WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the infl uence: Never drive 
your vehicle when un der the influence of 
alcohol or drugs that  have impaired your 
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol 
and certain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coordina-
tion, which could lead to an accident that 
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving:  Always drive defen-
sively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make and 
be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full 
attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-
trols, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with 
resulting death or serious injury to you, 
your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding chil-
dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the 
vehicle, and never allow children to have 
or use the key.
Children may be able  to start the vehicle 
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is 
also a danger that children may injure 
themselves by playing with the windows 
or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold 
temperatures inside the vehicle can be 
fatal to children.

■Card key (if equipped)
●The card key is not waterproof.
●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 it is difficult to take out the mechanical 
key, push down the release button using a

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

could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.

long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance. (P.119)
●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. ( P.330)
• 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.
You can replace the battery by yourself 
(  P.330). However, as there is a danger 
that the electronic key may be damaged, it 
is recommended that replacement be car-
ried out by your Lexus dealer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not 
leave the electronic ke y 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.330
■Confirmation of the registered key 
number
The number of keys already registered to 
the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your

the driver’s door is opened when the doors 
are unlocked from the outside for approxi-
mately 10 days after a new electronic key 
has been registered.
If this message is disp layed but you have not 
had a new electronic key registered, ask  your Lexus dealer to check if an unknown 
electronic key (other than those in your 
possession) has be
en registered.
NOTICE

receive medical attent ion with the keys 
on your person.
■Carrying the electronic key on your 
person
