KEYS AND DOORS

Keys—

—Standard-type ignition switch

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of

keys.

NOTICE

1. Master keys (black)—

When using a key containing a tran-

sponder chip, observe the following pre-

cautions:

These keys work in every lock. Your Toyo-

ta dealer will need one of them to make

a new key with a built-in transponder chip.

D 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 en-

gine may not start, or may stop soon

after it starts.

Since the doors and boot lid can be locked

without a key, you should always carry a

spare master key in case you accidentally

lock your keys inside the vehicle.

2. Sub key (grey)—

This key will not work in the glove box,

boot and the door located behind the rear

seat armrest.

To protect items locked in the boot or

glove box when using valet parking, leave

the sub key with the attendant.

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser

system has been placed in the head of the

master and sub keys. These chips are

needed to enable the system to function cor-

rectly, 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.

12

KEYS AND DOORS

NOTICE

When starting the engine, do not use the

key with other transponder keys (both

master keys and sub key) around, in-

cluding keys of other vehicles, and do

not press other key plates against the

key grip.

D Do not bend the key grip.

D Do not cover the key grip with any ma-

terial that cuts off electromagnetic

waves.

D Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

D If you do, the engine may not start, or

may stop soon after it starts.

D Do not leave the key exposed to high

temperatures for a long period, such

as on the dashboard and bonnet under

direct sunlight.

D If the engine does not start, or stops

soon after it starts, remove the key

once and then insert it again after re-

moving other transponder keys (in-

cluding keys of other vehicles) from

the ring or while gripping or covering

them with your hand to start the en-

gine.

D Do not put the key in water or wash

it in an ultrasonic washer.

D Do not use the key with electromag-

netic materials.

13

KEYS AND DOORS

—Smart entry and start system

KEY NUMBER PLATE

The key consists of an electronic key and

a mechanical key. The mechanical key is

for emergency use. If the electronic key

does not operate, you can open the

driver’s door using the mechanical key.

Your key number is shown on the plate. If you

lose your keys or if you need additional keys,

duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer

using the key number.

1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock or

unlock all the doors and can open the boot

by using wireless remote control function

and entry function of the smart entry and

start system.

NOTICE

D Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet and not in the vehicle.

D Write down the key number and store

it in a safe place.

2. Mechanical keys—These keys can lock

or unlock all the doors, but cannot start

the engine.

NOTICE

Spare keys should not be left inside the

vehicle.

In the event that a spare key is left in the

cabin, the smart entry and start system

will remain activated even after the doors

have been locked. Under these circum-

stances, the boot can be opened even after

the driver has exited and locked the vehi-

cle, increasing the risk of theft. See “Boot

lid” on page 35 in this Section.

A transponder chip for the engine immobiliser

system has been placed in the electronic

keys. This chip is needed to enable the sys-

tem to function correctly, so be careful not

to lose these keys.

14

KEYS AND DOORS

CAUTION

D People with implanted pacemakers or

cardiac defibrillators should keep

away from smart entry and start sys-

tem antennas. This is because the

radio waves may affect the operation

of such devices. See “ANTENNA LO-

CATION” on page 26 in this Section.

D Users of any electrical medical device

other than implanted pacemakers and

cardiac defibrillators should consult

the manufacturer of the device for in-

formation about its operation under

the influence of radio waves. This is

because the radio waves could have

unexpected affects on the operation

of such medical devices.

USING A MECHANICAL KEY

When you use the mechanical key, press the

release button and take out the mechanical key

as shown. Be sure to put the mechanical key

back when not in use.

D If necessary, the entry function can be

disabled. See “DISABLING THE

SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM”

on page 29 in this Section.

NOTICE

When using an electronic key contain-

ing a transponder chip, observe the fol-

lowing precautions:

D Do not affix any material that cuts off

electromagnetic waves (such as

metal seal) on the electronic key.

a

D Do not knock the electronic key hard

15

KEYS AND DOORS

Engine immobiliser system

The engine immobiliser system is a theft

prevention system that uses an electronic

code. An electronic chip in the key con-

tains an electronic code that is trans-

mitted to the vehicle. Only when the the

electronic code in the chip corresponds

to the vehicle’s registered code will the

immobiliser system be cancelled allowing

the engine to start.

NOTICE

Contact your Toyota dealer if any of the

following indicator conditions occurs:

D The indicator light stays on except

when the theft deterrent system is set-

ting or activating. See “Theft deterrent

system” on page 39 in this Section.

D The indicator light does not start flash-

ing under the following situations:

Vehicles with standard-type ignition

switch—When the key is removed

from the ignition switch.

Vehicles with smart entry and start

system—When the ENGINE START

STOP button is pressed off.

D The indicator light flashes inconsis-

tently.

The engine immobiliser system is automati-

cally cancelled when:

The engine immobiliser system is automati-

cally set when:

D Vehicles with standard-type ignition

tion.

The indicator light will start flashing to show

that the system is set.

When the system is cancelled, the indicator

light will go off.

Vehicles with standard-type ignition switch—

If the engine is turned off and the key is left

in the ignition switch for 20 seconds, the en-

gine immobiliser system will also be set. In

this case, the system can be cancelled by

turning the ignition switch on.

16

KEYS AND DOORS

Wireless remote control—

For your Toyota dealer to make you a new

key with a built-in transponder chip, your

dealer will need your key number and key

(vehicles with standard-type ignition switch)

or electronic key (vehicles with smart entry

and start system). 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 system or

start the engine.

NOTICE

Vehicles with standard-type ignition switch

Do not modify, remove or disassemble

the engine immobiliser system. If any

unauthorised changes or modifications

are made, proper operation of the sys-

tem cannot be guaranteed.
