LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Using the mechanical key
Take out the mechanical key. The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the key
only has grooves on one side. If the
key cannot be inserted in a lock
cylinder, turn it over and re-
attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the electronic key. If the electronic
key battery is depleted or the smart
access system with push-button
start does not operate properly,
you will need the mechanical key.

Precautions for handling the card keys ●
Do not apply excess force when inserting the mechanical key to the card key.
Doing so may damage the card key. ●

If the key is dropped into water, or if drinking water etc. is spilled on the key,
immediately remove the battery cover and wipe the battery and terminals.
(To remove the battery cover, lightly grasp it and pull.) If the battery is corroded,
have your Lexus dealer replace the battery. ●
Do not crush the battery cover or use a screwdriver to remove the battery cover.
Forcibly removing the battery co ver may bend or damage the key.●

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)●

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 ●

Battery-saving function
In the following circumstances, the entry func tion is disabled in order to prevent the
vehicle and electronic key batteries from discharging. ●
When the entry function has not been used for 2 weeks or more ●
When the electronic key has been left within approxim ately 3 ft. (1 m) of the
vehicle for 10 minutes or more

The vehicle is locked using th e door handle lock switch.●
The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control function
(  P. 49) or the mechanical key. (  P. 872)■
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. 44)●
The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because
the key always receives radio waves. If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start or the wireless remote control fu nction does not operate, or the detec-
tion area becomes smaller, the battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (  P. 784)●
