GS350_250_OM_OM30E16E_(EE)
For safety and security
●The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
●The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when the
vehicle is towed away. (if equipped)
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will be set automatically when the
alarm is set. ( →P. 8 6 )
■Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle, make
sure to stop the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor before setting the alarm,
as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the engine switch off.
Press the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor cancel switch.
A message will be shown on the
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to re-enable
the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.

■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can-
celed.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the engine switch
or unlocking the doors using the entry function, wireless remote control or
mechanical key will re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the
alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject
to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such asleaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles
• The movement of people outside the vehicle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accesso-
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
are in the vehicle.

●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.

NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between
the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection perfor-
mance.

erly, do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air fresheners or other prod-
ucts directly into the sensor holes.
