Ty p e A
Ty p e B
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys (black)—
These keys work in every lock. Your
Toyota dealer will need one of them to
make a new key with a built−in trans-
ponder chip.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside
the vehicle.
Type B only—This key is fitted with the
wireless remote control transmitter. For
information on use of the wireless re-
mote control transmitter, see “Wireless
remote control” on page 20 in this Sec-
tion.
2. Sub key (gray)—
This key will not work in the glove box,
trunk and the door located behind the
rear seat armrest (on some models).
To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking,
leave the sub key with the attendant.A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these
keys. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the system
or start the engine.

Spare keys should not be left in the
cabin. In the event that a spare key is
left in the cabin, the smart key system
will remain actuated even after the
doors have been locked. Under these
circumstances, the trunk can be opened
even after the driver has exited and
locked the vehicle, increasing the dan-
ger of theft. (Refer to “OPENING
TRUNK WITH SMART KEY SYSTEM” on
page 46 in this Section.)
To protect items locked in the trunk or the
glove box when using valet parking, leave
the electronic key with the attendant. Keep
the mechanical key with you. For details
about locking the trunk opener switch, see
“—Luggage security system” on page 47
in this Section.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the electronic
keys. These chips are needed to enable
the system to function correctly, so be
careful not to lose these keys.CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system
antennas, because the radio waves
may affect the operation of such
devices. For the antenna locations
see “ANTENNA LOCATION” on page
32 in this Section.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
If necessary, the entry function can
be disabled. See “DISABLING THE
SMART KEY SYSTEM” on page 36
in this Section.
NOTICE
When using a electronic key contain-
ing a transponder chip, observe the
following precautions:
Do not affix any material that cuts
off electromagnetic waves (such as
a metal seal) on the electronic key.
Do not knock the electronic key
hard against other objects.
Do not leave the electronic key ex-
posed to high temperatures for a
long period, such as on the dash-
board or hood under direct sun-
light.
Do not put the electronic key in
water or wash it in an ultrasonic
washer.
Do not keep the electronic key to-
gether with the products emitting
electromagnetic waves such as a
cellular phone.

USING A MECHANICAL KEY
When you use the mechanical key push
the release button and take out the me-
chanical key as shown. Be sure to put the
mechanical key back when not it use.KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.The engine immobilizer system is a
theft prevention system using an elec-
tronic code. The transponder chip in
the key has an electronic code and
transmits the code to the vehicle. Only
when the electronic code in the chip
corresponds to the register ID code for
the vehicle, the engine immobilizer sys-
tem will be canceled and the engine
will start.

your dealer will need your key number
and master key (vehicles with key cylin-
der−type ignition switch) or electronic key
(vehicles with smart key system). Howev-
er, there is a limit to the number of addi-
tional keys your Toyota dealer can make
for you.

“START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the “ON” position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 315 in Section
3.
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories
on.
This is the normal driving position.
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position and open the driver’s
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove
the key.“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
You must push in the key to turn the key
from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. On
vehicles with an automatic transmission,
the selector lever must be put in the “P”
position before pushing the key.
Once you remove the key, the engine im-
mobilizer system is automatically set. (See
“Engine immobilizer system” on page 18
in Section 1−2.)
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rotate the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
Approximately five hours after the engine
is turned off, you may hear sound coming
from underneath the luggage compartment
for several minutes. This is normal opera-
tion and does not indicate a malfunction.
(See “Leak detection pump” on page viii.)
It is not a malfunction if the needle on all
meters and gauges move slightly when the
key is turned to the “ACC”, “ON” or
“START” position.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the “ON”
position if the engine is not running.
The battery will discharge and the
ignition could be damaged.
