WARNING
■Caution regarding interference with
electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should keep
away from the smart access system
with push-button start antennas.
(  P.120)
The radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices. If necessary, the
entry function can be disabled. Ask
your Lexus dealer for details, such as
the frequency of radio waves and tim-
ing of the emitted radio waves. Then,
consult your doctor to see if you
should disable the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical device
other than implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should con-
sult the manufacturer of the device for
information about its operation under
the influence of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such medi-
cal devices.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details on dis-
abling the entry function.

2 Turn the power switch to ON
mode.
3 Recall the driving position that you
want to record.
4 While pressing the recalled button,
press and hold the door lock switch
(either lock or unlock) until the
buzzer sounds.
If the driving position could not be regis-
tered, the buzzer sounds continuously for
approximately 3 seconds.
■Cancelation procedure
1 Carry only the key you want to can-
cel and then close the driver’s door.

celed properly.
2 Turn the power switch to ON
mode.
3 While pressing the “SET” button,
press and hold the door lock switch
(either lock or unlock) until the
buzzer sounds twice.
If it could not be canceled, the buzzer

locked before recalling the driving
position. Carry the electronic key
that has been registered to the driv-
ing position, and then unlock and
open the driver’s door using the
smart access system with push-but-
ton start or wireless remote control.
The driving position will move to the
recorded position (not including the steer-
ing wheel). However, th e seat will move to
a position slightly behind the recorded
position in order to make entering the vehi-
cle easier.
If the driving position is in a position that
has already been recorded, the seat and
outside rear view mirrors will not move.
2 Turn the power switch to ACCES-
SORY mode or ON mode, or fas-
ten a seat belt.
The seat and steering wheel will move to
the recorded position.
■Recalling the driving position using the
memory recall function

tered for each electronic key. Therefore,
the driving position that is recalled may
be different depending on the key being
carried.
●If a door other than the driver’s door is
unlocked with the smart access system
with push-button start, the driving posi-
tion cannot be recalled. In this case, press
the driving position button which has
been set.
■Customization
The unlock door sett ings of the memory
recall function can be customized. (Cus-

Before driving
give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, move the mirror
select switch to the neutral position
(between “L” or “R”)
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror
angle to a desired position to set the mirror
angle used when the vehicle is reversing.
The adjusted angle will be memorized and
the mirror will automatically tilt to the mem-
orized angle whenever the shift lever is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position of
the mirror is linked to the normal position
(angle adjusted with th e shift lever in other
than R). Therefore, if the normal position is
changed after adjustment, the tilt position
will also change.
When the normal position is changed, read-
just the angle in reversing.
When used in cold weather, the door mirror
could be frozen and may not automatically
point the mirror surface downward. In this
event, remove any ice and snow from the
mirror surface.
1 Folds the mirrors
2 Extends the mirrors
Putting the outside rear view mirror folding
switch in the neutral position sets the mir-
rors to automatic mode. Automatic mode
allows the folding or extending of the mir-
rors to be linked to locking/unlocking of
the doors.
■When using in cold weather
When automatic mode is used in cold
weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not
be possible. In this event, after removing any
ice and snow from the door mirror, operate
the mirror using manual mode or move it by
hand.
■Customization
The automatic mirror folding and extending
operation can be changed. (Customizable
features: P.421)
