■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 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.349) • The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper-
ate. • 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 1 m (3 ft.) 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.349
■Confirmation of the registered key number
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer 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 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.

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.
