WARNING
■Before using the head-up display
Check that the position and brightness of
the head-up display image does not
interfere with safe driving. Incorrect
adjustment of the image’s position or
brightness may obstruct the driver’s view
and lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.

head-up display
As the engine needs to be running while
changing the settings of the head-up dis-
play, ensure that the vehicle is parked in a
place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust
gases including harmful carbon monox-
ide (CO) may collect and enter the vehi-
cle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

■Card key (if equipped)
●The mechanical key that is stored inside
the card key should be used only if a
problem arises, such as when the card
key does not operate properly.
●If the battery cover is not installed and the
battery falls out or if the battery was
removed because the key got wet, rein-
stall the battery with the positive terminal
facing the Lexus emblem.
●The card key is not waterproof.
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic 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 emit 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.
(The card key battery life is about a year
and a half.)
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will
sound in the cabin when the engine stops.
●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.
• 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 dete rioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m)
