Notes for a smart access system with push-button start
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range, the
door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correction proce-
dures to wash the vehicle:
●
Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehi-
cle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
●
Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with
push-button start. (

Aluminum wheels
●
Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes or
abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
●
Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after driving for
long distance in the hot weather.
●
Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
■
Brake caliper coating (vehicles with orange brake calipers for F SPORT models)
●
When using detergent, use neutral detergent.
Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the coating.
●
Do not use detergent on the brake calipers when they are hot.
●
Wash detergent off immediately after use.

■
Front side windows water-repellent coating (if equipped)
●
The following precautions can extend the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate on the windows for a long period.
Clean the windows with a soft, damp cloth as soon as possible.
• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that contain abrasives when cleaning the windows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to remove condensation build up.
●
When the water-repellent performance has become insufficient, the coating can be
repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
