Operation of each component
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Note for the entry function (if equipped)
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk is opened.
Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
The doors may unlock or lock if a large amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)

Note for the push-start function
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly when the electronic key is on the
instrument panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the door pockets or glove
box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes are changed.
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.
When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
Vehicles with entry function: To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave
the electronic key within 2 m (6 ft.) of the vehicle.
The smart entry & start system can be deactivated in advance. (P. 942)
Alarm (if equipped)
Using the smart entry & start system to lock the doors will set the alarm sys-
tem.
(P. 97)
To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function
may not operate.)
Do not leave the electronic key inside the luggage compartment.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on
the location of the key (close to a spare tire [if equipped], the inside edge of
the luggage compartment), conditions (inside a metal bag, close to metallic
objects) and the radio waves in the surrounding area. (P. 189)
If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly
Locking and unlocking the doors and opening the trunk: Use the mechani-
cal key.

Electronic key battery depletion
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a
year and a half.)
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the
hybrid system stops. (P. 867)
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 necessary. (P. 777)
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not
operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
•Table lamps
• Induction cookers

Operation of each component
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)Hereby, DENSO CORPORATION declares that this 14CCA is in compli-
ance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Direc-
tive 1999/5/EC.
For vehicles sold in Montenegro
CAUTION
Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should
maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the smart entry &
start system antennas. (P. 145)
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for details,
such as the frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio
waves. Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry
function.
Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac
pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators 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 med-
ical devices.
Ask any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for details on disabling the entry function.

Trunk light
The trunk light turns on when the trunk is opened.
Trunk easy closer (vehicles with power trunk lid)
In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly open, the trunk easy closer will
automatically close it to the fully closed position.
Function to prevent the trunk being locked with the electronic key inside
When all doors are being locked, closing the trunk lid with the electronic
key left inside the trunk will sound an alarm.
In this case, the trunk lid can be opened pressing the trunk release button on
the trunk lid.
Even when the spare electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors
locked, the key confinement prevention function can be activated so the
trunk can be opened. In order to prevent theft, take all electronic keys with
you when leaving the vehicle.
Even when the electronic key is put in the trunk with all the doors are
locked, the key may not be detected depending on the places and the sur-
rounding radio wave conditions. In this case, the key confinement preven-
tion function cannot be activated, causing the doors to lock when the trunk
is closed. Make sure to check where the key is before closing the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function cannot be activated if any one of
the doors is unlocked. In this case, open the trunk using the trunk opener.
Overload protection function (vehicles with power trunk lid)
The trunk lid will not operate when excessive load is present on the top of the
trunk lid.
Fall-down protection function (vehicles with power trunk lid)
While the trunk lid is opening automatically, applying excessive force to it
will stop the opening operation to prevent the trunk lid from rapidly falling
down.
