LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
■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.

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 oper-
ate.)

The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire [if equipped], the inside edge of the trunk), con-
ditions (inside a metal bag, close to metallic objects) and the radio waves in the
surrounding area. ( P. 182)
