Steering lock release

If the engine does not start

Check whether the other keys will start the engine.

If they work, your key may be broken. Have the key checked at your Lexus dealer.

■

Starting the engine using the flat key

Put the key case away when the indicator light goes out. This means the

engine immobilizer system has turned off.

Start the engine within 20 seconds after the indicator light goes off.

When starting the engine, the engine switch

may seem stuck in the “LOCK” position. To

free it, turn the key while turning the steering

wheel slightly in either direction.

Remove the flat key from its case. Insert the

removed flat key into the engine switch.

Bring the key case close to the engine switch

within 10 seconds as indicated by an arrow.
