Keys  
To protect items locked in the glove box  
when using valet parking, leave the sub  
key with the attendant.  
Since the side doors can be locked with-  
out  
a
key, you should always carry  
a
spare key in case you accidentally lock  
your keys inside the vehicle.  
Your vehicle is supplied with the two  
kinds of keys.  
NOTICE  
When using a key containing a trans-  
ponder chip, observe the following  
precautions:  
1. Master keys (black)—These keys work  
in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will  
need one of them to make a new key  
with a builtin transponder chip.  
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.  
2. Sub key (gray)—This key does not  
work in the glove box.  
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer  
system has been placed 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.

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 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.  
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 remov-  
ing 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.  
z Do not bend the key grip.
