WARNING

Before using the head-up display

Check that the position and brightness 

of the head-up display image does not 

interfere with safe driving. Incorrect 

adjustment of the image’s position or 

brightness may obstruct the driver’s 

view and lead to an accident, resulting 

in death or serious injury.

Do not continuously look at the head-

up display while driving as you may fail 

to see pedestrians, objects on the 

road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.

Caution for changing settings of the 

head-up display

As the engine needs to be running 

<hybrid system needs to be operating> 

while changing the settings of the head-

up display, ensure that the vehicle is 

parked in a place with adequate ventila-

tion. In a closed area such as a garage, 

exhaust gases including harmful carbon 

monoxide (CO) may collect and enter 

the vehicle. This may lead to death or a 

serious health hazard.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to components

Do not place any drinks near the head-

up display projector. If the projector 

gets wet, electrical malfunctions may 

result.

Do not place anything on or put stick-

ers onto the head-up display projector. 

Doing so could interrupt head-up dis-

play indications.

3-1.Key information

The following keys are provided with 
the vehicle.

Electronic keys

• Operating the smart access system with 

push-button start (

P.113)

• Operating the wireless remote control 

function

Mechanical keys

Key number plate

Card key (electronic key) (if 
equipped)

Operating the smart entry & start system 
(

P.113)

Card key (if equipped)

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.

If it is difficult to take out the mechanical 

key, push down the release button using a 

pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to pull it out, 

use a coin etc. (

P.104)

To store the mechanical key in the card 

key, insert it while pressing the release 

button.

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.

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. 

(The card key battery life is about a year 

and a half.)

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will 

sound in the cabin when the engine 

<hybrid system> is stopped.

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.318)

• 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 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 

possession) has been registered.

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.

In case of a smart access system with 

push-button start malfunction or 

other key-related problems

wet, the battery may corrode and the 

card key may stop working.

If the key is dropped into water, or if 

drinking water, etc. is spilled on the key, 

immediately remove the battery cover 

and wipe the battery and terminals. (To 

remove the battery cover, lightly grasp 

and pull it.) If the battery is corroded, 

have your Lexus dealer replace the 

battery.

Do not crush the battery cover or use 

a screwdriver to remove the battery 

cover.

Forcibly removing the battery cover 

may bend or damage the key.

If the battery cover is frequently 

removed, the battery cover may 

become loose.

When installing the battery, make sure 

to check the direction of the battery.

Installing the battery in the wrong 

direction may cause the battery to 

deplete rapidly.

The surface of the card key may be 

damaged, or its coating may peel off in 

the following situations:

• The card key is carried together with 

hard objects, such as coins and keys.

• The card key is scraped with a sharp 

object, such as the tip of a mechanical 

pencil.

• The surface of the card key is wiped
