KEYS AND DOORS KEYS The trunk lid can be opened using a loop of wire in the trunk even with the trunk lid opener main switch in the glove box turned off. When keeping items in the trunk, be sure to turn off the trunk lid opener main switch and lock the glove box and rear armrest door. To turn off the main switch in the glove box, see page 83. For locking the glove box, see page 68. For locking the rear armrest door, see page 97. Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry the flat key or 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. 1 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. Sub key (gray) − The sub key will not open the glove box and rear armrest door in the rear seat. Key number plate − Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. We recommend you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place. 2 3 A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been filled in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable 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 or trunk when someone else parks your vehicle for you (such as an attendant or valet), leave the sub key with the attendant. 8
