CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers or cardiac de-
fibrillators should keep away from the smart ac-
cess system antennas, because the radio waves
may affect the operation of such devices. For the
antenna locations, see “Antenna locations” on
page 28.
 Users of any electrical medical device other than
implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac de-
fibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation under
the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could
have unexpected effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
 If necessary, the entry functions can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.

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.
