2003 Lexus SC 430 Owners Manual - Page 29

KEYS AND DOORS KEYS The trunk lid can be opened using a loop of wire in the rear console box 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 console box. To turn off the main switch in the glove box, see page 86. For locking the glove box, see page 68. For locking the rear console box, see page 66. Since the doors 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. 11sa10a 1 Master keys - These master keys work in every lock. For your Lexus dealer to make a new key with a built-in transponder chip, your dealer will need one of them. Sub key - The sub key will not open the glove box and rear console box. Key number plate - Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place. 2 3 A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been placed 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 rear console box when using valet parking, leave the sub key with the attendant. 8
