Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every lock.
2. Sub keyÐThis key will not work in the glove box.
To protect things locked in the glove box
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the sub key with the attendant.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.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 you to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.

Your vehicle is supplied with the two
kinds of key. 1. Master key (black)ÐThis key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need it to make you a new key with
built- in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)ÐThis key does not work in the glove box.
The master key and sub key each have
a transponder chip in their key head
which is very important for the system
function, 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. To protect things locked in the glove box
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the sub key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare master key in case you accidentally
lock your keys inside the vehicle.
For information on use of the wireless
remote control key, see ºSide doorsº in
this chapter.NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the followingprecautions:
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring restingon 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.
