KEYS AND DOORS KEYS To protect items locked in the trunk or glove box when using valet parking, leave the valet key with the attendant. 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 92. For locking the glove box, see page 77. For locking the rear armrest door, see page 85. 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. 1 Master keys (black) - These 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. Valet key (gray) - This 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. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Lexus dealer using the key number. We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place. 2 3 A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed in the head of the master and valet 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. 10
