Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every lock.
2. SubkeyÐThis key will not work in the trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a
spare master key in case you acci-
dentally 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.
You should also put a copy of the key
number with your important papers.
