appliances (e.g. television, computer or stereo) or
electrical medical equipment such as low frequency

 If gasoline, polishing agents or oil adheres to the
electronic key, it may deform or crack over time.
The electronic keys are required to deactivate the engine
immobilizer, and are essential for the engine immobilizer to
function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you
make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the
system or start the engine.
To protect items when using valet parking, turn the trunk lid
opener main switch to inoperative or lock the glove box if
necessary, and leave the electronic key (with the mechanical
key removed) with the attendant. For details, see “Trunk lid
opener main switch” on page 126.
If you should lose your electronic keys or if you need additional
electronic keys, duplicates can be made by a Lexus dealer
using the key number.
We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in
a safe place.

KEYS AND DOORS
26BATTERY POWER SAVING
If the electronic key is left within the effective range of the
outside of the vehicle for more than 10 minutes without locking
or unlocking the doors, the entry function is disabled.
If the electronic key does not enter the effective range of the

INFORMATION

To maintain communication with the vehicle,
electronic keys use builtin battery power. The
battery service life is about 1 to 2 years on average.
If battery power becomes insufficient, replace the
battery with a new one.
 The electronic key continually receives
electromagnetic waves, and if it receives strong
electromagnetic waves over a period of time, the
battery can be drastically run down. Therefore, avoid
storing electronic keys near any electrical
appliances.
Here is a list of electrical appliances which may have
adverse effects on the electronic key performance:
TVs, personal computers, cellular phone or cordless
phone recharger units, electric light stands and
fluorescent desk lights
Note that you should always keep such electrical
appliances at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the electronic
key.
