lock TOYOTA CELICA 1996 Owners Manual

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system
in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such
as multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport
fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock
brake system and SRS airbag system, be sure to
check with your T oyota dealer for precautionary mea-
sures or special instructions regarding installation.
The SRS airbag device in your T oyota contains explo-
sive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air-
bags left as they are, it may cause an accident such
as a fire. Be sure to have the SRS airbag system re-
moved and disposed of by a qualified service shop or
by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your ve-
hicle.

Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1 Master keyÐThis key works in every
lock.
2 SubkeyÐThis key is for side doors.
To protect things locked in the glovebox,
trunk or luggage compartment when you
have your vehicle parked, leave the sub-
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors, trunk lid and back
door can be locked without a key, you
should always carry a spare master key in
case you accidentally lock your keys in-
side the vehicle.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.
You should also put a copy of the key
number with your important papers.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH
POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH
Push the switch.
To lock: Push the switch on the front side.
To unlock: Push the switch on the rear
side
Both doors lock or unlock simultaneously.
Before driving, be sure that the side
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the side doors
helps prevent the driver and passen-
gers from being thrown out from the
vehicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the side doors from
being opened unintentionally. CAUTION
!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.


Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all oc-
cupants are kept completely inside
the vehicle before you close the
power windows. If someone's n eck,
head or hands gets caught in a clos-
ing window, it could result in a seri-
ous injury. When anyone closes the
power windows, be sure that they
operate the windows safely.

When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.

Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unattended
children can become involved in se-
rious accidents. CAUTION
!
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the igni-
tion
switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver's door.
Normal operation: The window moves
as long as you hold the switch.
