2 Insert your finger, the screwdriver or equivalent into the
hole to push down the shift lock override button. You
can shift the selector lever while pushing the button.
For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed.
Be sure to have the system checked by your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR
LOCK YOURSELF OUT
Many Lexus dealers can make a new key if you can give
them the key number. Since your vehicle is equipped with
the engine immobiliser system, the dealer will also need
your master key.
See the suggestion given in ”Keys” on page 10.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must break a window to get
in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it
is the least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to
avoid cuts from the glass.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole system must be replaced.
