Page 14: Keyless Entry And Keyless Ignition Operation
KEYLESS ENTRY AND KEYLESS IGNITION OPERATION: The Lexus IS-F vehicles do not require the operator to insert a key into a key cylinder to unlock a door or start the vehicle. These vehicles “sense” the proximity of the key and will unlock the door(s) with the key close to the vehicle and when contact is made with the outside door release handle. - Page 15 If there is a problem with the keyless entry system, there is a key cylinder in the driver’s side door to insert the removable metal key from the end of the key fob into to unlock the vehicle (Figure 18). Figure 18 The design of the key proximity sensor system with this vehicle makes it virtually impossible to lock your keys in the vehicle.
