Q
Card key (if equipped)
O
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.
O
If it is difficult to take out the mechanical
key, push down the release button using a

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

(
P.421). However, as there is a danger
that the electronic key may be damaged, it
is recommended that the replacement be
carried out by any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
O
To avoid serious deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.)

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Q
Before driving
O
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.
O
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.
O
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.
Q
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.
Q
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the
body to be caught, resulting in serious
injury.
O
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.
O
When opening or closing the trunk lid,
thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
O
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure
they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
O
Use caution when opening or closing
the trunk lid in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
O
On an incline it is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid 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.
O
When opening the trunk lid, take care
so that it does not hit anyone in the
face or any other part of the body.

Q
Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses weak
radio waves. In the following situations, the
communication between the electronic key
and the vehicle may be affected, preventing
the smart entry & start system, wireless
remote control and engine immobilizer sys-
tem <immobilizer system> from operating
properly. (Ways of coping:

Q
Note for the entry function
O
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 <hybrid system> is started or
engine switch <power switch> modes are
changed.
O
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.
O
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.
O
Even if the electronic key is not inside the
vehicle, it may be possible to start the
engine <hybrid system> if the electronic
key is near the window.
O
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
30 seconds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
O
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.)
O
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 2 m
(6 ft.) 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 entry & start
system. (
P.139)
O
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.
O
If an outside door handle is not retracted
during a car wash, a door may be opened
or an outside door handle may be dam-
aged. Make sure that the outside door
handles are retracted before using the
car wash.
O
A sudden handle operation or a handle
operation immediately after entering the
effective range may prevent the doors
from being unlocked. Touch the door
unlock sensor and check that the doors
are unlocked before pulling the door
handle again.
O
Unlocking the vehicle may take more
time if another electronic key is within the
effective range.
Q
When the vehicle is not driven for
extended periods
O
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6 ft.)
of the vehicle.
O
The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance.
Q
To operate the system properly
O
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-
