The master key works in every lock.
The subkey will not work in the glove- box.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
when
you have your vehicle parked, leave
the subkey with the attendant. Since the side doors and back door 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.Keep the key number plate in a safe
place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys of 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.

OPERATING THE PASSENGER'S WIN-
DOW
Use the switch on the passenger's
door. The driver's door also has a
switch that controls the passenger's
window.
The window moves as long as you hold the switch.
To open: Pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.
If you push in the window lock button on
the driver's door, the passenger's window cannot be operated.
CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury,
you must do the following. Always make sure the head,
hands and other parts of the
body of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle be-
fore you close the power win-
dows. If someone's neck, head or
hands gets caught in a closing
window, it could result in a seri-
ous injury. When anyone closes
the power windows, be sure that
they operate the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the pow-
er window switches without su-
pervision. Use the window lock
button to prevent them from mak-
ing unexpected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a
window. Unattended children
can become involved in serious accidents.

To open the back door from the out-
side, insert the key and turn it clock- wise.
See ``Luggage stowage precautionsº in
Part 2 for precautions to observe in load- ing luggage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door, try
pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed.
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
CAUTION!
To open the back door from the driv-
er's seat, pull up on the lock release
lever.To open the hood, pull the hood lock
release lever under the dash. The hood
will spring up slightly. In front of the
vehicle, press up on the auxiliary
catch lever and lift the hood. Then
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,
etc. and return the support rod to its clipÐthis prevents rattles.
Your Supra has two hood locks at the front
edge of the hood. Hood

To deter the vehicle theft, the system is
designed to give an alarm and keep the
engine from being started if any of the
side doors, back door or hood is forci-
bly unlocked or the battery terminal is
disconnected 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.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the LOCKº
position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back
door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.
As the side doors are locked, the system
will give you a preparation time of 30 sec-
onds before the setting, during which the
side doors, back door and hood may be
opened to prepare for the setting. Be careful not to use the key when open-
ing either side door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light
starts fl
ashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time passes. The indica-
tor light will flash to show the system is
set. If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is open at that time, the setting is in-
terrupted until it is closed and locked. Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut the
starter circuit under the following condi- tions: If any of the side doors, back door or
hood is unlocked without using the
key.
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.

hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnectedand then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the LOCKº to
ACCº position . The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-

Interrupting the setting When the system set, the back door can
be opened by using the key without set-
ting off the system. While the back door is
open, the setting is interrupted and the
side doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery ter-
minal is disconnected and then recon-
nected, the system is activated. Close and lock the side doors and hood,
and the system will automatically be reset
after two seconds when the back door isclosed with the key removed. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM

FOLDING DOWN REAR SEAT
Unlock the seatback, and fold it down.
This will enlarge the luggage compart-
ment as far as the front seatbacks. See
Luggage stowage precautionsº in Part 2 for precautions to observe in loading lug- gage.SETTING UP REAR SEAT Unlock the seatback, and set it up.
CAUTION!
When returning the seatback to the
upright position: Make sure the seat belts are not
twisted or caught in the seatback
and are arranged in their proper
position for ready use.
Make sure the seatback is securely
locked by pushing forward and
rearward on the top of the seat- back.
To turn on the seat heater, push the Lº
switch for the driver's seat, and Rº

This indicator comes on when the
ignition key is turned to the ACCº or
ONº position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags
are operating properly.
The SRS airbag warning light system
monitors the front airbag sensors, center
airbag sensor assembly, inflators, warn-
ing light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.The SRS airbag system is designed to
activate in response to a severe frontal
impact within the shaded area be-
tween the arrows in the illustration.
The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity
of the impact is above the designed
threshold level, comparable to an approxi-
mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im-
pacting straight into a fixed barrier that
does not move or deform.
If the severity of the impact is below the
above threshold level, the SRS airbags
may not deploy. However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher if the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign
pole, which can move or deform on im-
pact, or if it is
involved in an underride col-
lision (a collision in which the nose of the
vehicle underridesº, or goes under, the
bed of a truck). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection
and activation that only one of your ve-
hicle's two airbags will deploy.
For your safety, be sure to always wear your seat belts.
