Keys
Key types
The following keys are provided with the vehicle.
■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 accidentally.
Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
You can replace the battery by yourself. However, as there is a danger that the electronic key may be damaged, it is recommended that replacement be carried out by your Lexus dealer.
■Confirmation of the registered key number The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
■If "A New Key has been Registered Contact Your Dealer for Details" is shown on the multi-information display This message will be displayed each time the driver's door is opened when the doors are unlocked from the outside for approximately 10 days after a new electronic key has been registered.
If this message is displayed but you have not had a new electronic key registered, ask your Lexus dealer to check if an unknown electronic key (other than those in your possession) has been registered.
