KEYS

11L025c
1 Master keys (black) – These master keys work for
every lock. For your Lexus dealer to make a new key
with built–in transponder chip, your dealer will need
one of them.
2 Sub key (gray) – The sub key will not open the trunk,
trunk main switch, the glove box and trunk storage
extension door.
3 Key number plate – Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
A transponder chip for the engine immobiliser system has
been placed in the head of the master and sub keys. These
chips are required for 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 trunk or glove box when using
valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant.

Since the doors and trunk lid 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 writing down the key number and storing it in
a safe place.
