KEYS AND DOORS

KEYS
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.
Subkey (gray) ± The subkey will not open the trunk, trunk
main switch and the glovebox.
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 trunk or glovebox when you
have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey 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.

SWITCHES
33
To turn the lights on, twist the knob on the end of the lever.
FIRST CLICKSTOP: Only the parking, tail, license plate,
side marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.
THIRD CLICKSTOP (ºAUTOº): The headlights and all
other lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness
of the surroundings.
When the headlights are on, the headlight indicator lights up
in the instrument cluster.
Manually twist the knob to the second clickstop to turn on
the headlights if they are needed immediately when
entering a dark tunnel, parking structure, etc.

SWITCHES
34
The automatic light control sensor is on top of the driver's
side instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not
affix anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
The lights automatically turn off when the driver's door is
opened with the ignition key turned to the ºACCº or ºLOCKº
position. To turn them on again, turn the ignition key to the
ºONº position or turn the headlight switch off and then twist
the knob until the first or second clickstop. If you are going
to park for over one week, make sure the headlight switch is
off.
When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control
knob is turned fully on.
