quality and customer satisfaction.
These repair centers use Genuine
Lexus Parts exclusively in the repair
of Lexus vehicles.
The Smart Key
Your Lexus vehicle was made with
two “Smart Keys” and an aluminum
key-number plate. Each Smart Key
includes an electronic main key that
has an integrated mechanical backup
key. The electronic key controls the
remote-entry and theft-deterrent
systems, enables the push-button
start switch and controls the engine
immobilizer. The mechanical key can
be removed from the electronic key
and used to operate the driver’s door
lock, the glove box lock and the trunk
lock (if equipped).
Replacing the Key
Your Lexus dealer can generate
replacement keys. Certain
bonded/registered locksmiths may
also be able to generate replacement
keys. When ordering a new key,
bring all keys for the vehicle to your
dealership. If a Smart Key or the
key-number plate is not available,
a Lexus dealer or certain locksmiths
can obtain the key code from a
restricted-access database. These
businesses can also access a service
utility to register the keys to the vehicle
if all registered keys have been lost.
If you lock your key in your vehicle
and do not have a spare, your dealer
can make a new mechanical key from
the code on the key-number plate.
Certain bonded/registered lock-
smiths may also be able to generate
a replacement mechanical key. If a
Lexus dealer is not available, please
refer to www.aloa.org to find a
bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high-security key service.
Keeping the Key Safe
Replacing a Smart Key may be costly.
We advise you to keep a spare Smart
Key and the key-number plate in a
safe place. If you record the key
number in more than one place, do
not record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the
vehicle. For example, don’t leave
the number somewhere that can be
accessed by a valet. It is wise to keep
a copy of the key number outside of
the vehicle.
