The Smart Key - Lexus 2015 CT 200h Warranty And Services Manual

OTHER BENEFITS AND ASSISTANCE
The best way to ensure that your
vehicle is repaired with Genuine
Lexus Parts is to take it to a Lexus
dealership. Each dealership works
with selected collision repair
centers that meet Lexus' strict
requirements for training, equipment,
quality and customer satisfaction.
These repair centers use Genuine
Lexus Parts exclusively in the repair
of Lexus vehicles.

The Smart Key

Your Lexus vehicle was made with
two "Smart Keys" and an aluminum
key-number plate. Each Smart Key
includes an electronic main key that
has an integrated mechanical backup
key. The electronic key controls the
remote-entry and theft-deterrent
systems, enables the push-button
start switch and controls the engine
immobilizer. The mechanical key
can be removed from the electronic
key and used to operate the driver's
door lock, the glove box lock and
the trunk lock (if equipped).
Replacing the Key
Your Lexus dealer can generate
replacement keys. Certain bonded/
registered locksmiths may also be
able to generate replacement keys.
When ordering a new key, bring all
keys for the vehicle to your dealership.

Other Benefits and Assistance
If a Smart Key or the key-number
plate is not available, a Lexus dealer
or certain locksmiths can obtain
the key code from a restricted-
access database. These businesses
can also access a service utility to
register the keys to the vehicle if all
registered keys have been lost.
If you lock your key in your vehicle
and do not have a spare, your dealer
can make a new mechanical key
from the code on the key-number
plate. Certain bonded/registered
locksmiths may also be able to
generate a replacement mechanical
key. If a Lexus dealer is not available,
please refer to www.aloa.org to find
a bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high-security key service.
Keeping the Key Safe
Replacing a Smart Key may be costly.
We advise you to keep a spare
Smart Key and the key-number plate
in a safe place. If you record the key
number in more than one place, do
not record it in a way that can be
easily identified and associated with
the vehicle. For example, don't leave
the number somewhere that can be
accessed by a valet. It is wise to keep
a copy of the key number outside of
the vehicle.
