1-1. Key information
RX350/270_EE
●The card key is not waterproof.
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (→P. 4 2 1 )
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the
electronic key only.
■Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the event that
a mechanical key is lost, a new key can be made by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional using the key number
plate. (→P. 5 9 0 )
■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.
●If the battery cover is not installed and
the battery falls out or if the battery was
removed because the key got wet, rein-
stall the battery with the positive termi-
nal facing the Lexus emblem.

NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
Observe the following:
●Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
●Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
●Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys close to
such materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.
●Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as TVs,
audio systems, induction cookers, or medical electrical equipment, such as low-
frequency therapy equipment.
■Carrying the electronic key on your person
Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appliances that
are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances within 10 cm (3.9 in.)
of the electronic key may interfere with the key, causing the key to not function
properly.
■In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related problems
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle, including
the card key, to any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
■When a vehicle key is lost
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
immediately with all remaining electronic keys and the card key that was provided
with your vehicle.

■Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations,
the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be affected,
preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless remote control and immobilizer
system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: →P. 5 9 1 )
●When the electronic key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
●When another wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that emit
radio waves
• Another vehicle's electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the rear
window

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
RX350/270_EE
■Note for the entry function
●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 on the instrument panel, luggage cover or floor or in the
glove box.
●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 reception con-
ditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic 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 lock or unlock if the electronic key is within the effective range
and a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or
in a car wash. The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 30
seconds if a door is 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.)

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
RX350/270_EE
■If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors: Use the mechanical key. (→P. 5 9 1 )
●Starting the engine: →P. 5 9 2
■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 engine
stops. (→P. 5 6 3 )
●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 nec-
essary. (→P. 5 0 1 )
• 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
• Induction cookers
• Table lamps
■When the electronic key battery is fully depleted
→P. 5 0 1
■Customization
Settings (e.g. smart entry & start system) can be changed.
(Customizable features →P. 6 2 2 )

CAUTION
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-
pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reason-
able distance between themselves and the smart entry & start system antennas.
(→P. 3 4 )
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.
●User of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about
its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
Ask any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for disabling the entry function.
