KEYS AND DOORS

KEYS
1Master keys (black) These keys work in every lock.
For your Lexus dealer to make a new key with builtin
transponder chip, your dealer will need one of them.
2Sub key (gray) This key will not open the glove box.
3Key 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 glove box when using valet
parking, leave the sub key with the attendant. Since the side doors and back door 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.

KEYS AND DOORS
22The back door can be locked and unlocked together with the
side doors by means of the power door lock system. (For
instructions, see “Locking with power door lock switch” on
page 20.)
See “Luggage stowage precautions” on page 81 for
precautions to observe in loading luggage.
CAUTION

Keep the back door closed while driving. This not
only keeps the luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from entering the
vehicle.
 If the open back door hides the rear stop and tail
lights or rear turn signal lights while you are parked,
other road users must be warned of the presence of
your vehicle by a warning triangle or other device.
Back door stopper
 1 Lock2 Unlock
For your safety, lock the back door with the door stopper
when you fully open the back door.
When closing the back door, check that the back door stopper
is unlocked.
CAUTION
 When keeping the back door open, use only the lock
lever of the back door stopper without touching the
other parts.
 To avoid serious person al injury, make sure not to get
your hands caught in the back door stay when
closing the back door.

SWITCHES
24
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
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 (“AUTO”): The headlights and all other
lights automatically turn on depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. *
NOTE:
* The sensitivity of the automatic light control sensor can be
changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
When the headlights are on, the headlight indicator lights up in
the instrument cluster. With
the knob in the “AUTO” position, there may be a case
that the headlights do not turn on immediately, even when
the vehicle enters a dark place such as a tunnel or parking
lot according to lighting conditions. In this case, we
recommend you to twist the knob manually to the second
clickstop to turn on the headlights immediately.
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 dial
is turned fully up.
However, the brightness of the instrument cluster will not be
reduced in daytime even when the headlight switch is turned
to first or second clickstop.
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.

SWITCHES
25
When the headlights are on, they automatically turn off about
30 seconds after any side door is opened and closed with the
ignition key turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.* If you
want to turn off
the lights immediately, push the “LOCK” button
on the wireless remote control key twice. The lights also can
be turned off immediately by pushing the “LOCK” button on the
wireless remote control key with all the doors locked.
NOTE:
* The time before turning off the lights can be changed.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
If any of the side door is kept opened, the lights automatically
turn off after 30 minutes.
When the headlight switch is on with all the doors locked,
pushing the “LOCK” button on the wireless remote control key
turns off the headlights.
If you are going to park for over one week, make sure the
headlight switch is off.
Daytime Running Light System
The daytime running light system make your front turn signal
lights turn on when the parking brake is released with the
engine started and the headlights are turned off. They will not
go off until the ignition switch is turned off.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
12PY003
For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch is
off.
