ensure that the touchless power back door function operates properly: ●
Operate the touchless sensor while carrying an electronic key within the operational
range. ●
Keep the rear emblem clean at all times.
If the rear emblem is dirty or covered with snow, the touchless sensor may not oper-
ate. In this situation, clean off the dirt or snow, move the vehicle from the current posi-
tion and then check if the touchless sensor operates. If it does not operate, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ●
Do not apply coatings that have a rain clea ring (hydrophilic) effect , or other coatings,
to the rear emblem. ●
Do not park the vehicle near objects that may move and contact the rear emblem,

If the vehicle has been parked for a while near objects that may move and contact the
rear emblem, such as tall grass or trees, the touchless sensor may not operate. In this
situation, move the vehicle from the current position and then check if the touchless
sensor operates. If it does not operate, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer. ●
Do not subject the touchless sensor or it s surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the touchless sensor or its surrounding ar ea has been subjected to a strong impact,
the touchless sensor may not operate properly.

Electronic Key battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping the elec-
tronic key from receiving radio waves.
■
Conditions affe cting operation
The smart access system with push-button star t, wireless remote control and immobilizer
system use weak radio waves. In the followi ng situations, the communication between the
electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart access system with
push-button start, wireless remote control and immobilizer system from operating prop-
erly. (Ways of coping:  P. 5 6 4 )●
When the electronic key battery is depleted ●
Near a TV tower, electric powe r plant, gas station, radio stat ion, large display, airport or
other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise ●
When the electronic key is in contact wi th, or is covered by the following metallic
objects
• Cards 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 other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby ●
When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that emit radio
waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication
devices
• Another vehicle’s electronic key, another el ectronic key of your vehicle, or a wireless
key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or person al digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems ●
If window tint with a metallic content or me tallic objects are attached to the rear win-
dow ●
When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic devicesPress twice while pressing and holding .

Operation of each component
RX450h_U_OM0E013U ■
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 opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument pa nel, luggage compartment, floor, or in the
door pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes
are changed. ●
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 outs ide the cabin and the door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the el ectronic 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 ve hicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid
system if the electronic key is near the window. ●
The doors may unlock if a large amount of wa ter 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 door
will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not
opened and closed.) ●
If the wireless remote control is used to lo ck the doors when the electronic key is near
the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.) ●
Touching the door lock sensor while wearin g gloves may delay or prevent lock opera-
tion. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again. ●
When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be
shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
*●
If the door handle becomes wet while the el ectronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) 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 access system
with push-button start. (  P. 1 6 0 )●
If the electronic key is insi de the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car
wash, a message may be shown on the mult i-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. ●
A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the doors from
being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original position and check
that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.●
If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly longer to
unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
