ing harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may

collect and enter the vehicle. This may

lead to death or a serious health hazard.

The following keys are provided with
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with

push-button start (



P.126)

• 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.126)

■

Card key (if equipped)

●

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.

●

The card key is not waterproof.

■

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 hybrid sys-

tem 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.

(



P.128)

●

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.359)

• The smart access system with push-but-

ton start or the wireless remote control

does not operate.

You can replace the battery by yourself
(

that the electronic key may be damaged, it
is recommended that replacement be car-
ried out by your Lexus dealer.

procedures.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the

body to be caught, resulting in death or

serious injury.

■

Before driving the vehicle

Before driving the vehicle, make sure

that the back door is fully closed. If the

back door is not fully closed, it may open

unexpectedly while driving, causing an

accident.

■

Caution while driving

●

Keep the back door closed while driv-

ing.

If the 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

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.

●

Do not allow children to play in the

luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked in the

WARNING

●

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, arms, head, or neck to

be caught by the closing back door.

■

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.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such as

snow and ice, from the back door

before opening it. Failure to do so may

cause the back door to suddenly shut

again after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the back

door, 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 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.

●

Vehicles without power back door:

The 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

secure before using the luggage com-

partment.

●

Vehicles with power back door: The

back door may suddenly shut if it is not

opened fully, while on a steep incline.

Make sure that the back door is

secured before using the luggage

compartment.

●

When closing the back door, take

extra care to prevent your fingers, etc.,

from being caught.

●

When closing the back door, make

sure to press it lightly on its outer sur-

face. If the back door handle is used to

fully close the back door, it may result

in hands or arms being caught.

●

Do not pull on the back door damper

stay (vehicles without power back

door) (



P.117) or back door spindle

(vehicles with power back door)

(



P.123) to close the back door, and

do not hang on the back door damper

stay (vehicles without power back

door) or back door spindle (vehicles

with power back door).

Doing so may cause hands to be

caught or the back door damper stay

(vehicles without power back door) or

back door spindle (vehicles with

power back door) to break, causing an

accident.

●

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy

object is attached to the back door, it

may suddenly shut again after being

opened, causing someone’s hands,

arms, head or neck to be caught and

injured. When installing an accessory

part to the back door, using a genuine

Lexus part is recommended.
