IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR LOCK YOURSELF OUT You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you can give them the key number and master key, because your vehicle is equipped with the engine immobiliser system. Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to make a new key. However, if you lose all your master keys, the dealer cannot duplicate key but only replace the whole system. 3 4 Push down the shift lock override button. You can shift out of "P" position only while pushing the button. Shift into "N" position. Insert the cover. Start the engine. For your safety, keep the brake pedal depressed. Be sure to have the system checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. See the suggestion given in "Keys" on page 8. You can use the wireless remote control system with the new key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information. 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.
