If you lose your keys
Many Toyota dealers can make a new
key if you can give them the key num-
ber.
See the suggestion given in ”Keys” in
Chapter 1 −2.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the smallest side window be-
cause it is the least expensive to replace.
Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from
the glass.
