■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an elec tronic key onto an 
aircraft, make sure you do not press any 
buttons on the electronic key while inside 
the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an 
electronic key in your  bag etc., ensure that 
the buttons are not likely to be pressed acci-
dentally. Pressing a button may cause the 
electronic key to em it radio waves that 
could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will 
sound in the cabin when the hybrid sys-
tem is stopped.
●Battery-saving mode can reduce the 
power consumption of electronic keys 
that are not used for long periods of time. 
(  P.103)
●As the electronic key always receives 
radio waves, the battery will become 
depleted even if the electronic key is not 
used. The following symptoms indicate 
that the electronic key battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. ( P.339)
• The smart access system with push-but- ton 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.
You can replace the battery by yourself 
(  P.339). However, as there is a danger 
that the electronic key may be damaged, it 
is recommended that replacement be car-
ried out by your Lexus dealer.
●To avoid serious dete rioration, 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
■Replacing the battery
 P.339
■Confirmation of the registered key 
number
The number of keys already registered to 
the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 
Lexus dealer for details.

the driver’s door is opened when the doors 
are unlocked from the outside for approxi-
mately 10 days after a new electronic key 
has been registered.
If this message is disp layed but you have not 
had a new electronic key registered, ask 
your Lexus dealer to check if an unknown 
electronic key (other than those in your

NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not drop the keys, subject them to 
strong shocks or bend them.
●Do not expose the keys to high tem-
peratures for long periods of time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash them 
in an ultrasonic washer etc.
●Do not attach metallic or magnetic 
materials to the keys or place the keys 
close to such materials.
●Do not disassemb
le the keys.
●Do not attach a sticker or anything else 
to the surface of the electronic key.
●Do not place the keys near objects that 
produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, 
audio systems and induction cookers.
●Do not place the keys near medical 
electrical equipment such as low-fre-
quency therapy equipment or micro-

receive medical attention with the keys 
on your person.
■Carrying the electronic key on your 
person
Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) 
or more away from electric appliances 
that are turned on. Radio waves emitted 
from electric applianc es within 3.9 in. (10 
cm) of the electronic key may interfere 
with the key, causing  the key to not func-
tion properly.
