Keys
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of key.
1. Master key—This key works in every lock.
2. Subkey—This key is for side doors.
To protect things locked in the glovebox,
trunk or luggage compartment when you
have your vehicle parked, leave the sub-
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors, trunk lid and back
door can be locked without a key, you
should always carry a spare master key
in case you accidentally 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.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH POW-
ER DOOR LOCK SWITCH
Push the switch.
To lock: Push the switch on the front side.
To unlock: Push the switch on the rear
side.
Both side doors lock or unlock simulta-
neously.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the side
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the side doors
helps prevent the driver and passen-
gers from being thrown out from the
vehicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the side doors from be-
ing opened unintentionally.
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 in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
—Side windows
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the ignition
switch is in the ”ON” position. However,
if both side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver’s door.
Normal operation: The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly pull down the switch.
To close: Push up the switch.

switches on the center console.
The windows move as long as you hold
the switch.
To open: Push on the lower side of the
switch.

Part 2 for precautions to observe for load-
ing luggage.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press
down on it.

try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed and make sure that the interior
lights and open door warning light are
turned off.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid or back door
closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being
thrown out but also prevents ex-
haust gases from entering the ve-
hicle.
Lift back only: If the lock has been
half latched, the battery power will
be weaken.

Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the moon roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
CAUTION
When raising or lowering the con-
vertible top, keep hands clear from
the hinges of the top side rails and
any part of the top linkage.
The vehicle should never be driven
with the convertible top partially
lowered. Make sure the top has
been either fully latched to the
windshield frame or fully lowered
before driving.
NOTICE
Make sure there are no items or
packages between the rear seatback
and the convertible top storage area
when raising or lowering the con-
vertible top. Even small items may
interfere with convertible top opera-
tion and can cause damage.
 Do not sit or place excessive
weight on the convertible top; when
the top is up or down, damage to
the top may result.
Do not raise or lower the convert-
ible top when the temperature is
below 5 °C (41 °F), or damage to the
top material or rear window may
result. If necessary to do so, warm
the vehicle in a heated garage prior
to operating the convertible top
mechanism.
 Do not lower the convertible top if
the top is damp or wet. Possible
interior water damage, water stains
or mildew of the top material may
result.
 When the convertible top is com-
pletely lowered, keep the rear win-
dow defogger turned off to avoid
damage to the convertible top.
