1001-3. Theft deterrent system
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehi-
cle.
The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as
when the vehicle is towed away. (if equipped)
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will be set automatically
when the alarm is set. (P. 97)
Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle,
make sure to stop the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor before set-
ting the alarm, as they will respond to movement inside the vehi-
cle.
Turn the power switch off.
Press the intrusion sensor
and tilt sensor cancel
switch.
A message will be shown on the
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to re-
enable the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor.
NOTICE
To ensure the system operates correctly
Do not modify or remove the system. If modified or removed, the proper
operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.

For safety and security
Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are
canceled.
After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the power
switch or unlocking the doors using the entry function, wireless remote con-
trol or mechanical key will re-enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when
the alarm system is deactivated.
Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle
is subject to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the
following:
• Wind or the movement of objects
such as leaves and insects inside the
vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from
devices such as the intrusion sensors
of other vehicles
• The movement of people outside the
vehicle
Unstable items, such as dangling acces-
sories or clothes hanging on the coat
hooks, are in the vehicle.

GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Tilt sensor detection considerations (if equipped)
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
Any of the tires loses air pressure.
The vehicle is jacked up.
An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly
Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects
between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detec-
tion performance.
To ensure that the sensors operate prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.
Do not spray air fresheners or other
products directly into the sensor holes.

GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Note for locking the doors (vehicles with entry function)
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) 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 entry
& start system. (P. 149)

during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. 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, or use
the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.
Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.
Note for the unlocking function (vehicles with entry function)

doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle
again.
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) 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 entry
& start system. (P. 149)
