3-1.Key information

The following keys are provided with 
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with 

push-button start (

P.137)

• Operating the wireless remote control 

function

Mechanical keys

Key number plate

Card key (electronic key) (if 
equipped)

Operating the smart access system with 
push-button start (

P.137)

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 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.

Electronic 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 

<hybrid system> is stopped.

Electronic keys that will not be used for 

long periods of time can be set to the bat-

tery-saving mode in advance. (

P.139)

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. (

P.368)

• 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.368). However, as there is a danger 

that the electronic key may be damaged, it 
is recommended that replacement be car-
ried 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

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and 

battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless 

phones

• Table lamps

• Induction cookers

Replacing the battery

P.368

Confirmation of the registered key 

number

The number of keys already registered to 

the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 

Lexus dealer 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 10 days after a new electronic key 

has been registered.

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.

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.

Do not place the keys near medical 

electrical equipment such as low-fre-

quency therapy equipment or micro-

wave therapy equipment, and do not 

receive medical attention 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 func-

tion properly.

In case of a smart access system with 

push-button start malfunction or 

other key-related problems

P.415

When an electronic key is lost

P.413

Handling the card key (if equipped)

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.

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 mechanical 
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.

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.

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the 
trunk opener switch, entry function 
or wireless remote control.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

Before driving

Make sure that the trunk lid is fully 

closed. If the trunk lid is not fully 

closed, it may open unexpectedly 

while driving and hit near-by objects or 

luggage in the trunk may be thrown 

out, causing an accident.

Do not allow children to play in the 

trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked in the 

trunk, they could suffer from heat 

exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-

ries.

Do not allow a child to open or close 

the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk lid to 

open unexpectedly, or cause the 

child’s hands, head, or neck to be 

caught by the closing trunk lid.

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the 

event of sudden braking or a collision, 

they are susceptible to death or serious 

injury.

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the 

body to be caught, resulting in serious 

injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as 

snow and ice, from the trunk lid before 

opening it. Failure to do so may cause 

the trunk lid to suddenly shut again 

after it is opened.

When opening or closing the trunk lid, 

thoroughly check to make sure the 

surrounding area is safe.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure 

they are safe and let them know that 

the trunk is about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing 

the trunk lid in windy weather as it may 

move abruptly in strong wind.

On an incline it is more difficult to 

open or close the trunk lid than on a 

level surface, so beware of the trunk lid 

unexpectedly opening or closing by 

itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is 

fully open and secure before using the 

trunk.

When opening the trunk lid, take care 

so that it does not hit anyone in the 

face or any other part of the body.

When closing the trunk lid, take extra 

care to prevent your fingers etc. from 

being caught.

When closing the trunk lid, make sure 

to press it lightly on its outer surface. If 

the trunk grip is used to fully close the 

trunk lid, it may result in hands or arms 

being caught.

vated so the trunk can be opened. In 

order to prevent theft, take all electronic 

keys with you when leaving the vehicle.

If the electronic key is put in the trunk 

with both side doors locked, the key may 

not be detected depending on the loca-

tion of the key and the surrounding radio 

wave conditions. In this case, the key con-

finement prevention function cannot be 

activated, causing the trunk to be locked 

when the trunk lid is closed. Make sure to 

check where the key is before closing the 

trunk.

The key confinement prevention function 

cannot be activated if either door is 

unlocked. In this case, open the trunk 

using the trunk opener switch.

If the trunk lid is closed by a hand having

Battery-saving function

The battery-saving function will be acti-

vated in order to prevent the electronic key 

battery and the 12-volt battery from being 

discharged while the vehicle is not in opera-

tion for a long time.

In the following situations, the smart 

access system with push-button start may 

take some time to unlock the doors.

• The electronic key has been left within 

approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of 

the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.

• The smart access system with push-but-

ton start has not been used for 5 days or 

longer.

where, the function of the electronic key 

stops to reduce depletion of the battery. In 

this case, function can automatically be 

restored by moving the position of the key 

such as by lifting it up.

Conditions affecting operation

The smart access system with push-button 

start uses weak radio waves. In the follow-

ing situations, the communication between 

the electronic key and the vehicle may be 

affected, preventing the smart access sys-

tem with push-button start, wireless remote

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 near the ground or 

in a high place, or too close to the rear 

bumper center when the trunk is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument 

panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the 

door pockets or glove box when the 

engine <hybrid system> is started or 

engine switch <power 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 <hybrid system> if the electronic 

key is near the window.

The doors may unlock or lock 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 auto-

matically 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.)

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 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.139)

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 both side doors.

If an outside door handle is not retracted 

during a car wash, a door may be opened 

or an outside door handle may be dam-

aged. Make sure that the outside door 

handles are retracted before using the 

car wash.

A sudden handle operation or a handle 

operation immediately after entering the 

effective range may prevent the doors 

from being unlocked. Touch the door 

unlock sensor and check that the doors 

are unlocked before pulling the door 

handle again.

Unlocking the vehicle may take more 

time if another electronic key is within the 

effective range.

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. (

P.139)

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key 

when operating the system. Do not get 

the electronic key too close to the vehicle 

when operating the system from the out-

side 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 oper-

ate.)

Do not leave the electronic key inside the 

trunk.

The key confinement prevention function 

may not operate, depending on the loca-

tion of the key (the inside edge of the 

trunk), conditions (inside a metal bag, 

close to metallic objects) and the radio 

waves in the surrounding area. (
