
To prevent key damage
Observe the following.

Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.

Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.

Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.

Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.

Do not disassemble the electronic keys.

Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as
TVs, audio systems, glass top ranges, or medical electrical equipment,
such as low-frequency therapy equipment.

When a vehicle key is lost
If the key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately with all remaining electronic keys and
the card key that was provided with your vehicle.

Precautions for handling the card keys

Do not apply excess force when inserting the mechanical key to the card
key. Doing so may damage the card key.

If the battery or card key terminals get wet, the battery may rust and the
smart entry & start system become inoperable.
If the key is dropped into water, or if drinking water etc. is spilled on the
key, immediately remove the battery cover and wipe the battery and ter-
minals. (To remove the battery cover, lightly grasp it and pull.) If the bat-
tery is rusted, have any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional, replace the battery.

Do not crush the battery cover or use a screwdriver to remove the battery
cover. Forcibly removing the battery cover may bend or damage the key.

If the battery cover is frequently removed, the battery cover may become
loose.

When installing the battery, make sure to check the direction of the bat-
tery.
Installing the battery in the wrong direction may cause the battery to
deplete rapidly.
