Keys
The master key works in every lock.
The subkey will not work in the glove- box.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
when you have your vehicle parked, leave
the subkey with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door 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.Keep the key number 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.
