The remote keyless entry system is
designed to lock or unlock all the
doors or activate the “PANIC” mode
from a distance within approximately 1
m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE
DOORS
To lock and unlock all the doors, push
the switches of the transmitter slowly
and securely.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
doors are locked simultaneously. At this
time one beep will be heard, and the tail
lights and front side marker lights will
flash once.
Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.
If any door is not securely closed, locking
cannot be performed by the “LOCK”
switch and a beep will sound continuously
for 5 seconds. However, if the key is in
the ignition, a beep will not sound.
To stop the beep, close all the doors se-
curely or push the “UNLOCK” switch. To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the doors simultaneously. Each
time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, two
beeps will be heard, and the tail lights
and front side marker lights will flash
twice.
When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light and ignition switch light
come on. The lights remain on for about
30 seconds unless any door is opened
and closed.
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again
and one beep will be heard, and the tail
lights and front side marker lights will
flash once.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the switch
and then push again.
“PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently, flashes the head-
lights and tail lights, and turns on the
interior light.
The “PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the “PANIC” switch
once again, lock or unlock any door with
the key or transmitter, or turn the ignition
key from the “LOCK” to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the ignition switch.

The remote keyless entry transmitter is an
electronic component. Observe the follow-
ing instructions in order not to cause dam-
age to the transmitter.
Do not leave the transmitter on places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.
Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 4 remote keyless entry
transmitters for the same vehicle. Contact
your Toyota dealer for detailed information.
If the remote keyless entry transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance:
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see “REPLACING
TRANSMITTER BATTERY”. If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
avoid the possibility of theft, or an acci-
dent. (See “If you lose your remote key-
less entry transmitter” in Section 4.)

5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, blows the horn intermittently
for one minute while flashing head-
lights, tail lights and front side marker
lights, and turns on the interior light.
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or remote
keyless entry transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.
Any of the doors is forcibly opened.

ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired. After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.

Once set, until you cancel the system, the
system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.

You can stop the alarm in either of the
following ways:
Unlock any of the doors with the key
or remote keyless entry transmitter.

cally and the system will be set again. NOTE: If your vehicle’s tail lights and
front side marker lights turn on
and the buzzer sounds for 2 sec-
onds when the system is can-
celed, the trigger memory was ac-
tivated; an alarm was triggered
while you were away from the ve-
hicle.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
You can check the system operation as
follows.
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described in “SETTING THE SYSTEM”.
