Keys
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 side doors, back door (hardtop)
and tailgate (soft- top) 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. 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.
