KEYS AND DOORS

A transponder chip for the engine immobilizer system has
been placed in the master and valet keys. These chips are
required for 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.
Since the doors and the 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.
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.
Flat keys

included in the key case. Both flat keys are not equipped
with smart key system.
The mechanical flat key works in every lock, but cannot
be used to start the engine.
As a transponder chip is built in the engine start flat key,
you can start the engine only with this key.
A transponder chip for the engine immobilizer system has
been placed in the engine start flat key. This chip is required

Insert your flat key plates in its key case as shown. We
recommend that you always carry this with you for emergency
use. Do not leave it in your vehicle.

FIRST CLICKST OP: Only the parking, tail, license plate, side
marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (“AUTO”): The headlights and all other

light indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
With the knob in the “AUTO” position, there may be a case
that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when
the vehicle enters a dark place such as a tunnel or parking
lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we
recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second
clickstop to turn on the headlights immediately.
When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control knob
is turned fully on.

reduced in daytime even when the headlight switch is turned
to first or second clickstop.

The automatic light control sensor is on the top center of the
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
When you turn on the headlights, the lights automatically turn
off about 30 seconds after any of the doors is opened and
closed with the ignition switch turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK”\
position.* To turn them on again, turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position, or turn the headlight switch off and then twist the
knob until the first or second clickstop. If you are going to park
for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is off.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked and
the trunk closed, pushing the “LOCK” button on the wireless
remote control key turns off the headlights.
NOTE:
* The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details. Daytime Running Light System
The headlights turn on at reduced intensity when the parking
brake is released with the engine started, even with the light
switch in the “OFF” position. They will not go off until the
ignition switch is turned off.

twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Twist
the knob to the second clickstop to turn on the headlights
to full intensity for driving at night.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (“AUTO”), the
headlights will automatic ally adjust to full intensity and/or turn
on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.

ODOMETER AND TRIP METER
13L145
This meter displays the odometer and two trip meters. To
change the mode indication, push the “ODO/TRIP” button
briefly. Each time you push the button, the mode changes
in order from the odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B,
then to the odometer.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The twin trip meter records two different
distances independently.
For example, you can use one meter to calculate the fuel
economy and the other to measure the distance on each trip.
To change the trip meter indication from one trip to the
other, push the “ODO/TRIP” button. To set the trip meter
A to zero, display the meter A reading, then push the
“RESET” button. The same applies for the trip B meter.
The data of trip meters will be cancelled if the electrical power
source is disconnected.
