2021 LEXUS ES350 key

1083-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the follow-
ing 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
from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P.387)
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other faci lity that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●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
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication
device
• Another electronic ke y 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
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-
ing spot where radio waves are emitted.
■Notes 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 center
of the rear bumper 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 electronic 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 sensor while
wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and
touch the lock sensor again.

1093-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
3
Before driving
●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.
●Unlocking the vehicle may take more
time if another electronic key is within the
effective range.
●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.107)
●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 all the 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.
●A sudden approach to the effective
range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case,
return the door handle to the original
position and check that the doors unlock
before pulling the door handle again.
■When the vehicle is not driven for
extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m)
of the vehicle.
●The smart access syst em with push-but-
ton start can be deactivated in advance.
●Battery-saving mode can reduce the
power consumption of electronic keys.
(  P.107)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic key
when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle
when operating the system from the out-
side of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding
condition of the elec tronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the
system may not operate properly. (The
alarm may go off accidentally, or the door
lock prevention function may not oper-
ate.)
●Do not leave the electr onic key inside the
trunk.
The key confinement prevention function
may not operate, depending on the loca-
tion of the key (close to a spare tire, the
inside edge of the trunk), conditions
(inside a metal bag, close to metallic
objects) and the radio waves in the sur-
rounding area. ( P.103)
■If an electronic key does not work prop-
erly
●If the doors cannot be locked or
unlocked and the trunk cannot be
opened, perform the following.
• Bring the electronic key close to the door
handle and perform a lock or unlock
operation.
• Bring the electronic key close to the but-
ton on the trunk ( P.101) and press the
button.
• Use the wireless remote control.
If the doors cannot be locked or unlocked
by perform the above, use the mechanical
key. ( P.387)

key is used while the al arm system is set, the
warning will sound. ( P.63)
●If the engine cannot be started, refer to
P.388
■Customization
Settings (e. g. smart access system with
push-button start) can be changed.
