Keys

A transponder chip for the hybrid vehicle

immobiliser system has been filled in the

head of the master and sub keys. These

chips are required for the system to func-

tion correctly, so be careful not to lose

these keys. If you make your own dupli-

cate key, you will not be able to cancel

the system or start the hybrid system.

21p001

21p002a

To protect items locked in the trunk when

someone else parks your vehicle for you

(such as an attendant or valet), leave the

sub key with them.

Since the doors and trunk can be locked

without a key, you should always carry a

spare master key in case you accidentally

lock your keys inside the vehicle.

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans-

ponder chip, observe the following

precautions:

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.

z When starting the hybrid system,

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. Doing so may prevent the hy-

brid system from starting.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work

in the trunk.

18

z Do not cover the key grip with any

material that cuts off electromagnet-

ic waves.

z Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

z Do not leave the key exposed to

high temperatures for a long period,

such as on the dashboard or hood

under direct sunlight.

21p003a

21p004a

z Do not put the key in water or

wash it in an ultrasonic washer.

z Do not use the key with electromag-

netic materials.

z When starting the hybrid system,

do not use the key in proximity

with other transponder keys (includ-

ing keys of other vehicles) and do

not press other key plates against

the key grip. Doing so may prevent

the hybrid system from starting or,

may cause the hybrid system to

stop soon after it starts. If this hap-

pens, remove the key once and

then insert it again after taking off

other transponder keys (including

keys of other vehicles) from the

ring or while gripping or covering

them with your hand to start the

hybrid system.

z Do not bend the key grip.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

The hybrid vehicle immobiliser system

is a theft prevention system. When you

insert the key in the ignition switch,

the transponder chip in the key’s head

transmits an electronic code to the ve-

hicle. The hybrid system will start, only

when the electronic code in the chip

corresponds to the registered ID code

for the vehicle.

The system is automatically set when the

key is removed from the ignition switch.

The indicator light will start flashing to

show the system is set.

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If either of the following indicator condi-

tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

D The indicator light stays on except

when the theft deterrent system is set-

ting or activating. (See ”Theft deterrent

system” on page 34 in this section.)

We recommend that you write down the

key number and keep it in a safe place.

D The indicator light does not start flash-

ing when the key is removed from the

ignition switch.

D The indicator light flashes unsteady.

20

Inserting the registered key in the ignition

switch automatically cancels the system,

which enables the hybrid system to start.

The indicator light will go off.
