Keys
The master key works in every lock.
The subkey will not work in the glove- box.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the subkey with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door can
be locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside the
vehicle.Keep the key number 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.

OPERATING THE PASSENGER 's WIN-
DOW
Use the switch on the passenger 's
door. The driver 's door also has a
switch that controls the passenger 's
window.
The window moves as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.
If you push in the window lock button on
the driver 's door, the passenger 's window
cannot be operated.CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body 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, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button 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 become in-
volved in serious accidents.

Back doorÐ
To open the back door from the out-
side, insert the key and turn it clock-
wise.
See ºLuggage stowage precautionsº in
Part

ing luggage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door,
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.

SETTING THE SYSTEM 1. Turn the ignition key to the ºLOCKº position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30
seconds before the setting, during which
the side doors, back door and hood may
be opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing any side door. This will cancel the
system.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indicator
light will flash to show the system is set.
If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is open at that time, the setting is
interrupted until it is closed and locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut
the starter circuit under the following
conditions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is unlocked without using the key
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on. Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets
the alarm each time all the side doors,
back door and hood are closed after the
alarm stops.
The alarm will be activated again under
the following conditions:
If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the ºLOCKº to
ºACCº position. The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep
the alarm from being reactivated when any
of the side doors, back door or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the back door can
be opened by using the key without set-
ting off the system. While the back door
is open, the setting is interrupted and the
side doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery termi-
nal is disconnected and then reconnected,
the system is activated.

and the system will automatically be reset
after two seconds when the back door is
closed with the key removed.

cancels the system completely and the
starter circuit cut will be cancelled at
once.

three indications.

the key to open the side doors, back door
and hood.

the key. Be sure to wait until the indi-
cator light starts flashing.
3. Unlock either side door from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either side doors with the key.
5. Repeat this operation for the other side doors, back door and hood. When test-

er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.

SUPRA (U)

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection for the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seat
belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,
the SRS airbags work together with the
seat belts to help prevent or reduce injury
by inflating, in order to decrease the likeli-
hood of the driver 's or front passenger 's
head or chest directly hitting the steering
wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag
is activated even with no passenger in the
front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt.
CAUTION
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or dashboard
during airbag deployment can be
killed or seriously injured. Toyota
strongly recommends that: The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.
All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position. It goes off after about
6 seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in-
flators, warning light, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources.
SRS driver and front
passenger airbags

SUPRA (U)37

Do not modify or remove any wir-
ing. Do not modify, remove, strike
or open any components such as
the steering wheel column cover,
front passenger airbag cover, front
passenger airbag, airbag sensor as-
sembly. Doing any of these may
cause sudden SRS airbag inflation
or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious inju-
ries.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting yourToyota dealer. Such changes can in- terfere with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system in some cases.
Installation of electronic items suchas a mobile two- way radio, cassette
tape player or compact disc player
Modification of the suspension sys-tem
Modification of the front end struc-ture
Attachment of a grille guard (bullbar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow,
winches or any other equipment tothe front end
Repairs made on or near the front end structure, console, steering col-
umn, steering wheel or dashboard
near the front passenger airbag
This SRS airbag system has a service
reminder indicator to inform the driver of
operating problems. If either of the follow-
ing conditions occurs, this indicates a mal-
function of the airbags. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to ser-
vice the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the ºACCº or
ºONº position, or remains on.
The light comes on while driving.
