Q
Card key (if equipped)
O
The card key is not waterproof.
O
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 the battery cover is not installed and the
battery falls out or if the battery was
removed because the key got wet, rein-
stall the battery with the positive terminal
facing the Lexus emblem.
Q
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
accidentally. Pressing a button may cause
the electronic key to emit radio waves that
could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
Q
Electronic key battery depletion
O
The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
(The card key battery life is from one year
to one year and a half.)
O
Electronic keys that will not be used for
long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance. (
P.121)
O
If the battery becomes low, an alarm will
sound in the cabin when the engine is
stopped.
O
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. (
P.369)
• The smart entry & start system or the
wireless remote control does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.

If this message is displayed but you have not
had a new electronic key registered, ask
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
to check if an unknown electronic key
(other than those in your possession) has
been registered.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Q
Before driving
O

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.
