General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when un der the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time, im pair judgment and reduce coordination,
which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers
or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts
the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or
others. ■
General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehi cle, and never allow children to have or
use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the cigarette
lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition,
heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to chil-
dren.

Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button start uses weak radio waves. In the fol-
lowing situations, the commu nication between the electr onic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the smart acce ss system with push -button start, wire-
less remote control and en gine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P. 872)●
When the electronic key battery is depleted ●
Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio st ation, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise●
When carrying a portable ra dio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication devices ●
When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic object
• Card 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 other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby ●
When carrying or using the electronic key together with the following devices
that emit radio waves

To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get the
electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from the outside
of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding cond ition of the electronic key, the key may
not be detected correctly and the system may not oper ate properly. (The alarm
may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not function.) ■
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 locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, floor or in the glove box when
the engine is started or “ENGINE ST ART STOP” 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 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. ●
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the
engine 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. (T he doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not open ed and closed.)●
Gripping the door handle when wear ing a glove may not unlock the door.●
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.) ●
A sudden approach to the effective ra nge or door handle operation may pre-
vent the doors from being unlocked. In th is case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the do ors unlock before pulling the door han-
dle.

from the smart access system antennas. ( P. 39)
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, the entry
function can be disabled. Ask your Lexus de aler for details, such as the frequency
of radio waves and timing of the emitte d 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 pacemak-
ers, cardiac resynchronization therapy- pacemakers or implantable cardioverter
