KEYS AND DOORS

Flat key
As a transponder chip is built in its key case, you can start
the engine with this key.
The flat key works in every lock.
A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been
filled in the key case of the flat key. This chip is needed to
enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to
lose this key. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not
be able to cancel the system or start the engine.
Insert your key plate 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.
Starting the engine using a flat key
1. Remove the key plate from the key case.
2. Insert the key plate into the ignition switch. The indicator
light keeps flashing.
3. Bring the key case closer to the ignition switch within 10
seconds as indicated by the arrow head. The indicator light
goes out. This means the engine immobiliser system is
automatically canceled. (For details, see “Engine immobiliser
system” on page 12.) You can put the key case away then. You
cannot cancel the engine immobiliser system if 10 seconds
have past after you inserted the key plate. You need to remove
the key plate from the ignition switch and try it again from the
step 2.
4. Start the engine within 20 seconds after the security
indicator light goes out. You cannot start the engine if 20
seconds have past after the security indicator went off. You
need to remove the key plate from the ignition switch and try
it again from the step 2.

screwdriver.
 The remote control does not work.
 The operational range of wireless remote control becomes
extremely short.
 The indicator light on the key is dimmed or does not come
on.
For the replacement of the battery, see “Replacing the battery”
on page 18. You can also have the battery of the key replaced
by your Lexus dealer.
If you lose the wireless key, contact your Lexus dealer as soon
as possible to avoid the possibility of theft, or an accident. (See
“If you lose your keys or lock yourself out” on page 277.)
You can use up to 4 wireless remote control keys for the same
vehicle. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
The wireless remote control key is an electronic
component. Observe the following instructions in order
not to cause damage to the key.
 Do not leave the wireless remote control key on places

door not closed securely, the buzzer sounds for 10 seconds.**
To stop the buzzer, close all the doors securely or push the
“UNLOCK” button. If the key is in the ignition switch, locking
cannot be done.
Make sure all the doors are locked when you leave the vehicle.

seconds from the first push, all other doors are also

At this time, two beeps sound and the turn signal lights flash
twice.* Together with the activation of unlocking, the interior
light comes on for 15 seconds if the interior light switch is in
“DOOR” position.** However, this function does not work
when the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position. For\
further information, see “Illuminated entry system” on page 64.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the wireless
remote unlock feature.*** If a door is not opened by then, all
the doors will be automatically locked again.
Even if the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” button is kept pressed in, the
locking or unlocking operation is not repeated. Release the
button and then push again. NOTE:
* The turn signal lights can be set not to flash and beep
volume can be changed.
** The duration of lighting can be changed
