Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
before you scrap your vehicle.
CAUTION
General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your
vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

To take out the mechanical key:
Electronic keys: Slide the
release lever and take the key
out.
Card key: Press the lock release
button and take the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the

inserted in a lock cylinder, turn
it over and re-attempt to insert
it.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key.
Carry the mechanical key
together with the electronic key.

depleted or the entry function
does not operate properly, you
will need the mechanical key.

When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 449)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant
with the electronic key only.
Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a mechanical key is lost, a new key can be made at any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional using the key number plate. (P. 629)
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 elec-
tronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the
aircraft.

NOTICE
To prevent key damage
Observe the following:
Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
Do not expose the keys to high temperatures 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, or medical electrical equip-
ment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.
Carrying the electronic key on your person
Carry the electronic key 10 cm (3.9 in.) or more away from electric appli-
ances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances
within 10 cm (3.9 in.) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
ing the key to not function properly.
In case of a smart entry & start system malfunction or other key-related
problems
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle,
including the card key, to any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
When a vehicle key is lost
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately with all remaining electronic keys and
the card key that was provided with your vehicle.
