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 engine
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.

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.

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.

erly, do not touch or cover them.
Do not spray air fresheners or other
products directly into the sensor holes.
