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 of 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.

Before driving, be sure that the side

helps prevent the driver and passen-
gers from being thrown out from the

dows 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
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a win-
dow. Unattended children can be-
come involved in serious acci-
dents.
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
