KEYS AND DOORS

KEYS
1Master keys (black) — These keys work in every lock.
For your Lexus dealer to make a new key with a
builtin transponder chip, your dealer will need one
of them.
2Valet key (gray) — This key will not open the glove
box and rear armrest door in the rear seat.
3Key number plate — Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been
placed in the head of the master and valet keys. These chips
are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be
careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate
key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the
engine. To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using
valet parking, leave the valet key with the attendant.
The trunk lid can be opened using a loop of wire in the trunk
even with the trunk lid opener main switch in the glove box
turned off.
When keeping items in the trunk, be sure to turn off
the trunk lid opener main switch and lock the glove box and rear
armrest door. To turn off the main switch in the glove box, see
page 92. For locking the glove box, see page 77. For locking
the rear armrest door, see page 85.
Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always
carry the flat key or spare master key in case you accidentally
lock your keys inside the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys,
duplicates can be made by a Lexus dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in
a safe place.

When you operate any button on the key, push it slowly and
surely. At this time, the indicator light on the key grip flashes

The operational range of the wireless remote control is
approximately 1 meter (3 ft.). The effective range may vary
with different conditions. To activate the wireless remote
control without fail, do it approximately 1 meter (3 ft.) from your
Lexus. In the following cases, the battery in the key may be
discharged. If this is the case, replace it using a special
screwdriver.

The remote control does not work.
 The operational range of wireless remote control becomes
extremely short.
 The indicator light on the key is dimmed or does not come
on.
For the replacement of the battery, see “Replacing the battery”
on page 21. You can also have the battery of the key replaced
by your Lexus dealer.
If you lose the wireless key, contact your Lexus dealer as soon
as possible to avoid the possibility of theft, or an accident. (See
“If you lose your keys or lock yourself out” on page 323.)
You can use up to 4 wireless remote control keys for the same
vehicle. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
The wireless remote control key is an electronic
component. Observe the following instructions in order
not to cause damage to the key.
 Do not leave the wireless remote control key in places
where the temperature becomes high such as on the
dashboard.
 Do not disassemble it.
 Avoid knocking it hard against other objects or dropping it.
 Avoid putting it in water.

You can adjust the beep loudness with the knob under the
instrument panel. Turning the knob clockwise increases the
volume and turning it counterclockwise until it stops turns the
buzzer off.

Whenever small children are in the vehicle, lock the rear
door so that it does not open by the inside door handle.
To do this, move the lever to the lock position as shown on
the label next to the lever.
THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
To deter theft of the vehicle, this system is designed to
sound an alarm if any of the doors, trunk or hood is
forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected while the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights and turn signal lights.
Further more when the interior light switch is in the “DOOR”
position, the interior light turns on.
After the alarm is activated, when you unlock any door using
an ignition key or wireless remote control, the tail lights turn on
for about 2 seconds to inform you that the system was
activated.
