■If you lose your keys
New genuine keys can be made by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer using the other key and the key
number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place
such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
