Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully closed, it may
open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage in the luggage
compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,
head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects or luggage in the luggage com-
partment may be thrown out, causing an accident.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before opening it.
Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or clos ing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-
rounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing the ba ck door in windy weather as it may move
abruptly in strong wind.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the back door on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the back door
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage compart-
ment.

●Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do not hang on
the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break, caus-
ing an accident.
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may sud-
denly shut closed again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck
to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a
genuine Lexus part is recommended.
NOTICE
■Back door damper stays
The back door is equipped with damper stays that hold the back door in place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the b ack door damper stay, resulting in malfunc-
tion.
●When closing the back door, take extra care
to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
●When closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the back
door handle is used to fully close the back

Operation of each component
■Alarms and warning messages
An alarm sounds and warning message displays shown on the multi-information display
are used to protect against unexpected accidents or theft of the vehicle resulting from
erroneous operation. When a warning message is displayed, take appropriate measures
based on the displayed message. (→ P. 5 3 4 )
When only an alarm sounds, circumstances and correction procedures are as follows.
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic key bat-
tery 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 access system with push-button start may take
some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside
of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 5 days or longer.
●If the smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 14 days or
longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case,
take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or the mechan-
ical key, to unlock the doors.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button start, wireless remote control and immobilizer
system use weak radio waves. In the following situations, the communication between the
electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart access system with
push-button start, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating prop-
erly. (Ways of coping: →P. 5 5 9 )
●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

■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 near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear bumper center when the back door is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door
pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes are
changed.
●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 conditions, it may be
detected by the antenna outside the cabin an d the door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within th e effective range, the doors may be locked or
unlocked by anyone.
●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.
●The doors may unlock 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 door
will automatically be locked after approximately 60 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 func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock opera-
tion. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be
shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more
separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that
the key is not stolen.)
