Keys  
Side doors—  
These keys work in every lock.  
KEY NUMBER PLATE  
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY  
Since the side doors and back door can  
be locked without a key, you should al-  
ways carry a spare key in case you acci-  
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.  
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.  
To lock: Turn the key forward.  
To unlock: Turn the key backward.  
If you should lose your keys or if you  
need additional keys, duplicates can be  
made by a Toyota dealer using the key  
number.  
5door models—All the side doors and  
back door lock and unlock simultaneously  
with either front door. In the driver’s door  
lock, turning the key once will unlock the  
driver’s door and twice in succession will  
unlock all the side doors and back door  
simultaneously.  
We recommend writing down the key num-  
ber and storing it in a safe place.

careful not to lock your keys in the ve-  
hicle.

a key, you can unlock the back door only

Back door  
CAUTION  
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 AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY  
When closing the back door, the inside  
handle can be used to make the reach  
easier.  
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn  
it.  
To close the back door, lower it and press  
down on it. After closing the back door,  
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-  
ly closed.  
To lock: Turn the key clockwise.  
To unlock: Turn the key counterclockwise.  
5door models—  
Operating the power door lock switch si-  
multaneously locks or unlocks the back  
door (see “Side doors” on page 8).  
CAUTION  
However, once you lock it by a key, you  
can unlock it only by the key.  
Keep the back door closed while driv-  
ing. This not only keeps the luggage  
from being thrown out but also pre-  
vents exhaust gases from entering  
the vehicle.  
See “Cargo and luggage” on page 120 in  
Section 2 for precautions to observe when  
loading luggage.

Hood  
To open the hood:  
2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the  
auxiliary catch lever and lift the  
hood.  
3. Hold the hood open by inserting the  
support rod into the slot.  
1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The  
hood will spring up slightly.  
To insert the support rod into the slot,  
move it straight up. If it is moved to the  
side or toward the inside of the vehicle,  
it may become detached.  
CAUTION  
Before driving, be sure that the hood  
is closed and securely locked. Other-  
wise, the hood may open unexpected-  
ly while driving and an accident may  
occur.  
Before closing the hood, check to see that  
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,  
etc. and return the support rod to its clip−  
this prevents rattles. Then lower the hood  
and make sure it locks into place. If nec-  
essary, press down gently on the front  
edge to lock it.

Fuel tank cap  
CAUTION  
After inserting the support rod into  
the slot, make sure the rod supports  
the hood security from falling down  
on to your head or body.  
NOTICE  
Be sure to return the support rod to  
its clip before closing the hood. Clos-  
ing the hood with the support rod up  
could cause the hood to bend.  
This indicates that the fuel filler door  
is on the left side of your vehicle.  
1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the

CAUTION  
D Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-  
low open flames when refueling.  
The fumes are flammable.  
D When opening the cap, do not re-  
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-  
er, fuel under pressure could cause  
injury by spraying out of the filler  
neck if the cap is suddenly re-  
moved.
