quality and customer satisfaction.
These repair centers use Genuine
Lexus Parts exclusively in the repair
of Lexus vehicles.
The s mart 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).
r eplacing 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 dealer -
ship. 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 lock -
smiths 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 s afe
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.

MAINTENANCE Scheduled Maintenance Log70 Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the level of the engine coolant on the
see-through reservoir. Add coolant
as necessary. When replacing, drain
the cooling system and refill with
coolant. Always use Genuine Toyota
Super Long-Life Coolant or similar
high-quality non-silicate, non-amine,
non-nitrate, non-borate ethylene-
glycol coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology (i.e., a
combination of low phosphates and
organic acids). A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Check the radiator and condenser
for blockage by leaves, dirt or insects
and clean if necessary. Also check
the hose connections for corrosion
and condition of installation.
n ote: Initial replacement of engine
coolant is at 120 months/100,000
miles. Replace every 60 months/
50,000 miles thereafter. Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified
intervals. SAE 0W-20 oil is the best
choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather. If SAE
0W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-20
may be used; however, it must be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the
next oil change. See your Lexus
dealer for oil specifically formulated
for your vehicle’s engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
replaceable oil-filter element and oil-
filter cap O-ring; replace both at each
oil change. For instructions on how to
reset the reminder light, refer to your
Owner’s Manual.
n ote: If you do the majority of your
driving under any of the special
operating conditions indicated on
page 44, you should replace the
engine oil and oil filter every six
months or 5,000 miles, regardless
of the oil used or the certification
of the vehicle.
