tow TOYOTA TACOMA 2010 Warranties & Maintenance Guides (in English)

REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should have
two master keys, one valet key and an
aluminum tag with a key-code imprinted
on it.
To generate a fully functional replacement
key (one that will both open the doors and
start the engine), one of the master keys
is required. To make a key that will open
the door for retrieval of items locked
inside the vehicle, the valet key or
aluminum key-code tag can be used. If a
master key or the aluminum key-code tag
is not available, a Toyota dealer or certain
registered locksmiths can obtain the key
code from a restricted-access database.
These businesses can also access a
service utility to reprogram the
immobilizer if all registered master keys
have been lost. If a Toyota dealer is not
available, please refer towww.aloa.orgto
find a bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high security key service.
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be
costly. It is advisable to keep a spare
master key and the aluminum key-code
tag in a safe place. If you record the
key-code in more than one place, do not
record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the vehicle.
For example, don’t leave the code
somewhere that can be accessed by a
valet. It is wise to keep a copy of the
key-code outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less than
all three keys and the aluminum key-code
tag, consider having the Toyota dealer or a
qualified independent automotive
locksmith make a duplicate key before you
need it.

For information on how to protect your
vehicle from corrosion, see the section

Your Warranties in Detail13

BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
In the United States, U.S.
Territories and Canada
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories or Canada, take
your vehicle to an authorized Toyota
dealership. If your vehicle cannot be
driven, contact your nearest Toyota
dealership for towing assistance. You do
not have to pay for towing to the nearest
Toyota dealership if your vehicle is
inoperable due to failure of a warranted
part.
Outside the United States, U.S.
Territories and Canada
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories and Canada
and need warranty service, contact a local
Toyota dealership. Please note, however,
that your vehicle may not be repaired free
of charge because the local Toyota
distributor may have no obligation to
provide warranty service for your vehicle,
and/or your vehicle may not comply with
local regulatory or environmental
requirements.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to
drive and there is no Toyota dealership
reasonably available to make repairs, you
may perform the repairs yourself or have
them performed by another automotive
service provider. Toyota will reimburse you
for any of the repairs that are covered by
warranty. To receive reimbursement,
present to an authorized Toyota dealership
your paid repair invoices and any parts
that were removed from the vehicle. You
will be reimbursed for warranted parts at
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price
and warranted labor at a geographically
appropriate hourly rate multiplied by
Toyota’s recommended time allowance for
the repair.
If your vehicle requires emergency repair,
Toyota assumes no liability for subsequent
failures caused by improper repairs or the
use of non-Genuine Toyota Parts unless
you have the vehicle properly repaired in a
timely manner. To ensure that warranty
coverage remains intact, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Toyota
dealership as soon as possible after an
emergency repair.
