KEYS AND DOORS D Do not put the electronic key in water or wash it in an ultrasonic washer. D Do not keep the electronic key together with the products emitting electromagnetic waves such as a cellular phone. D Do not disassemble the electronic key. D Do not place the electronic key near electrical appliances (e.g. television, computer or stereo) or electrical medical equipment such as low frequency medical appliances. D If gasoline, polishing agents or oil adheres to the electronic key, it may deform or crack over time. The electronic keys are required to deactivate the engine immobilizer, and are essential for the engine immobilizer 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 when using valet parking, turn the trunk lid opener main switch to inoperative or lock the glove box if necessary, and leave the electronic key (with the mechanical key removed) with the attendant. For details, see "Trunk lid opener main switch" on page 126. If you should lose your electronic keys or if you need additional electronic 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. 9
