Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-buttostart uses weak radio waves. In the following situations, the communicatiobetweethe electronic key and the vehicle may be affected, preventing the smart access system with push- buttostart, wireless remote control and engine immobilizer system from operating properly.

l Whethe electronic key battery is depleted
l Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or elec- trical noise
l Whecarrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communicatiodevices
l Whethe electronic key is icontact with, or is covered by the follow- ing metallic object
• Card to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs l Whemultiple electronic keys are ithe vicinity
l Wheother wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
l Whecarrying or using the electronic key together with the following devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems l If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the rear window

l Do not touch the damper stay rod with gloves or other fabric items.
l Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the back door.
l Do not place your hand on the damper sta or appl lateral forces to it

To prevent back door closer malfunction
Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the back door closer is operating.

To prevent damage to the power back door
l Make sure that there is no ice between the back door and frame that would prevent movement of the back door. Operating the power back door when excessive load is present on the back door may cause a malfunction.
l Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the power back door is operating.
l Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the right and left edges of the power back door) with a knife or other sharp object. If the sensor is disconnected, the power back door will not operate in automatic operation.
