KEY PLATE This key works in every lock.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare key
in case you accidentally lock your keys in-
side the vehicle.
Keep your 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.

hicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the doors from being
opened unintentionally.

er, if both doors are closed, they work for 60 seconds even after the ignition switch
