KEYS

Master key ± The master key works in every lock.
Subkey ± The subkey will not open the glovebox.
Key number plate ± Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
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.
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.
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.
