KEYS
The master keys work in every lock. The subkey will not
open the trunk, the glovebox and the armrest door in the
rear seat.
To protect things locked in the trunk or glovebox when you
have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you
should always carry a spare master key in case you
accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Wireless keys:
Avoid knocking them hard against other objects.
Avoid putting them in water.
For information on use of the wireless remote control key, see
page 11.Keep the key number plate in a safe place such as your
wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should require replacement or additional keys for any
reason, contact your Lexus dealer.
You should also put a copy of the key number with your
important papers.

9 Insert your flat key in its key case as shown. We recommend
that you always carry this with you as a spare. Do not leave it
in your vehicle.
NOTICE:
Do not let the key case become bent as the key may
fall out or become bent also.
The flat key is designed for emergency use only, so do
not use it regularly instead of the other master keys.
DOORS
Locking with key
Turn the key towards the front of the vehicle to lock and
towards the back to unlock.
The doors lock and unlock simultaneously with either front
door. In the driver’s door lock, turning the key once will unlock
the driver’s door and twice in succession will unlock all doors
simultaneously. In the passenger’s door lock, turning the key
once will unlock all doors simultaneously.

Locking with inside lock button
Push in the lock button to lock and unlock the door.
When locked, the door cannot be opened with either the
outside or inside door handle.
Closing the door with the lock button pushed in will also lock
the door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. The
door will not lock if the key is left in the ignition switch when
closing the front doors.
CAUTION:
Before driving, make sure the doors are closed and
locked, especially when small children are in the vehicle.
Along with the proper use of seat belts, locking the doors
helps prevent the driver and passengers from being
thrown out from the vehicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
Locking with power door lock switch
To lock all the doors simultaneously, push the power door
lock switch on the “DOOR LOCK” side. Pushing on the
opposite side will unlock them.

Locking with rear door child-protector
Whenever small children are in the vehicle, lock the rear
door so that it does not open from the inside. To do this,
turn the knob to the “LOCK” position as shown on the
label next to the knob.
Locking with wireless remote control key
When you push the remote control switch of the master
key, all the doors can be locked or unlocked from outside
the vehicle.
However, if any door is not closed securely or the key is in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be done by the remote control
switch.

12When you push the remote control switch, the vehicle sounds
one beep when the doors are locked by remote control, and
two beeps when the doors are unlocked.
You can adjust the beep loudness with the knob. Turning the
knob clockwise increases the volume and turning it
counterclockwise until it stops turns the buzzer off.The operational range of the wireless remote control is
approximately 1 meter (3 feet) from the outside handle of the
driver’s door. The effective range may vary with different
conditions.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the remote
unlock feature. If a door is not opened by then, all doors will
automatically relock.
When any door is unlocked, pushing the remote control switch
locks all the doors. To unlock the doors, push the switch again.
Continued pushing of the remote control switch will not cause
repeated locking and unlocking of the doors. To reverse the
operation performed by the remote control switch, the switch
must first be released, then pressed again.
If pushing the remote control switch does not actuate the
doors, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
