KEYS AND DOORS
21
Together with the activation of unlocking, the personal lights
and center interior light come on for 15 seconds if the personal
light and center interior light switches are in the “DOOR”
positions, and the running board lights come on for about 15
seconds. However, this function does not work when the
ignition
key is in the “ON” position. For further information, see
“Illuminated entry system” on page 78.
Locking with inside lock button
1Lock2Unlock
Push in the lock button to lock and unlock the door.
The front doors can be opened by pulling the inside handles
even if the lock buttons are in the locked position.
CAUTION
Do not pull the inside handle of the front doors while
driving. The doors will open and an accident may occur.
Lexus strongly recommends that all children be placed
in the rear seat of the vehicle.
Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock the
door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. Doors
cannot be locked when either front door is open and the key is
in the ignition.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking
the doors helps prevent the driver and passengers from
being thrown out from the vehicle in an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

If any of the following conditions occurs, immediately
stop your vehicle at a safe place and contact your Lexus
dealer.
The light does not turn off even after the parking
brake is released while the engine is running.
The warning buzzer comes on together with the

work properly and your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly and bring the
vehicle to an immediate stop.
The brake system warning light remains on together
with the “ABS” warning light.
In this case, not only the anti lock brake system will fail,
but also the vehicle will become extremely unstable
during braking.
Any of the following conditions may occur, but do not
indicate the malfunction:
The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It is normal if it turns off

warning light and buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off and
the buzzer stops sounding after a few seconds.

after the engine is started or the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating sound of the brake
system, and it is not a malfunction.

belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light
continues flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8
seconds.

indicator light, “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light, front passenger’s
seat belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies,

to the “ON” position or remains on for more than 6 seconds
or flashes.
