■The multi-information display at low 
temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display 
monitor may respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the 
driver’s shifting and the new gear number 
appearing on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift again, 
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in 
death or injury.

Before driving
●As the electronic ke y 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.
• 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 key 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.265
■Confirmation of the registered key 
number
The number of keys already registered to 
the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your 
Lexus dealer for details.
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.
■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-related problems

■When an electronic key is lost
 P.303
■Handling the card key (if equipped)
●Do not apply excess force when insert-
ing the mechanical key into the card 
key. Doing so may damage the card 
key.
●If the battery or card key terminals get 
wet, the battery may corrode. If the key 
is dropped into wate r, or if drinking 
water etc. is spilled on the key, immedi-
ately remove the battery cover and 
wipe the battery and terminals. (To 
remove the battery cover, lightly grasp 
and pull it.) If the battery is corroded, 
have your Lexus dealer replace the 
battery.
●Do not crush the battery cover or use 
a screwdriver to remove the battery 
cover. Forcibly removing the battery 
cover may bend or damage the key.
●If the battery cover is frequently 
removed, the battery cover may 
become loose.

Before driving
• 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 ke ys (that emit radio 
waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key 
together with the following devices that 
emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a  wireless key that  emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital  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
●Even when the electronic key is within the 
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.
• The electronic key is near the ground or 
in a high place, or too close to the rear 
bumper center when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument 
panel, rear package tray or floor, or in the 
door pockets or glove box when the 
engine is started or engine switch modes 
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of 
the instrument panel  or near the door 
pockets when exiting the vehicle. 
Depending on the radio wave reception 
conditions, it may be  detected by the 
antenna outside the cabin and the doors 
will become lockable from the outside, 
possibly trapping the electronic key 
inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electron ic key is within the 
effective range, the doors may be locked 
or unlocked by anyone. However, only  the doors detecting the electronic key 
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic 
key is not inside the 
vehicle, it may be po ssible to start the 
engine if the electronic key is near the 
window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a large 
amount of water splashes on the door 
handle, such as in the rain or in a car 
wash, when the electronic key is within 
the effective range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after approximately 
60 seconds if the doors are not opened 
and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used to 
lock the doors when the electronic key is 
near the vehicle, there is a possibility that 
the door may not be unlocked by the 
entry function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sensor 
while wearing gloves may prevent lock or 
unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed 
using the lock sensor, recognition signals 
will be shown up to two consecutive 
times. After this, no recognition signals 
will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while the 
electronic key is within the effective 
range, the door may lock and unlock 
repeatedly. In this case, follow the follow-
ing correction procedures to wash the 
vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft.  (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. 
(Take care to ensure that the key is not 
stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving 
mode to disable the smart access system 
with push-button start. ( P.94)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 
and a door handle becomes wet during a 
car wash, a message may be shown on 
the multi-information display and a 
buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To 
turn off the alarm, lock both side doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if 
it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, 
etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to 
operate it again.
