KEYS AND DOORS
20The doors cannot be locked using the entry function in the
following conditions:
G11029

Key reminder alarm
If you push the lock button on the outside door handle
with an electronic key left in the vehicle, an alarm sounds
for 2 seconds and the doors will not lock.
Before you push the lock button, make sure you are carrying
the electronic key.
INFORMATION
 Do not put an electronic key on the instrument panel,
rear package tray or floor, or in the glove box or
auxiliary box near the selector lever, which falls
outside of the effective range of the entry function.
As the alarm does not sound when a key is left in such
a place, you might accidentally lock the doors by
pushing the lock button on the outside door handle
and be locked out of the vehicle. Be sure to take the
electronic key with you.
 If you have the electronic key but bring it very close
to the window or outside door handle, the alarm
might activate. In this case, keep the electronic key
a certain distance away from the window or outside
door handle and then push the lock button again.
 If the electronic key is left in the vehicle, attempting
to lock the door by pushing in the lock button located
in the inside door handle and closing the door will
unlock all the doors and activate the alarm for 2
seconds.

With the knob in the “AUTO” position, there may be a case
that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when
the vehicle enters a dark place such as a tunnel or parking
lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we
recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second
clickstop to turn on the headlights immediately.
When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the maximum brightness is provided by
pushing the “MAX” button.
However, the brightness of the instrument cluster will not be
reduced in daytime even when the headlight switch is turned

The automatic light control sensor is on top center of the
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
When the headlights come on, the lights automatically turn off
about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and closed
with the engine switch off.* To turn them on again, select the
engine switch in “IG− ON” mode, or turn the headlight switch off
and then twist the knob until the first or second clickstop.
If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the
headlight switch is off.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked and
the trunk closed, pushing the ”LOCK” button on the electronic
key turns off the headlights.

*The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking
brake is released with the engine started, even with the light
switch in the ”OFF” position. They will not
go off until the engine
switch is turned off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights,
twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights
to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (”AUTO”), the
headlights will automatic ally adjust to full intensity and/or turn
on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
