IS300h_EE(OM53D56E)The installation of an
RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect electronic sys-
tems such as:
●Hybrid system
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Dynamic radar cruise control system
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●Vehicle dynamics integrated management
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding
installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and
installation provisions for the in stallation of RF-transmitters, is available on request at any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybr id vehicles emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the radio frequency transmitter (RF-trans-
mitter).

IS300h_EE(OM53D56E)
■Note for the entry function (if equipped)
●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 theground, 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 trunk is opened.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of th e 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 and the doors 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 electronic key can be used
to unlock the vehicle.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a large amou nt 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 doors will automatically be locked af ter approximately 30 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 d oor may not be unlocked by the entry func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or
unlock operation.
●If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart entry & start sys- tem. ( →P. 1 5 0 )
●If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car
wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer will
sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc.
Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the
lower part of the door handle.
●A sudden handle operation or a handle operation immediately after entering the effec-
tive range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch the door unlock sensor
and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.
●Unlocking the vehicle may take more time if another electronic key is within the effec-
tive range.

CAUTION
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-
pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable
distance between themselves and the smart entry & start system antennas.
( → P. 1 4 9 )
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry
function can be disabled. Ask any authoriz ed Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional fo r 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.
●Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its opera-
tion under the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical
devices.
Ask any authorized Lexus dealer or repair er, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional for details on disabling the entry function.

Lexus Display Audio system
IS300h_EE(OM53D56E)
■Manual tuning (manual screen)
Turn the right side knob (left-hand drive vehicle) or left side knob (right-hand
drive vehicle) on the audio panel or turn the controller.
■Station list (preset or station list screen)
Select the desired station by pressing “<” or “ >”, turn the right side knob (left-
hand drive vehicle) or left side knob (right-hand drive vehicle) on the audio
panel or controller.
Radio stations can be preset. Search for desired stations.
Turn the controller to select one of the preset stations and then press the con-
troller until you hear a beep while on the preset selection screen.
The broadcast you are currently listening to can be re-listened to at any time. Move the controller to the right and then select “Time shift”.
Turn the right side knob (left-hand drive vehicle) or left side knob (right-hand
drive vehicle) on the audio panel to set the desired offset.
An offset playback time can also be set on the menu screen. ( →P. 3 4 9 )
To cancel the time shift operation while in time shift mode, move the controller to the
left and select “Time shift off” . If the time shift display is left showing “-0' 00”” for 6
seconds without any operation, the time shift operation will be canceled.
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all time s is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
■Traffic announcement operation
When traffic announcement is set to on, “TP” will appear on the screen and the radio will
begin seeking a TP station. If the radio s eeks out a TP station, the program name will
appear on the screen. If a traffic announcement station is received, the radio will be
switched to the traffic information program automatically. When the program ends, the
initial operation will resume.

CAUTION
■While driving
Do not operate the portable audio player, cellular phone or connect a device to the
Bluetooth
® system.
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth® antennas. People with implantable cardiac
pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardio-
verter defibrillators should maintain a re asonable distance between themselves and
the Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices.
●Before using Bluetooth® devices, users of any electrical medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device
for information about its operation under th e influence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
■When leaving the vehicle
Do not leave your portable audio player or cellular phone in the vehicle. The inside of
the vehicle may become hot, causing damage to the portable audio player or cellular
phone.
