Many Toyota dealers can make a new
key if you can give them the key num-
ber. If your vehicle is equipped with the
engine immobiliser system, the dealer
will also need your master key.
See the suggestion given in ºKeysº in
Chapter 1- 2.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the smallest side window be-
cause it is the least expensive to replace.
Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from
the glass.
Vehicles with engine immobiliser systemÐ
Even if you lose only one key, contact
your Toyota dealer to make a new key. If
you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole system must
be replaced.
If you lose your transmitter, you can
purchase a new one at your Toyota
dealer.
You can use the wireless remote control
system with the new transmitter. Contact
your Toyota dealer for detailed information.
