1 Remove the cover inside the lug-
gage compartment by inserting a
screwdriver.
When removing the cover, to pre-
vent damage, cover the tip of the
screwdriver with a rag.
2 After removing the cover, pull the
lever to unlock the fuel filler door
and it will be ready to open as usual.
■Things to check before taking measures
●Make sure that the smart access system
with push-button start has not been deac-
tivated in the customizat ion setting. If it is
off, turn the function on.
●Check if battery-saving mo de is set. If it is
set, cancel the function. ( P.121)
Use the mechanical key ( P.102) to
perform the following operations.
If the fuel filler door cannot
be opened
If the fuel filler door opener switch
cannot be operated, the following
procedure can be used to open the
fuel filler door.
Opening the fuel filler door
If the electronic key does not
operate properly
If communication between the
electronic key and vehicle is inter-
rupted ( P.121) or the electronic
key cannot be used because the
battery is depleted, the smart
access system with push-button
start and wireless remote control
cannot be used. In such cases, the
doors can be opened and the hybrid
system can be started by following
the procedure below.
NOTICE
■In case of a smart access system with
push-button start malfunction or

■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the hybrid system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery
will discharge gradua lly even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural dis-
charge and the draining effects of certain
electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for
a long time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the hybrid
system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or
discharged
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
12-volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote control or the mechani-
cal key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The hybrid system may not start on the
first attempt after the 12-volt battery has
recharged but will start normally after the
second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery, turn the power switch
off.
If you are unsure what mode the power
switch was in before the 12-volt battery
discharged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
●Some systems may require initialization.
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(60Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (460A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can-
not be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the 12-volt battery
may discharge and hybrid system may
not be able to start.
●After exchanging, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before
exchanging and confirm that it is firmly
connected to the hole section of the vehi-
cle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included
with the 12-volt battery exchanged or the
one installed on the battery prior to the
exchange. (Depending on the 12-volt
battery to be exchanged, the exhaust
hole may be plugged.)
For details, consult your Lexus dealer.
