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 glovebox and trunk.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
or trunk when you have your vehicle
parked, leave the subkey with the atten-
dant.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a spare master key in case you
accidentally lock your keys inside the ve-
hicle.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. Subkey (gray)ÐThis key will not work in the glovebox and trunk.
The master key and subkey 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 trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the
subkey with the attendant.
Since the side door can be locked without
a key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.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.
