Keys

(with engine immobiliser

system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your vehicle is supplied with the two

kinds of keys.

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

1. Master key—This key works in every

lock.

1. Master key (black)—This key works in

every lock. Your Toyota dealer will

need it to make you a new key with

built−in transponder chip.

2. Sub key—This key will not work in the

glove box.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key does not

work in the glove box.

To protect things locked in the glove box

when you have your vehicle parked, leave

the sub key with the attendant.

We recommend you to write down the key

number and keep it in safe place.

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser

system has been filled 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.

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.

’01 4Runner_U (L/O 0008)

To protect things locked in the glove box

when you have your vehicle parked, leave

the sub key with the attendant.

Since the side doors can be locked with-

out

a

key, you should always carry

a

spare master key in case you accidentally

lock your keys inside the vehicle.

For information on use of the wireless

remote control key, see “Side doors” in

this section.

NOTICE

z When starting the engine, do not

use the key with other transponder

keys around (including keys of oth-

er vehicles) and do not press other

key plates against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start,

or may stop soon after it starts. If

this happens, remove the key once

and then insert it again after taking

off other transponder keys (includ-

ing keys of other vehicles) from the

ring or while gripping or covering

them with your hand to start the

engine.

When using a key containing a trans-

ponder chip, observe the following

precautions:

z When starting the engine, do not

use the key with a key ring resting

on the key grip and do not press

the key ring against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start,

or may stop soon after it starts.

z Do not cover the key grip with any

material that cuts off electromagnet-

ic waves.

z Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

z Do not leave the key exposed to

high temperatures for a long period,

such as on the dashboard and hood

under the direct sunlight.

z Do not put the key in water or

wash it in an ultrasonic washer.

z Do not use the key with electromag-

netic materials.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

z Do not bend the key grip.

Your key number is shown on the 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 Toyota dealer using the key

number.

We recommend you to write down the key

number and keep it in safe place.

Engine immobiliser system

Inserting the registered key in the ignition

switch automatically cancels the system,

which enables the engine to start. The

indicator light will go off.

For your Toyota dealer to make you a

new key with built−in transponder chip,

your dealer will need your key number

and master key. However, there is a limit

to the number of additional keys your

Toyota dealer can make for you.

If you make your own duplicate key,

you will not be able to cancel the sys-

tem or start the engine.

The engine immobiliser system is

a

The system is automatically set when the

key is removed from the ignition switch.

The indicator light will start flashing to

show the system is set.

NOTICE

theft prevention system. When you in-

sert the key in the ignition switch, the

transponder chip in the key’s head

transmits an electronic code to the ve-

hicle. The engine will start, only when

the electronic code in the chip corre-

sponds to the registered ID code for

the vehicle.

Do not modify, remove or disas-

semble the engine immobiliser sys-

tem. If any unauthorized changes or

modifications are made, the proper

operation of the system cannot be

guaranteed.

If either of the following indicator condi-

tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.

D The indicator light stays on except

when the theft deterrent system is set-

ting or activating. (See “Theft deterrent

system”.)

D The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the

ignition switch.
