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.318)
• 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.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not 
leave the electronic ke y within 3 ft. (1 m) 
of the following electr ical 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.318
■Confirmation of the registered key 
number
The number of keys already registered to 
the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 
Lexus dealer for details.
■If “A New Key has been Registered 
Contact Your Dealer for Details” is 
shown on the multi-information display
This message will be displayed each time 
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 
possession) has been registered.
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 disassemble 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-
wave therapy equipment, and do not 
receive medical attent ion 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.
■In case of a smart access system with 
push-button start malfunction or 
other key-rela ted problems

Before driving
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving fu nction will be acti-
vated in order to prevent the electronic key 
battery and the 12-volt battery from being 
discharged while the vehicle is not in opera-
tion for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart 
access system with pu sh-button start may 
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left within 
approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of 
the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 5 days or 
longer.
●If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been  used for 14 days or 
longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at 
the passenger door. In this case, push the 
depression on the front edge the driver’s 
door handle, or use the wireless remote 
control or mechanical key, to unlock the 
doors.
■Turning an electronic key to battery-
saving mode
When battery-saving mode is set, battery 
depletion is minimized by stopping the elec-
tronic key from re ceiving radio waves.
Press   twice while pressing and 
holding  . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the 
smart access system with push-button start 
cannot be used. To cancel the function, 
press any of the electronic key buttons.
■Conditions affe cting operation
The smart access system with push-button 
start uses weak radio waves. In the following 
situations, the communication between the 
electronic key and the vehicle may be  affected, preventing 
the smart access sys-
tem with push-button start, wireless remote 
control and engine immobilizer system 
erly. 
(Ways of coping:  P.355)
●When the electronic key battery is 
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, 
gas station, radio stat ion, large display, 
airport or other fac ility that generates 
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular 
phone, cordless phone or other wireless 
communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact 
with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic 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

assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with  a metallic content or 
metallic objects are attached to the rear 
window
●When the electronic key is placed near a 
battery charger or electronic devices
■Note for the entry function

effective range (detection areas), the sys-
tem may not operate properly in the fol-
lowing cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the win-
dow or outside door handle, near the 
ground, or in a high place when the doors 
are locked or unlocked.
