Before driving
■Conditions affecting operation
In the following situations, the wireless remote control may not operate properly:
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant, broadcasting station, airport or other
facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise, an audio or other
radio wave emitting device or a large display
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wire-
less communication device
●When multiple wireless remote controls are in the vicinity
●When the wireless remote control is in contact with, or is covered by certain
metallic objects
●When another wireless remote control (that emits radio waves) is being used
nearby
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a wireless remote control function onto an aircraft, make sure you
do not press any buttons on the wireless remote control while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the wireless remote control in your bag etc, ensure that
the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause
the wireless remote control to emit radio waves that could interfere with the opera-
tion of the aircraft.
■Customization that can be conf igured at your Lexus dealer
Settings (e.g. door unlocking function and door lock buzzer sound) can be
changed. (Customizable features P. 383)
