Using the mechanical key
Take out the mechanical key.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one
side. If the key cannot be
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.
If the electronic key battery is
depleted or the entry function
does not operate properly, you
will need the mechanical key.
(P. 458)
Card key
The mechanical key that is stored inside the card key should be used
only if a problem arises, such as when the key does not operate properly.
If it is difficult to take out the mechanical key, push down the lock
release button using a pen tip etc. If it is still difficult to pull it out, use a
coin etc.
To store the mechanical key in the
card key, insert it inside while
pressing the lock release button.

The card key is not waterproof.
When required to leave a key to the vehicle with a parking attendant
Turn the trunk opener main switch off and lock the glove box as circum-
stances demand. (P. 57, 324)
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 by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional, using the key number plate. (P. 457)
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 electronic
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
If the battery cover is not installed
and the battery falls out or if the bat-
tery was removed because the key
got wet, reinstall the battery with
the positive terminal facing the
Lexus emblem.

uations, the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may
be affected, preventing the smart entry & start system and wireless remote
control from operating properly:
(Ways of coping: P. 458)
When the electronic key battery is depleted
Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large
display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or elec-
trical noise
When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication devices
When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the follow-
ing 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 multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
When another wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
When carrying or using the electronic key together with the following
devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle's electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio
waves
• Personal computer or personal digital assistant (PDA)
• Digital audio player
• Portable game system

Switching the door unlock function
It is possible to set which doors the entry function unlocks.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
Cancel the intrusion sensor of the alarm system to prevent unin-
tended triggering of the alarm during the setting change. (P. 97)
When the indicator on the key surface is turned off, push and
hold or for approximately 5 seconds while pushing
on the key.
The setting changes each time an operation is performed, as shown below.
(When changing the setting continuously, release the buttons, wait for at
least 5 seconds, and repeat step 3.)
To prevent unintended triggering of the alarm, unlock the doors using the
wireless remote control and open and close a door once after the settings
have been changed. (If a door is not opened within 30 seconds after is
pressed, the doors will be locked again and the alarm will automatically be
set.)
In case that the alarm is triggered, immediately stop the alarm. (P. 9 7 )
