Theft-Deterrent System

The GS 450h is equipped with an advanced vehicle theft-deterrent and engine-immobilizer [1] system. Each vehicle's unique rolling code scrambles every time the vehicle is started. If it's not the same one transmitted by your SmartAccess [1] [2] key fob, the vehicle is rendered immobile.

[1]The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. The key transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key, it can be costly to replace. If you lose a key, your Lexus dealer can help, or you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high security key services at www.aloa.org. [2]The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system. Back to top
