Keys (with engine immobiliser

system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your vehicle is supplied with 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, trunk and armrest door in

the rear seat.

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 will not work

in the glove box, trunk and armrest

door in the rear seat.

To protect things locked in the glove box

or trunk when you have your vehicle

parked, leave the sub key with the atten-

dant.

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 and trunk lid can be

locked without a key, you should always

carry

a

spare master key in case you

accidentally lock your keys inside the ve-

hicle.
