Operation of each component
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic key bat-
tery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart acce ss system with push-button start may take
some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been le ft in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside
of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-button st art has not been used for 5 days or lon-
ger.
●If the smart access system with push-button start has not been used for 14 days or lon-
ger, the doors cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case,
take hold of the driver’s d oor handle, or use the wireless remote control or the mechan-
ical key, to unlock the doors.
■Electronic Key Battery-Saving Function
●When battery-saving mode is set, battery de pletion is minimized by stopping the elec-
tronic key from re ceiving radio waves.
●Electronic keys that will not be used for long periods of time can be set to the battery-
saving mode in advance.
■Conditions affe cting operation
The smart access system with push-button st art uses weak radio waves. In the following
situations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smar t access system with push-but ton start, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: P. 547)
●When the electronic key battery is depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas st ation, radio station, large display, airport or
other facility that generates strong radio wave s or electrical noise
●When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following metallic
objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby Press twice while pr essing and holding
. Confirm that the el ectronic key indi-
cator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart access system with push-button start
cannot be used. To cancel the function, press

NOTICE
■How to use the cameras
●Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Multi-terrain
Monitor from operating properly.
• Do not strike the camera area, or allow any objects to bump into it
If the camera or surrounding area has re ceived a strong impact, the camera posi-
tion, installation angle, etc., may deviate. If the camera is accidentally subjected to
an impact, have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
• Do not remove, disassemble or modify the camera or surrounding parts
Doing so may result in the camera malfunct ioning. This also may result in a loss of
waterproof performance.

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
●Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
●Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for
the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and br and, and that chains match the size of the

NOTICE
■To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other
components does not occur.
●Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
●Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality,
locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel be arings, causing rusting and premature fail-
ure, and may also enter the differentials, tr ansmission and transfer case, reducing the
gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when cro ssing shallow streams, first check the depth of
the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep
water.
■Inspection after off-road driving
●Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may
affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system components.
●Always perform a maintenance inspection afte r each day of off-road driving that has
taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For scheduled maintenance
information, refer to the “Warranty and Se rvices Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.
