Your vehicle is supplied with two
kinds of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every lock.
2. SubkeyÐThis key will not work in the trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should always
carry a
spare master key in case you acci-
dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the
plate. Keep the 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.

To open the trunk lid from the outside, insert the master key and turn it clock- wise. See ºLuggage stowage precautionsº in
Part 2 for precautions to observe in load- ing luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the trunk lid, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed.
CAUTION!
Keep the trunk lid closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
To open the trunk lid from the driver's
seat, pull up on the lock release lever.

2. In front of the vehicle, pull up on the
auxiliary catch lever and lift the hood.3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,

hood and make sure it locks into place. If
necessary, press down ge ntly on the front
edge to lock it.
CAUTION!
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely.
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
doors, trunk or hood is forcibly un-
locked or the battery terminal is discon-
nected and then reconnected when the
vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights, tail lights, andother exterior lights. The engine cannot
be started because the starter circuit will be cut.
