KEYS
11L025a
1
Master key − The master key works in every lock. For
your Lexus dealer to make you a new key with built−in
transponder chip, your dealer will need it.
2
Sub key − The sub key will not open the glove box and
rear console box.
3
Key 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 items locked in the glove box or rear console box
when someone else parks your vehicle for you (such as an
attendant or valet), leave the sub key with that person.
The trunk lid can be opened using a loop of wire in the rear
console box 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 console box. To turn off the main switch in the
glove box, see page 86. For locking the glove box, see page
68. For locking the rear console box, see page 66.
Since the doors 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 that you write down the key number and keep
it in a safe place.
