Operation signals
Doors: The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been
locked/unlocked. (Locked: Once; Unlocked: Twice)
Windows and moon roof: A buzzer sounds to indicate that the windows and
moon roof are operating.
Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the following sit-
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
If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to
the rear window

To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not
function.)
Note for the entry function
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or
floor, or in the glove box when the engine is started or “ENGINE
START STOP” switch modes are changed.
Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping
the electronic key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically
be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and
closed.)
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the
door.
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle operation may
prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door han-
dle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling
the door handle again.

Operating the power windows after turning the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch OFF
The power windows can be operated for approximately 45 seconds even
after the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY
mode or turned OFF. They cannot, however, be operated once either front

window travel is stopped and the window is opened slightly.
When the power window does not close normally
If the jam protection function is operating abnormally and a window cannot
be closed, perform the following operations using the power window switch
on the relevant door.
After stopping the vehicle, the window can be closed by holding the
power window switch in the one-touch closing position while the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
If the window still cannot be closed even by carrying out the operation
explained above, initialize the function by performing the following pro-
cedure.
Hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position.
Continue holding the switch for a further 6 seconds after the win-
dow has closed.
Hold the power window switch in the one-touch opening position.
Continue holding the switch for a further 2 seconds after the win-
dow has opened completely.
Hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position
once again. Continue holding the switch for a further 2 seconds
after the window has closed.
If you release the switch while the window is moving, start again from the
beginning. If the window continues to close but then re-open slightly even
after performing the above procedure correctly, have the vehicle inspected
by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
