IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEXUS
iv
Accessories, spare parts and modification of
your Lexus
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for
Lexus vehicles are currently available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their performance, repair, or
replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Lexus
products. Modification with non- genuine Lexus products
could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even
violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting from the modification may not
be covered under warranty.
Spark ignition system of your Lexus
The spark ignition system in your Lexus meets all
requirements of the Canadian Interference- Causing
Equipment Standard.
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your
vehicle could affect electronic systems such as the multiport
fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system,
cruise control system, anti-lock brake system, SRS airbag
system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check
with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation.
Tires and loading on your Lexus
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of steering
ability and braking ability, leading to an accident.
Check the tire inflation pressure periodically and be
sure to keep the load limits given in this Owner's
Manual. For details about tire inflation pressure and
load limits, see pages 389 and 309.
Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your
Lexus contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are,
this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the
systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed
and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Lexus
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

KEYS AND DOORS

KEYS
1Master keys (black) Ð These keys work in every lock.
For your Lexus dealer to make a new key with a
built-in transponder chip, your dealer will need one
of them.
2Sub key (gray) Ð This key will not open the glove box
and rear armrest door in the rear seat.
3Key number plate Ð 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 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 items locked in the trunk or glove box when using
valet parking, leave the sub 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 93. For locking the glove box, see page 77. For locking
the rear armrest door, see page 86.
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.

KEYS AND DOORS
11
Flat key
As a transponder chip is built in its key case, you can start
the engine with this key.
The flat key works in every lock.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been
placed in the key case of the flat key. This chip is needed to
enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose
this key. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be
able to cancel the system or start the engine.
Insert your key plate 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.
Starting the engine using a flat key
1. Remove the key plate from the key case.
2. Insert the key plate into the ignition switch. The indicator
light keeps flashing.
3. Bring the key case closer to the ignition switch within 10
seconds as indicated by the arrow head. The indicator light
goes out. This means the engine immobilizer system is
automatically canceled. (For details, see Engine immobilizer
systemº on page 16.) You can put the key case away then. You
cannot cancel the engine immobilizer system if 10 seconds
have past after you inserted the key plate. You need to remove
the key plate from the ignition switch and try it again from the
step 2.
4. Start the engine within 20 seconds after the security
indicator light goes out. You cannot start the engine if 20
seconds have past after the security indicator went off. You
need to remove the key plate from the ignition switch and try
it again from the step 2.
