NOTICE
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.
●
The surface of the card key may be
damaged, or its coating may peel off in
the following situations:
• The card key is carried together with
hard objects, such as coins and keys.
• The card key is scraped with a sharp
object, such as the tip of a mechanical
pencil.
• The surface of the card key is wiped
with thinner or benzene.
Handling the card key
■
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.
The card key is not waterproof.
●
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 acci-
dentally. Pressing a button may cause the
electronic key to emit radio waves that
1-6. Entering/exiting the vehicle
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 EV system
stops.
●
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.
• The smart access system with push-but-
ton start or the wireless remote control
does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself
●
(P.523). However, as there is a danger
that the electronic key may be damaged,
it is recommended that replacement is
carried out by your Lexus dealer.
●
To avoid serious deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m)
of the following electrical appliances that
produce a magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and
battery chargers
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
Battery-saving function
■
The battery-saving function will be acti-
vated in order to prevent the electronic key
battery and the 12-volt battery from being
discharged while the vehicle is not in opera-
tion for a long time.
●
In the following situations, the smart
access system with push-button start may
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an
area of approximately 11 ft. (3.5 m) of the
outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or
longer.
