GS350_300_GS F_OM_OM30G34U_(U)3-1. Key information
■Panic mode
■When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk opener main switch off, lock the glove box and armrest door as circum-
stances demand. (
→P. 145, 331, 343)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the elec-
tronic key only.
■If you lose your mechanical keys
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Lexus dealer using the other
mechanical key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the plate
in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-
tons on the electronic key while inside the airc raft cabin. If you are carrying an electronic
key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally.
Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere
with the operation of the aircraft.
■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. 470)
●As the electronic key always receives ra dio waves, the battery will become depleted
even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indicate that the elec-
tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( →P. 410)
• The smart access system with push-button start or the wireless remote control does
not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m) 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 is pressed for longer than about
one second, an alarm will sound intermittently
and the vehicle lights will flash to deter any per-
son from trying to break into or damage your
vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the elec-
tronic key.

WARNING
■Trunk easy closer
■Power trunk opener and closer (If equipped)
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk opener and closer.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-
thing that could cause any of yo ur belongings to get caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is
about to open or close.
●If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during automatic
operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on an incline, as the trunk
lid may open or close suddenly.
●On an incline, the trunk lid may suddenly sh ut after it opens automatically. Make sure
the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
●In the following situations, the power trun k opener and closer may detect an abnor-
mality and automatic operation may be stoppe d. In this case, the trunk lid has to be
operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped trunk lid may sud-
denly shut, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic opera-
tion
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The
power trunk opener and closer may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the
trunk lid may suddenly shut again after it is opened.
■Jam protection function (vehicles with power trunk opener and closer)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function.
●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
trunk lid fully closes. Be careful not to catc h fingers or anything else in the trunk lid.
●The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that
is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly open,
the trunk easy closer will automatically close it
to the fully closed position. It takes several sec-
onds before the trunk easy closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else in the trunk lid, as this may cause
bone fractures or other serious injuries.
