THE NEW WORLD OF
ANTI-THEFT TECHNOLOGY
This Toyota vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic “immobilizer” anti-theft
system. When the key is inserted into the
ignition switch it transmits an electronic
code to an immobilizer computer. The
engine will only start if the code in the key
matches the code in the immobilizer. If the
code does not match, the immobilizer
disables the ignition and fuel systems.
While an exact physical copy of the key
will open the door and allow retrieval of
items locked in the vehicle, it won’t start
the vehicle unless the key has the same
code as the immobilizer.
SECURITY
For security purposes, access to key
codes and service procedures for
electronically registering replacement keys
is restricted. Only a Toyota dealer or
certain bonded/registered independent
locksmiths can generate replacement keys.

REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should have
two master keys and an aluminum tag
with a key-code imprinted on it.
To generate a fully functional replacement
key (one that will both open the doors and
start the engine), one of the master keys
is required. To make a key that will open
the door for retrieval of items locked
inside the vehicle, the aluminum key-code
tag can be used. If a master key or the
aluminum key-code tag is not available, a
Toyota dealer or certain registered
locksmiths can obtain the key code from a
restricted-access database. These
businesses can also access a service
utility to reprogram the immobilizer if all
registered master keys have been lost. If a
Toyota dealer is not available, please refer
towww.aloa.org to find a
bonded/registered locksmith who performs
high security key service.
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be
costly. It is advisable to keep a spare
master key and the aluminum key-code
tag in a safe place. If you record the
key-code in more than one place, do not
record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the vehicle.
It is wise to keep a copy of the key-code
outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less than
two keys and the aluminum key-code tag,
consider having the Toyota dealer or a
qualified independent automotive
locksmith make a duplicate key before you
need it.

neglect or improper maintenance of your
vehicle.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the fuel injection system,
ignition system, catalytic converter and

IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine oil
level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter (see
the Maintenance Log section of this
booklet to determine how often you
should change your vehicle’s oil and
filter). Failure to do so can cause oil
starvation and or oil gelling, which can
result in severe damage to your vehicle
and require costly repairs that are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Maintenance Records
Maintaining your vehicle according to the
recommendations in this booklet is
required to ensure that your warranty
coverage remains intact. You should keep
detailed records of vehicle maintenance,
including date of service, mileage at time
of service and a description of service
and/or parts installation performed. The
scheduled maintenance log in this booklet
can help you document this information. If
you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have records to
show that you maintained your vehicle.
However, damage or failure caused by lack
of proper maintenance are not covered
under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
Maintenance and repair services may be
performed by you or by any automotive
service provider you choose. Toyota will
not deny a warranty claim solely because
you used a service provider other than a
Toyota dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failure
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.
Dealer-Recommended
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or more
maintenance services than those listed in
the scheduled maintenance log. These
additional services are not required to
maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your
dealer to explain any recommended
maintenance not included in the scheduled
maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota
warranty coverages, see the Warranty
Information portion of this booklet.

the maintenance log indicates services that
should be performed on vehicles that are

conditions. These “special operating
conditions” and their required maintenance
items are clearly indicated in each chart.
NOTE:You should perform these
additional maintenance services only if
the majority of your driving is done
under the special operating conditions
indicated. If you only occasionally
drive under these circumstances, it is
not necessary to perform the
additional services.
Engine Oil Selection
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
the specific oil viscosity rating
recommended for your vehicle/engine
type.
Additional Maintenance

your Toyota requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures are
explained in the Vehicle Maintenance and
Care section of the
Owner’s Manual.Be
sure to perform these procedures regularly
to ensure the most trouble-free operation
of your vehicle.
SuperChrome and Alloy Wheel
Care
If you purchased genuine Toyota
accessory Aluminum Alloy Wheels, follow
these cleaning guidelines to maintain the
appearance of your alloy wheels:
• If wheels are hot, wait for them to
cool before washing.
• Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to
apply the same mild car-wash soap as
used for the vehicle body. Quickly
rinse off with water. Use a soft cloth
to apply the same car wax as used for
the vehicle body.
• DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical
based cleaners, alcohol, solvents,
gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring
pads, wire brushes, or coarse
abrasives to clean your wheels.
