The following keys are provided with
the vehicle.

• Operating the smart access system with push-button start ( P.103)
• Operating the wireless remote control function
Mechanical keys
Key number plate
Card key (electronic key) (if
equipped)
Operating the smart access system with
push-button start ( P.103)
■Card key (if equipped)
●The card key is not waterproof.
●The mechanical key that is stored inside
the card key should be used only if a
problem arises, such as when the card key does not operate properly.
●If the battery cover is not installed and the
battery falls out or if the battery was
removed because the key got wet, rein-
stall the battery with the positive terminal
facing the Lexus emblem.
■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.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
(The card key battery life is from one year
to one year and a half.)
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will
sound in the cabin when the engine is
stopped.
●Electronic keys that will not be used for
long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance. ( P.105)
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not
used. The following symptoms indicate
that the electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. ( P.297)
• The smart access system with push-but- ton start or the wireless remote control
does not operate.
