The trip meter data will be reset.

If the trip meter was displayed last, the odometer will be displayed after resetting.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the engine and its components

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates

the maximum engine speed.

The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red

zone  (H).  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the vehicle in a safe place, and check the

engine after it has cooled completely. (

CAUTION

The multi-information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the information display. At

extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and

display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing

rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that the vehicle

is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,

exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the

vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

During setting up the display
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting up the dis-

play features.

Fuel consumption in the past 30
minutes
Cruising range

Average fuel consumption for the past 30 minutes is divided by color into past
averages and averages attained since the engine switch was last turned to
IGNITION ON mode. Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a refer-
ence.

The image is an example only.

Resetting the data
The data can be deleted by selecting “Clear”.

Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with the quantity of fuel

remaining.
This  distance  is  computed  based  on  your  average fuel consumption. As a result, the

actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.

Fuel consumption information can be displayed on the multimedia screen or
navigation system screen.

To take out the mechanical key, slide
the release lever and take the key out.

After using the mechanical key, store it

in the electronic key. Carry the mechan-

ical key together with the electronic key.

If the electronic key battery is depleted

or the entry function does not operate

properly, you will need the mechanical

key. (

P. 556)

Panic mode

When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (

P. 410)

tronic key only.

If you lose your mechanical keys
New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Lexus dealer using another

mechanical key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the plate

in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

Using the mechanical key

When 

 is pressed for longer than about

one second, an alarm will sound intermittently

and the vehicle lights will flash to deter any per-

son from trying to break into or damage your

vehicle.
To stop the alarm, press any button on the elec-

tronic key.

3-1. Key information

When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any but-

tons 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

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine is stopped.

(

P. 537)

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 elec-

tronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. (

P. 489)

• The smart access system with push-button 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.

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

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones

• Table  lamps

• Induction cookers

NOTICE

To prevent key damage

Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.

Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods 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 keys.

Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.

Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, audio

systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical equipment, such as low-fre-

quency therapy equipment.

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 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 that were provided

with your vehicle.
