Operation of each component
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6 ft.) of the
vehicle.
■Alarm
Using the smart entry & start system to lock the doors will set the alarm system.
( P. 112)
■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 condition of the electronic key, the key may
not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm
may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may not operate.)
●Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire, the inside edge of the trunk), conditions (inside
a metal bag, close to metallic objects) and the radio waves in the surrounding area.
( P. 193)
■If the smart entry & start system does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors and trunk: Use the mechanical key. (P. 631)
●Starting the engine: P. 634

■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 is low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine is started or
stopped. ( P. 158)
●The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because the
key always receives radio waves. If the smart entry & start system or the wireless
remote control does not operate, or the detection area becomes smaller, the bat-
tery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 575)
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.) of
the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■When the electronic key battery is fully depleted
 P. 575

Settings (e. g. smart entry & start system) can be changed.
