3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

WARNING

Back door closer

In the event that the back door is left 

slightly open, the back door closer will 

automatically close it to the fully closed 

position. It takes several seconds 

before the back door closer begins to 

operate. Be careful not to catch fingers 

or anything else in the back door, as 

this may cause bone fractures or other 

serious injuries.

Be careful not to catch fingers or any-

thing else when using the back door 

closer as it still operates when the 

power back door system is canceled.

Power back door

Observe the following precautions when 

operating the power back door. 

Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous 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 back door is about to open or 

close.

If the power back door system is dis-

abled, while the back door is operating 

automatically, the automatic operation 

is stopped. The back door then has to 

be operated manually. Take extra care 

in this situation, as the back door may 

open or close suddenly.

If the operating conditions of the 

power back door (

P.107) are no lon-

ger met, a buzzer may sound and the 

back door may stop opening or clos-

ing. The back door then has to be 

operated manually. Take extra care 

when on an incline, as the back door 

may open or close abruptly.

On an incline, the back door may sud-

denly shut after it opens. Make sure 

the back door is fully open and secure.

In the following situations, the power 

back door may detect an abnormality 

and automatic operation may be 

stopped. In this case, the back door 

has to be operated manually. Take 

extra care in this situation, as the back 

door may open or close suddenly.

• When the back door contacts an 

obstacle

• When the battery voltage suddenly 

drops, such as when the engine switch 

is turned to ON or the engine is 

started during automatic operation

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy 

object is attached to the back door, the 

power back door may not operate, 

causing itself to malfunction, or the 

back door may suddenly shut again 

after being opened, causing some-

one’s hands, arms, head or neck to be 

caught and injured. When installing an 

accessory part to the back door, using 

a genuine Lexus part is recommended.

Jam protection function

Observe the following precautions. 

Failure to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

Never use any part of your body to 

intentionally activate the jam protec-

tion function.

The jam protection function may not 

work if something gets caught just 

before the back door fully closes. Be 

careful not to get fingers caught or 

anything else.

knife or other sharp object. If the sen-

sor is disconnected, the power back 

door will not close automatically.

Close & lock function

When closing the power back door using 

the close & lock function, a different 

buzzer than the normal one will sound 

before the operation begins.
To check that the operation has started 

correctly, check that a different buzzer 

than the normal one has sounded.
Additionally, when the power back door 

is fully closed and locked, operation sig-

When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-

ing spot where radio waves are emitted.

Note for the entry function

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 on the instrument 

panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door 

pockets or glove box when the engine is 

started or engine switch modes are 

changed.

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 door 

will become lockable from the outside, 

possibly trapping the electronic key 

inside the vehicle.

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.

Even if the electronic key is not inside the 

vehicle, it may be possible to start the 

engine if the electronic key is near the 

window.

The doors may unlock 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 automatically be 

locked after approximately 60 seconds if 

the doors are not opened and closed.)

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.)

Touching the door lock sensor while 

wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock 

operation. Remove the gloves and touch 

the lock sensor again.

When the lock operation is performed 

using the lock sensor, recognition signals 

will be shown up to two consecutive 

times. After this, no recognition signals 

will be given.

If the door handle becomes wet while the 

electronic key is within the effective 

range, the door may lock and unlock 

repeatedly. In that case, follow the follow-

ing correction procedures to wash the 

vehicle:

• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. 

(2 m) 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 access system 

with push-button start. (

P.115)

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 

and a door handle becomes wet during a 

car wash, a buzzer may sound outside the 

vehicle and “Key Detected in Vehicle” 

may be shown on the multi-information 

display. To turn off the alarm, lock all the 

doors.

The lock sensor may not work properly if 

it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud,

etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to 

operate it again.

A sudden approach to the effective 

range or door handle may prevent the 

doors from being unlocked. In this case, 

return the door handle to the original 

position and check that the doors unlock 

before pulling the door handle again.

If there is another electronic key in the 

detection area, it may take slightly longer 

to unlock the doors after the door handle 

is gripped.

When the vehicle is not driven for 

extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not 

leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2 m) 

of the vehicle.

The smart access system with push-but-

ton start can be deactivated in advance.

Setting the electronic key to battery-sav-

ing mode helps to reduce key battery 

depletion. (

P.115)

To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when 

operating the system. Do not get the elec-

tronic key too close to the vehicle when 

operating the system from the outside of the 

vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding

WARNING

When adjusting the seat position

Take care when adjusting the seat 

position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving 

seat.

Do not put your hands under the seat 

or near the moving parts to avoid 

injury.

Fingers or hands may become 

jammed in the seat mechanism.

Make sure to leave enough space 

around the feet so they do not get 

stuck.

Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap 

belt during a collision, do not recline the 

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may 

slide past the hips and apply restraint 

forces directly to the abdomen, or your 

neck may contact the shoulder belt, 

increasing the risk of death or serious 

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while 

driving as the seat may unexpectedly 

move and cause the driver to lose control 

of the vehicle.
