changing lanes.

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  unintentionally,
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.

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 responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the e quipment.
● To avoid damage to the key, do not:

Before Driving
■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 security 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.
