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.
Keys (with key cylindertype
ignition switch)

Do not cover the key grip with any
material that cuts off electromagnet-
ic waves.
Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
Do not leave the key exposed to
high temperatures for a long period,
such as on the dashboard and hood
under direct sunlight.
Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.
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 a Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.The key consists of an electronic key
and a mechanical key. The mechanical
key is for emergency use. If the elec-
tronic key does not operate, you can
open the driver ’s door using the me-
chanical key.
1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock
or unlock all the doors and can open
the trunk by using the wireless remote
control function or entry function of the
smart key system.
2. Mechanical keys—These keys can lock
or unlock the driver’s door, the glove
box and the door located behind the
rear seat armrest.
Keys (with smart key system)

2007MY CAMRY from Oct. ’06 Prod. (OM33748U)
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.
