KEYS AND DOORS

1Master key (black) ± The master key works in
every l ock. For your Lexus dealer to make you
a new key with built±in transponder chip, your
dealer will need it.
2 Sub key (gray) ± The sub key will not open the
trunk, glove box and 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 immobiliser system has
been filled in the head of the master and sub 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 things locked in the trunk or glove box when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key 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 lose your keys or if you need additional
keys, duplicates can be made by a Lexus dealer using
the key number.
We recommend you to write down the key number and
keep it in safe place.

Since a transponder chip is not built in this flat key,
you cannot start the engine with this key. Use this
key to release the lock in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle or trunk.
Insert your flat key 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.NOTICE
Do not let the key case become bent as the keymay fall out or become bent also.
The flat key is designed for emergency useonly.

For the replacement of the battery, see ªReplacing 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 ªIf you lose your keys or lock yourself outº
on page 377.)

same vehicle. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed
information.

wireless remote unlock feature. If a door is not opened
by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again.
