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.

W
e realize that your confidence in
the quality and reliability of our
products was a key factor in
your decision to buy a Toyota. We also
know how disruptive the loss of
transportation can be to your daily routine.
That’s why we’re pleased to offer you the
benefits of our Transportation Assistance
Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible for
transportation assistance if your Toyota
must be kept overnight for
warranty-covered repairs. The policy
applies when your vehicle must be kept
overnight for any of the following reasons:
•The warranty repairs will take longer
than one day to complete.
•The warrantable condition requires
extensive diagnosis.
•The parts needed for the warranty
repairs are not readily available and
your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe to
drive. The policy does not apply when warranty
repairs can be completed in one day but
the vehicle must be kept overnight due to
dealer or owner scheduling conflicts.
The Transportation Assistance Policy
applies for the duration of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all
2018 model-year Toyotas sold and
serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships
in the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your
Toyota dealer.
