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

ponder chip, observe the following

precautions:
