If you lose your keys

Many Toyota dealers can make a new

key if you can give them the key num-

ber.

See the suggestion given in ”Keys” in

Chapter 1−2.

If your keys are locked in the vehicle and

you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota

dealers can still open the door for you,

using their special tools. If you must

break

a

window to get in, we suggest

breaking the smallest side window be-

cause it is the least expensive to replace.

Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from

the glass.

3. Place your palms under either front

convertible top side rail around its

center and lower the convertible top

all the way down. Raise the sun vi-

sors.

4. Return the manual control switch to

the opposite side of the ”MANUAL”

position, attach the cover, and close

the trunk.

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury, do not

grasp the convertible top side rails.
