KEYS AND DOORS KEYS Since the doors and trunk lid 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. 11L025a We recommend you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place. Flat key 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 trunk and the glove box. Key number plate - Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
