Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and
outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 229, 232)
Adjusting the mirrors
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the
effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and
stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident and the adjust-
ment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to feel
tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to continue
driving and take a break immediately.

1-2. Theft deterrent system
The indicator light flashes after the
engine switch has been turned off to
indicate that the system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing
after the engine switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode to indicate that the

■Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system (key with a
built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
Engine immobilizer system
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the
engine from starting if a key has no t been previously registered in the
vehicle’s on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the ve hicle when you leave the vehicle.
This system is designed to help pr event vehicle theft but does not guar-
antee absolute security ag ainst all vehicle thefts.

1131-2. Theft deterrent system
1
For safety and security
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
Do one of the following to deactivate or stop the alarm:
Vehicles without airbag manual on-off system
●Unlock the doors or open the trunk.
●Turn the engine switch to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode, or
start the engine. (The alarm will be deactivated or stopped after a few
seconds.)
Vehicles with airbag manual on-off system
●Unlock the doors or open the trunk using the entry function or wireless
remote control.
●Start the engine. (The alarm will be deactivated or stopped after a few
seconds.)
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
■Items to check before locking the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure of the fol-
lowing:
●Nobody is in the vehicle.
●The windows and moon roof (if equipped) are closed before the alarm is set.
●No valuables or other personal items are left in the vehicle.
Deactivating or stopping the alarm

1663-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year and
a half.)
●If the battery is low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine is started or
stopped. ( P. 158)
●The battery becomes depleted even if the electronic key is not used because the
key always receives radio waves. If the smart entry & start system or the wireless
remote control does not operate, or the detection area becomes smaller, the bat-
tery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 575)
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.) of
the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
■When the electronic key battery is fully depleted
 P. 575
■Customization
Settings (e. g. smart entry & start system) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 667)

1963-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
CAUTION
■Trunk easy closer
■Power trunk lid
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk lid.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or
anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the
trunk is about to open or close.
●If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during automatic
operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on an incline, as the
trunk lid may open or close suddenly.
●On an incline, the trunk lid may suddenly shut after it opens automatically. Make
sure the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
●In the following situations, the power trunk lid may detect an abnormality and
automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to be operated
manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped trunk lid may suddenly
shut, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic
operation
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The
power trunk lid may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the trunk lid may
suddenly shut again after it is opened.
In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly
open, the trunk easy closer will automatically
close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the trunk easy closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers or anything else in the trunk lid, as this
may cause bone fractures or other serious
injuries.

2023-3. Adjusting the seats
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Operating the foldable head restraint (vehicles with relaxation seat)
●If the seatback angle is adjusted using the switches located on the side of the front
passenger’s seat or center console when the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode, the head restraint will operate as follows:
• When tilting the seatback forward: After the seatback movement ends, the head
restraint starts to rise and fold. A signal beeps once operation is complete. If the
switch is released during the operation, the head restraint will return to the neu-
tral position.
• When tilting the seatback backward: If the head restraint is folded, it will return
to the neutral position.
●In the following situations, the head restraint will not operate even when the seat-
back angle adjustment switch is operated:
• The engine switch is off.
• The weight of an occupant or heavy object, etc. is detected on the front passen-
ger’s seat.
• The front passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
• The front passenger’s door is open.
■Operating the front passenger’s seat from the rear seat (vehicles with relaxation
seat)
The front passenger’s seat can be operated when the engine switch is in IGNITION
ON mode. However, in the following situations, the front passenger’s seat does not
move even when the switch is operated:
●The weight of an occupant or heavy object etc. is detected on the front passenger’s
seat.
●The front passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
●The front passenger’s door is open. (The front seat will not move forward.)
■Seat cushion automatic length adjustment (driver’s seat)
If the front of the cushion gets too close to the area around the instrument panel
when the seat position is being adjusted, the seat cushion will automatically retract.
■Seat operation automatic stop function (vehicles with relaxation seat)
If a front seat is likely to come into contact with the retractable table (4-seat models)
or the ottoman during seat operation or activation of the power easy access system,
a buzzer will sound and seat slide operation will be stopped partway.
(A warning message will be shown on the multi-information display.)
