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.

them with your hand to start the en-

gine.

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.

D Users of any electrical medical device

other than implanted pacemakers and

cardiac defibrillators should consult
