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
Sub key (gray) – The sub key will not open the trunk
and the glove box.
3
Key number plate – Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been
filled in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable 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 things locked in the trunk or glove box when you
have your vehicle parked, 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 you to write down the key number and keep
it in safe place.
11L003b
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 or trunk.
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.

NOTICE
Do not let the key case become bent as the key may
fall out or become bent also.
The flat key is designed for emergency use only.
KEYS AND DOORS

When using a key containing a transponder chip,
observe the following precautions:
When starting the engine, do not use the key with a
key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the
key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine
may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.
When starting the engine, do not use the key with
other transponder keys around (including keys of
other vehicles) and do not press other key plates
against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not
start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens,
remove the key once and then insert it again after
taking off other transponder keys (including keys of
other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or
covering them with your hand to start the engine.

KEYS AND DOORS
11L023-3
Do not bend the key grip.
Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts
off electromagnetic waves.

for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood
under the direct sunlight.
Do not put the key in water or wash it in an ultrasonic
washer.
Do not use the key with electromagnetic materials.
ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
SV11007
The engine immobiliser system is a theft prevention
system. When you insert the key in the ignition switch, the
transponder chip in the key’s head transmits an electronic
code to the vehicle. The engine will start, only when the
electronic code in the chip corresponds to the registered
ID code for the vehicle.
The system is automatically set when the key is removed from
the ignition switch. At this time, the security indicator light
flashes. When you insert the key in the ignition switch, the
security indicator light goes out and the system is canceled
automatically, which enables the engine to start.
For your Lexus dealer to make you a new key with built–in
transponder chip, your dealer will need your key number and
master key. However, there is a limit to the number of
additional keys your Lexus dealer can make for you.
