IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY 2 Insert your finger, the screwdriver or equivalent into the hole to push down the shift lock override button. You can shift the selector lever while pushing the button. IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR LOCK YOURSELF OUT Many Lexus dealers can make a new key if you can give them the key number. Since your vehicle is equipped with the engine immobiliser system, the dealer will also need your master key. See the suggestion given in "Keys" on page 7. If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you, using their special tools. If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the smallest side window because it is the least expensive to replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from the glass. Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot make new keys; the whole system must be replaced. For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed. Be sure to have the system checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. 307
