WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■
Before driving
●
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
closed. If the trunk lid is not fully
closed, it may open unexpectedly
while driving and hit near-by objects or
luggage in the trunk may be thrown
out, causing an accident.
●
Do not allow children to play in the
trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked in the
trunk, they could suffer from heat
exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-
ries.
●
Do not allow a child to open or close
the trunk lid.
Doing so may cause the trunk lid to
open unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be
caught by the closing trunk lid.
■
Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the
event of sudden braking or a collision,
they are susceptible to death or serious
injury.
■
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the
body to be caught, resulting in serious
injury.
●
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow
and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause
the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
●
When opening or closing the trunk lid,
thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
●
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
●
Use caution when opening or closing
the trunk lid in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
●
The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the trunk lid is fully open and
secure before using the trunk.
●
When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
●
When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the trunk handle is used to fully close
the trunk lid, it may result in hands or
arms being caught.

●
Do not attach any accessories other
than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk
lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut
again after it is opened.
■

In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly
open, the trunk easy closer will automati-
cally close it to the fully closed position. It
takes several seconds before the trunk
easy closer begins to operate. Be careful
not to catch fingers or anything else in
the trunk lid, as this may cause bone frac-
tures or other serious injuries.
■
Power trunk opener and closer
Observe the following precautions when
operating the power trunk opener and
closer.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●
Check the safety of the surrounding
area to make sure there are no obsta-
cles or anything that could cause any
of your belongings to get caught.
●
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
●
If the trunk closer switch is pressed
while the trunk lid is opening during
automatic operation, the trunk lid
stops opening. Take extra care when
on an incline, as the trunk lid may open
or close suddenly.
●
On an incline, the trunk lid may sud-
denly shut after it opens automatically.
Make sure the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
●
In the following situations, the power
trunk opener and closer may detect an
abnormality and automatic operation
may be stopped. In this case, the trunk
lid has to be operated manually. Take
extra care in this situation, as the
stopped trunk lid may suddenly shut,
causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obsta-
cle
• When the 12-volt battery voltage sud-
denly drops, such as when the power
switch is turned to ON mode or the
hybrid system is started during auto-
matic operation
●
Do not attach any accessories other
than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk
lid. The power trunk opener and closer
may not operate, causing itself to mal-
function, or the trunk lid may suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
■
Hands Free Power Trunk Lid (if
equipped)

Lid, be careful not to touch the exhaust
pipe.
●
Do not operate the Hands Free Power
Trunk Lid if there is little space under
the rear bumper.
■

Turning an electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode
When battery-saving mode is set, battery
depletion is minimized by stopping the elec-
tronic key from receiving radio waves.
Press
twice while pressing and holding
. Confirm that the electronic key indica-
tor flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart access system with push-button start
cannot be used. To cancel the function,
press any of the electronic key buttons.
■
Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the following
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 immobilizer system from oper-
ating properly. (Ways of coping:
●
When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●
Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●
When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
●
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
• 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
●
When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-
ing spot where radio waves are emitted.
■
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 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
hybrid system is started or power 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 possible to start the
hybrid system 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.
●
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. (
●
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.
●
If there is another electronic key in the
detection area, it may take slightly longer
to unlock the doors after the door handle
is gripped.
■
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 system with push-but-
ton start can be deactivated in advance.
●
Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode helps to reduce key battery
depletion. (
■
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 electronic 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 pre-
vention function may not operate.)
●
Do not leave the electronic key inside the
trunk.
