Maintenance and care
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart access system with push-button start may not
be possible immediately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use
the wireless remote control or the me chanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the “START STOP ENGINE” switch in ACCESSORY mode.
The engine may not start with the “START STOP ENGINE” switch turned off. How-
ever, the engine will operate normally from the second attempt.
●The “START STOP ENGINE” switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt
battery is reconnected, the vehicle will return the “START STOP ENGINE” switch
mode to the status it was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure
to turn off the engine before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when
connecting the 12-volt battery if the “START STOP ENGINE” switch mode prior to
discharge is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after mu ltiple attempts, contact your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
■Chemicals in the 12-volt battery

gen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk of death or serious
