Keys

Side doors—

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn

it.

1. Master keys—These keys work in ev-

ery lock.

To lock: Turn the key forward.

2. Sub key—This key will not work in the

trunk.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

To unlock: Turn the key backward.

Vehicles with power door lock system—

All the doors lock and unlock simulta-

neously with either front door. In the driv-

er’s door lock, turning the key once will

unlock the driver’s door and twice in suc-

cession will unlock all the doors simulta-

neously.

To protect items locked in the trunk when

using valet parking, leave the sub key

with the attendant.

We recommend writing down the key num-

ber and storing it in a safe place.

Since all 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.

10

2004 COROLLA from Oct. ’03 Prod. (OM12859U)

’04 Corolla_U (L/O 0306)

When the interior light dial is in the

DOOR position and all the doors are un-

locked simultaneously using either the key

or the wireless remote control transmitter,

the interior light will come on and remain

on for about 15 seconds before fading

out. (For further information, see “Interior/

instrument panel light control” on page 79

in Section 1−5.)

CAUTION

Do not pull the inside handle of the

front doors while driving. The doors

will open and an accident may occur.

Toyota strongly recommends that all

children be placed in the rear seat of

the vehicle.

Closing the door with the lock knob in the

lock position will also lock the door. Be

careful not to lock your keys in the ve-

hicle.

LOCKING

INSIDE LOCK KNOB

AND

UNLOCKING

WITH

Vehicles with power door lock system—

Doors cannot be locked when either front

door is open and the key is in the igni-

tion.

Move the lock knob.

To lock: Push the knob forward.

To unlock: Pull the knob backward.

The front doors can be opened by pulling

the inside handle even if the lock knobs

are in the locked position.

LOCKING

AND

UNLOCKING

WITH

POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH

Push the switch.

To lock: Push the switch down on the

front side.

To unlock: Push the switch down on the

rear side.

Operating the switch simultaneously locks

or unlocks all the doors.

If you do either of the following, no door

can be unlocked with the power door lock

switch.

Driver’s side

D Lock all the doors with the key or wire-

less remote control transmitter when all

the doors are closed.

REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS

Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”

position as shown on the label.

D Open the driver’s door or front passen-

ger’s door and move the inside lock

knobs of both front doors to the lock

position, then close the front doors.

This feature allows you to lock a rear

door so it can be opened from the outside

only, not from inside. We recommend us-

ing this feature whenever small children

are in the vehicle.

The power door lock switch can be reset

in the following ways.

D Turn the ignition key to “ON”.

D Unlock all the doors with the key or

wireless remote control transmitter.

D Unlock the driver’s door or front pas-

senger’s door with the inside lock

knob, and then unlock all the doors

with the power door lock switch.

—Wireless remote control

The wireless remote control system is

CAUTION

designed to lock or unlock all the

doors or activate the “PANIC” mode

from a distance within approximately 1

m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.

Before driving, be sure that the doors

are closed and locked, especially

when small children are in the ve-

hicle. Along with the proper use of

seat belts, locking the doors helps

prevent the driver and passengers

from being thrown out from the ve-

hicle during an accident. It also helps

prevent the doors from being opened

unintentionally.

LOCKING

DOORS

AND

UNLOCKING

THE

To lock and unlock all the doors, push

the switches of the transmitter slowly

and securely.

To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the

doors are locked simultaneously. At this

time the turn signal lights will flash once.

Locking operation

Check to see that the doors are securely

locked.

If any door is not securely closed, locking

cannot be performed by the “LOCK”

switch.

To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch

once to unlock the driver’s door alone.

Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds

unlocks all the doors simultaneously. Each

time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, the

turn signal lights will flash twice.

Unlocking operation

13

2004 COROLLA from Oct. ’03 Prod. (OM12859U)

’04 Corolla_U (L/O 0306)

When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,

the interior light comes on. The light re-

mains on for about 15 seconds unless any

door is opened and closed. (For further

information, see “Interior/instrument panel

light control” on page 79 in Section 1−5.)

WIRELESS

TRANSMITTER

REMOTE

CONTROL

The wireless remote control transmitter is

an electronic component. Observe the fol-

lowing instructions in order not to cause

damage to the transmitter.

You have 30 seconds to open a door after

using the wireless remote unlock feature.

If a door is not opened by then, all the

doors will be automatically locked again.

D Do not leave the transmitter on places

where the temperature becomes high

such as on the dashboard.

D Do not disassemble it.

If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept

pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-

tion is not repeated. Release the switch

and then push again.

D Avoid knocking it hard against other

objects or dropping it.

D Avoid putting it in water.

“PANIC” MODE

You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-

trol transmitters for the same vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed

information.

Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the

horn intermittently and flashes the

headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights

and interior light.

If the wireless remote control transmitter

does not actuate the doors or alarm, or

operate from a normal distance:

The “PANIC” mode is used to deter ve-

hicle theft when you witness anyone at-

tempting to break into or damage your

vehicle.

D Check for closeness to a radio trans-

mitter such as a radio station or an

airport which can interfere with normal

operation of the transmitter.

The alarm will last for one minute. To stop

the alarm midway, push any switch on the

transmitter or turn the ignition key from

the “LOCK” to “ON” position.

D The battery may have been consumed.

Check the battery in the transmitter. To

replace the battery, see “REPLACING

TRANSMITTER BATTERY”.

The “PANIC” mode does not work when

the ignition key is in the “ON” position.

14

If you lose your transmitter, contact your

Toyota dealer as soon as possible to

avoid the possibility of theft, or an acci-

dent. (See “If you lose your wireless re-

mote control transmitter” on page 200 in

Section 4.)

After inserting the support rod into

the slot, make sure the rod supports

the hood securely from falling down

on to your head or body.
