Keys (without engine

immobilizer system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

1. Master keys—These keys work in ev-

ery lock.

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

glove box.

To protect items locked in the glove box

when using valet parking, leave the sub

key with the attendant.

Since the side doors can be locked with-

out

a

key, you should always carry

a

spare key in case you accidentally lock

your keys inside the vehicle.

Type A

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the plate.

Keep the plate in a safe place such as

your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if you

need additional keys, duplicates can be

made by a Toyota dealer using the key

number.

We recommend writing down the key num-

ber and storing it in a safe place.

Keys (with engine immobilizer

system)

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds

of keys.

1. Master keys (black)—These keys work

in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will

need one of them to make a new key

with a built−in transponder chip.

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

in the glove box.

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer

system has been placed 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.

Type A

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans-

ponder chip, observe the following

precautions:

To protect items locked in the glove box

when using valet parking, leave the sub

key with the attendant.

z When starting the engine, 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.

Otherwise the engine may not start,

or may stop soon after it starts.

Since the side doors can be locked with-

out

a

key, you should always carry

a

spare key in case you accidentally lock

your keys inside the vehicle.

Type B

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 and hood

under direct sunlight.

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 engine, do not

use the key with other transponder

keys around (including keys of oth-

er vehicles) and do not press other

key plates against the key grip.

Otherwise the engine may not start,

or may stop soon after it starts. If

this happens, remove the key once

and then insert it again after remov-

ing other transponder keys (includ-

ing keys of other vehicles) from the

ring or while gripping or covering

them with your hand to start the

engine.

z Do not bend the key grip.

Key off operation: The moon roof works

for 45 seconds even after the ignition

switch is turned off. It stops working when

either front door is opened.

D Be sure to remove the ignition key

when you leave your vehicle.

CAUTION

To avoid death or serious personal

injury, you must do the following:

D Never leave anyone (particularly a

small child) alone in your vehicle,

especially with the ignition key still

inserted. Otherwise, he/she could

use the moon roof switch and get

trapped in the roof opening. Unat-

tended person (particularly a small

child) can be involved in a serious

accident.

Jam protection function: If something

gets caught between the moon roof and

frame during closing operation, the moon

roof stops and opens half way.

D While the vehicle is moving, always

keep the heads, hands and other

parts of the bodies of all occupants

away from the roof opening. Failure

to do so may result in death or

serious injury if the vehicle stops

suddenly or if the vehicle is in-

volved in an accident.

If the moon roof receives a strong impact,

this function may work even if nothing is

caught.

If the moon roof does not operate auto-

matically or the jam protection function

does not operate correctly, you should

normalize the moon roof.

D Never sit on top of the vehicle

around the roof opening.

D Before you close the moon roof,

always make sure there is nobody

around the moon roof. You must

also make sure nobody places his

or her head, hands and other parts

of the body in the roof opening. If

someone’s neck, head or hands get

caught in the closing roof, it could

result in death or serious injury.

When anyone closes the moon roof,

first make sure it is safe to do so.

D Never try jamming any part of your

body to activate the jam protection

function intentionally, as it could re-

sult in a death or serious injury.

To normalize the moon roof, push and

hold the moon roof switch on the “TILT

UP” side until the roof fully tilts up. Then

release the switch. Push and hold the

switch on the “TILT UP” side until the

moon roof tilts up, tilts down, slides open

and then closes automatically.

D The jam protection function may

not work if something gets caught

just before the moon roof is fully

closed.

Make sure that the moon roof opens and

closes automatically. If the moon roof can-

not be operated properly, have it checked

by your Toyota dealer.
