IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR
LOCK YOURSELF OUT
You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you
can give them the key number and master key, because
your vehicle is equipped with the engine immobiliser
system.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. However, if you lose all your master keys, the
dealer cannot duplicate key but only replace the whole system.
See the suggestion given in "Keys" on page 10.
You can use the wireless remote control system with the new
key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
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.
