to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.
If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.

from a distance within approximately 1
m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.
When you operate any switch, push it
slowly and securely.
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage to the transmitter.
Do not leave the transmitter in places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.
Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed
information. If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors, back window
or alarm, operate from a normal distance:
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see Replacing
battery" on page 20.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
avoid the possibility of theft, or an
accident. (See If you lose your wireless

If you do either of the following, no side
door or back door can be unlocked with
the power door lock switch.
Lock all the side doors and back door
with the key or wireless remote control
transmitter when all the side doors and
back door are closed.
Open the driver ’s door or front passen-
ger’s door and move the inside lock
knobs of both front doors to the lock
position, then close the front doors.

24

Turn the engine switch to ON".
Unlock all the side doors and back
door with the key or wireless remote
control transmitter.

REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the LOCK"
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

32
CAUTION
To avoid death or serious injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power back
window, always make sure there is
nobody around the power back win-
dow. You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
back window, make sure he or she
operates the window safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
back window switch without super-
vision. Use the window lock switch
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switch.
Be sure to remove the key when
you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the key still in-
serted. Otherwise, he/she could use
the power back window switch and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Keep the back window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
To open the back window with the wire-
less remote control transmitter, see
Opening back window" on page 18 in
this Section.
CY12069

If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the back door does not open after
you reconnect, replace or recharge the
battery. In any of these cases, you should
normalize the back door.
