KEYS AND DOORS

KEYS
Vehicles with power back door system
Vehicles without power back door system
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.
3Key number plate — Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
A transponder chip for the engine immobilizer system has been
placed in the head of 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 glove box when using valet
parking, leave the valet key with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door 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.

to make the reach easier.
To close the back door, lower it and press down on it. After
closing the back door, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely

lights or rear turn signal lights while you are parked,
other road users must be warned of the presence of
your vehicle by a warning triangle or other device.

apply any force, paint or let any other foreign matter on
them.
