Keys
SB12039
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.1. Master key (black)—This key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need it to make you a new key with
builtin transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box and luggage space. A transponder chip for engine immobiliser
system has been filled 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.
To protect things locked in the glove box
or luggage space 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.
SY12001
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:

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.

If you push in the window lock switch on
the instrument panel, the passenger ’s win-
dow cannot be operated.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the heads, hands
and other parts of the bodies of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure that he/she operates the win-
dows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can be involved in
serious accidents.

Indicator light
This onoff switch is designed to dis-
able the passenger airbag in order to
allow usage, if necessary, of a member
of a passenger risk group identified in
TABLE 1 (on page 38) is occupying the
passenger seating position (For details,
see “SRS driver and passenger airbags”
on page 36 in this section.)
Operate onoff switch as follows:
Insert key into the keyhole and turn it in
the glove box.
To turn passenger airbag on: Turn the key
clockwise to the “ON” position.
To turn passenger airbag off: Turn the key
counterclockwise to the “OFF” position.The indicator comes on when the passen-
ger airbag system is off.
To check the airbag cutoff system status,
turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion. The “AIRBAG” warning light and the
“OFF” indicator light should go on for
approximately 4 seconds. If the airbag
switch is turned off, the “OFF” indicator
will continue to illuminate, and if the air-
bag switch is turned on, the “OFF” indica-
tor will not illuminate.
CAUTION
Make sure that the indicator light is
off.
Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual onoff switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 (on
page 38) is occupying the passen-
ger seating position.
When the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch is turned off, the pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the pas-
senger airbag can reduce the occu-
pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.
For details, see “SRS driver and
passenger airbags” on page 36 in this
section.
