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.
●
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will
sound in the cabin when the hybrid sys-
tem is stopped.
●
To reduce key battery depletion when the
electronic key is to not be used for long
periods of time, set the electronic key to
the battery-saving mode. (
●
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 deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m)
of the following electrical 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
■
Confirmation of the registered key
number
The number of keys already registered to
the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your
Lexus dealer for details.
■
If “A New Key has been Registered
Contact Your Dealer for Details” is
shown on the multi-information display
This message will be displayed each time
the driver’s door is opened when the doors
are unlocked from the outside for approxi-
mately one week after a new electronic key
has been registered.
If this message is displayed 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 been registered.

To prevent key damage
●
Do not drop the keys, subject them to
strong shocks or bend them.
●
Do not expose the keys to high tem-
peratures for long periods of time.
●
Do not get the keys wet or wash them
in an ultrasonic washer, etc.

Do not attach metallic or magnetic
materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.
●
Do not disassemble the keys.
●
Do not attach a sticker or anything else
to the surface of the electronic key.
●
Do not place the keys near objects that
produce magnetic fields, such as TVs,
audio systems and induction cookers,
or medical electrical equipment, such
as low-frequency therapy equipment.
■
Carrying the electronic key on your
person
Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm)
or more away from electric appliances
that are turned on. Radio waves emitted
from electric appliances within 3.9 in. (10

tion properly.

Power back door
The power back door can be
opened using the power back door
opener switch, smart access system
with push-button start or wireless
remote control.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■
Before driving the vehicle
Before driving the vehicle, make sure
that the power back door is fully closed. If
the power back door is not fully closed, it
may open unexpectedly while driving,
causing an accident.
■
Caution while driving
●
Keep the power back door closed
while driving.
If the power back door is left open, it may
hit nearby objects while driving or lug-
gage may be unexpectedly thrown out,
causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the
vehicle, causing death or a serious health
hazard. Make sure to close the power
back door before driving.
●
Never let anyone sit in the luggage
compartment. In the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or a colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or
serious injury.
■
When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●
Do not allow children to play in the lug-
gage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the lug-
gage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
●
Do not allow a child to open or close
the power back door.
Doing so may cause the power back
door to move unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, arms, head, or neck to be
caught by the closing power back door.
■
Operating the power back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the
body to be caught, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow
and ice, from the power back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may
cause the power back door to sud-
denly shut again after it is opened.
●
When opening or closing the power
back door, 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 power back door is about to open
or close.
●
Use caution when opening or closing
the power back door in windy weather
as it may move abruptly in strong wind.
●
The power back door may suddenly
shut if it is not opened fully. It is more
difficult to open or close the back door
on an incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the back door unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage com-
partment.
