961-3. Theft deterrent system
IS300h_EE(OM53D89E)
■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the power switch or unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-enable
the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will au tomatically be re-enabled when the alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alar m in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject to
repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported on a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed • When the vehicle is in an auto matic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the follow- ing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such as
leaves and insects inside the vehicle • Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices
such as the intrusion sensors of other vehi-
cles • The movement of peop le outside the vehi-
cle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accessories
or clothes hanging on the coat hooks, are in the vehicle.

For safety and security
IS300h_EE(OM53D89E)
■Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alar m in the following situations:
●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
●The vehicle is jacked up.
●An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection performance.
●To ensure that the sensors operate properly,
do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air fresheners or other products
directly into the sensor holes.

The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient li ght and may cause the automatic headlight syst em to malfunction.
