Operation of each component
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying
an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be
pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio
waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
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 is stopped. (P. 527)
As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when
necessary. (P. 472)
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper-
ate.
• 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
Replacing the battery
P. 472
Confirmation of the registered key number
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional for details.
If a wrong key is used
The key cylinder rotates freely to isolate inside mechanism.

1503-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
Battery-saving function (vehicles with entry function)
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic
key battery and the 12-volt battery from being discharged while the vehicle is not
in operation for a long time.
In the following situations, the smart entry & start system may take some time
to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left within approximately 2 m (6 ft.) of the out-
side of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart entry & start system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
If the smart entry & start system has not been used for 14 days or longer, the
doors cannot be unlocked at any door except the driver’s door. In this case, hold
the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or mechanical key,
to unlock the doors.
Electronic Key battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping the
electronic key from receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and hold-
ing . Confirm that the electronic key
indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart entry & start system cannot be used.
To cancel the function, press any of the
electronic key buttons.

1723-3. Adjusting the seats
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
When driving position memory is linked with door unlock operation
If the driver’s door is opened, the driver’s seat will move toward the memorized
position but stop slightly beforehand to allow easy access to the vehicle.
Turning the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON mode, or fastening the
driver’s seat belt moves the seat fully into the memorized position.
Operating the driving position memory after turning the power switch off
Memorized seat positions can be activated up to 180 seconds after the driver’s
door is opened and another 60 seconds after it is closed again. Memorized steer-
ing wheel position can be activated by pressing the power switch.
Correct seat position
When the seat is in the most forward or most backward position, and the seat is
being moved in those directions, the system may not correctly recognize the cur-
rent position and the memorized position will not be correctly recalled.
The auto away function for exiting
If the seat is already close to the rearmost position, the auto away function may
not operate when the driver exits the vehicle.
When the driving position is recalled by a memory linked door unlock operation
Since each memorized driving position is registered to a specific electronic key,
the driving position recalled may be different depending on the carried key.
When only doors other than the driver’s door are unlocked by the smart entry &
start system, the driving position will not be recalled. In this case, press a driv-
ing position memory button to recall the desired driving position.
Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat moves backward during the auto away func-
tion can be changed. (Customizable features: P. 575)
CAUTION
Seat adjustment caution
Take care during seat adjustment so that the seat does not strike the rear passen-
ger or squeeze your body against the steering wheel.

4076-1. Using the air conditioning system

Interior features
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys (vehicles with driving
position memory)
Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the power switch to
ON mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
When the power switch is turned off, the current air conditioning settings will
automatically be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the
vehicle.
The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart entry & start system is used to unlock a passenger door.
The doors that can recall the air conditioning setting when unlocked using the
smart entry & start system can be changed.* For details, contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: The doors that can recall the driving position memory are changed at the same
time.
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the
ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning
(“A/C”) on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
If you turn (“A/C”) off, the windows may fog up more easily.
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/
recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in
preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling opera-
tion, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effec-
tively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to priori-
tize fuel efficiency:
Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
Adjust the fan speed
Turn off Eco drive mode
