3-1.Key information

The following keys are provided with 
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with 

push-button start (

P.102)

• Operating the wireless remote control 

function

Mechanical keys

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.

Battery-saving mode can reduce the 

power consumption of electronic keys 

that are not used for long periods of time. 

(

P.103)

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.339)

• 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.339). 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 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

P.339

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 10 days 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

To stop the alarm, press any button on the 

electronic key.

NOTICE

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.

Do not place the keys near medical 

electrical equipment such as low-fre-

quency therapy equipment or micro-

wave therapy equipment, and do not 

receive medical attention with the keys 

on your person.

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 

cm) of the electronic key may interfere 

with the key, causing the key to not func-

tion properly.

such as whether the vehicle is on an 

incline, whether there is enough space 

for a door to open and whether a strong 

wind is blowing. When opening or clos-

ing the door, hold the door handle tightly 

to prepare for any unpredictable move-

ment.

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the 
trunk opener switch, entry function 
or wireless remote control.
If the vehicle is equipped with a 
power trunk lid, the trunk can be 
closed using the trunk closer.

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.

Vehicles without power trunk lid: 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.

96

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

WARNING

Vehicles without power trunk lid: 

When closing the trunk lid, make sure 

to press it lightly on its outer surface. If 

the trunk grip 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.

Trunk easy closer (vehicles with 

power trunk lid)

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 lid (if equipped)

Observe the following precautions when 

operating the power trunk lid.

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 lid 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 lid may not oper-

ate, causing itself to malfunction, or the 

trunk lid may suddenly shut again after 

it is opened.

Hands Free Power Trunk Lid (vehicles 

with power trunk lid)

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes 

to become quite hot. When operating 

the Hands Free Power Trunk 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.

object that is caught. Be careful not to 

catch fingers or anything else.

NOTICE

To prevent trunk easy closer malfunc-

tions (vehicles with power trunk lid)

Do not apply force to the trunk lid while 

the trunk easy closer is operating.

To prevent damage to the power 

trunk lid (vehicles with power trunk 

lid)

Make sure that there is no luggage or 

snow on the trunk lid before operating 

the power trunk lid. In addition, make 

sure that there is no ice between the 

trunk lid and frame that prevents 

movement of the trunk lid. Operating 

the power trunk lid when excessive 

load is present on the trunk lid may 

cause a malfunction.
