KEYS AND DOORS
8
KEYS
11L025-3
1 Master key (black) − 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 Subkey (gray) − The subkey will not open the glovebox.
3 Key number plate − Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
The master key and subkey each have a transponder chip in their key
head which is very important for the immobiliser system function,
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 things locked in the glovebox when you have your vehicle
parked, leave the subkey with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door 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.
You should also put a copy of the key number with your important
papers.
11L003
Since a transponder chip is not built in this flat key, you cannot
start the engine with this key. Use this key to release the lock in
case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Insert your flat key 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.
