Shift the shift lever to P.
Turn the engine switch to ACC.

New genuine keys can be made by
your Lexus dealer using the other
key and the key number stamped
on your key number plate. Keep
the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
Q When an electronic key is lost
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk
of vehicle theft increases significantly.
Visit your Lexus dealer immediately with
all remaining electronic keys and the
card key (if equipped) that were pro-
vided with your vehicle.
