2-7. Windows

Before Driving
Power W indows
The windows can be opened/closed by operating the power window
switches.
When driving with only one of the rear windows open, your ears might experi-
ence a resonating sound. However, this does not indicate a prob lem. The
sound can be reduced by slightly opening a front window or by changing the
size of the rear window opening.
WARNING
■ Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window
Closing a power window is dangerous. A person’s hands, head, or even
neck could be caught by the window and result in serious injury or even
death. This warning applies especially to children.
■ Never allow children to play with power window switches
Power window switches that are not locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate power windows unintentio nally,
which could result in serious injury if a child’s hands, head o r neck becomes
caught by the window.
■ Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully
closed position or while holding up the power window switch
Blocking the power window just before it reaches the fully clos ed position or
while holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window f rom closing
all the way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries could occu r.

The window opens while the switch is pressed and it closes while the
switch is pulled up with the ignition switched ON. Do not open or close
three or more window s at the same time.
The front passenger’s side and re ar windows can be opened/closed

■ Opening/Closing windows
●A power window may no longer open/close if you continue to press the
switch after fully opening/closing the power window. If the pow er window
does not open/close, wait a moment and then operate the switch again.
● The passenger windows may be opened or closed using the master control

opened, the power window will stop operating.
For engine-off operation of the power window, the switch must b e held up
firmly throughout window closure because the auto-closing funct ion will be

Before Driving
Immobilizer System
If someone attempts to start the engine with an unrecognized ke y, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to pre vent vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the i mmobilizer system or the key, consult
your Toyota dealer.
● The keys carry a unique electronic code. For this reason, and t o assure your
safety, obtaining a replacement key requires some waiting time. They are
only available through your Toyota dealer.
● Always keep a spare key in case one is lost. If a key is lost, consult your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● If you lose a key, your Toyota dealer will reset the electronic codes of your
remaining keys and immobilizer system. Bring all the remaining keys to your
Toyota dealer to reset.
Starting the vehicle with a key that has not been reset is not possible.
The immobilizer system allows the engine to start only with a
key the system recognizes.
NOTICE
● Radio equipment like this is governed by laws in the United Sta tes.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party re sponsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the e quipment.
● To avoid damage to the key, do not:
• Drop the key.
• Get the key wet.
• Expose the key to any kind of magnetic field.
• Expose the key to high temperatures on places such as the dash board
or hood, under direct sunlight.

2-8. Security System
■Arming
The system is armed when the
ignition is switched from ON to
off.
The security indicator light in
the combination meter flashes
every 2 seconds until the sys-
tem is disarmed.
■Disarming
The system is disarmed when the ignition is switched ON with the
correct programmed key. The sec urity indicator light illuminates for
about 3 seconds and then turns off. If the engine does not star t with
the correct key, and the security indicator light remains illuminated
or flashing, try the following:
Make sure the key is within the operational range for signal tr ans-
mission. Switch the ignition of f, and then restart the engine. If the
engine does not start after 3 or more tries, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The engine may not start and security indicator light may illum inate or flash
if the key is placed in an area where it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the dashboard or in the glove compartment. M ove the
key to a location within the signal range, switch the ignition off, and then
restart the engine.
● Signals from a TV or radio station, or from a transceiver or mo bile telephone
could interfere with your immobilizer system. If you are using the proper key
and the engine fails to start, check the security indicator light.
● If the security indicator light flashes continuously while you are driving, do
not shut off the engine. Go to your Toyota dealer and have it checked. If the
engine is shut off while the indicator light is flashing, you w ill not be able to
restart it.
● Because the electronic codes are reset when the immobilizer sys tem is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make sure to bring all the keys to your Toy-
ota dealer so that they can be programmed.
