your possession) has

been registered.

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 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.

receive medical attention with the keys

on your person.

■

Carrying the electronic key on your

person

Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.)

or more away from electric appliances

that are turned on. Radio waves emitted

from electric appliances within 10 cm

(3.9 in.) of the electronic key may inter-

fere with the key, causing the key to not

Handling the card key (if equipped)

●

Do not apply excess force when insert-

ing 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 terminals. (To

remove the battery cover, lightly grasp

and pull it.) If the battery is corroded,

have any authorized Lexus retailer or

Lexus authorized repairer, or any relia-

ble repairer 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 carried 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.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

Before driving the vehicle

Before driving the vehicle, make sure

that the power back door is fully closed. If

the power back door is not fully closed, it

may open unexpectedly while driving,

causing an accident.

■

Caution while driving

●

Keep the power back door closed

while driving.

If the power back door is left open, it may

hit nearby objects while driving or lug-

gage may be unexpectedly thrown out,

causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the

vehicle, causing death or a serious health

hazard. Make sure to close the power

back door before driving.

●

Never let anyone sit in the luggage

compartment. In the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or a colli-

sion, they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

When children are in the vehicle

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

146

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

WARNING

●

Do not allow children to play in the lug-

gage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked in the lug-

gage compartment, they could have heat

exhaustion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or close

the power back door.

Doing so may cause the power back

door to move unexpectedly, or cause the

child’s hands, arms, head, or neck to be

caught by the closing power back door.

■

Operating the power 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.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure

they are safe and let them know that

the power back door is about to open

or close.

●

Use caution when opening or closing

the power back door in windy weather

as it may move abruptly in strong wind.

●

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

partment.
