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.

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.
