Vehicle Starting/Stopping
The Smart Key has replaced the conventional metal
cut key, and the power button with an integral
status indicator light has replaced the ignition
switch. The Smart Key only needs to be in proximity
to the vehicle to allow the system to function.
• With the brake pedal released, the first push of
the power button operates the accessory mode,
the second push operates the ignition-on mode,
and the third push turns the ignition off again.

• Starting the vehicle takes priority over all other
ignition modes and is accomplished by
depressing the brake pedal and pushing the
power button once. To verify the vehicle has
started, the power button status indicator light is
off and the READY light is illuminated in the
instrument cluster.
• If the internal Smart Key battery is dead, use the
following method to start the vehicle.
1. Touch the Lexus emblem side of the Smart Key
to the power button (a buzzer will sound).
2. Within 10 seconds after the buzzer sounds,
push the power button with the brake pedal
depressed (the READY light will illuminate).
• Once the vehicle has started and is on and
operational (READY-ON), the vehicle is shut off
by bringing the vehicle to a complete stop,
placing the gearshift lever in Park, and then
depressing the power button once.
