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 corrode and the card key
●
may stop working.
If the key is dropped into water, or if drinking water etc. is spilled on the key, immedi-
ately remove the battery cover and wipe the battery and terminals.
(To remove the battery cover, lightly grasp it and pull.) If the battery is corroded, have
your Lexus dealer 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 cover may become loose.
●
When installing the battery, make sure to check the direction of the battery.
●
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 follow-
●
ing situations:
• The card key is carried together with hard objects, such as coins or keys.
• The card key is scraped with a sharp object, such as a tip of mechanical pencil.
• The surface of the card key is wiped with thinners or benzene.
Carrying the electronic key on your person
■
Carry the electronic key 3. 9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appliances that are
turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances within 3. 9 in. (10 cm) of the
electronic key may interfere with the key, causing the key to not function properly.
In case of a smart access system with push-button start malfunction or other key-
■
related problems
Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle, including the
card key, to your Lexus dealer.
When an electronic key is lost
■
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit
your Lexus dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys and the card key that
were provided with your vehicle.
