Keys
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of key.
1. Master keyÐThis key works in every
lock.
2. Sub keyÐThis key will not work in the
trunk.
To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the
sub key 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
accidentally lock your keys inside the ve-
hicle.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.
We recommend you to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.

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.

insert the master key and turn it clock-
wise.

Part 2 for precautions to observe for 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.

Theft deterrent systemÐ
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. The
engine cannot be started because the
starter circuit will be cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the ºLOCKº
position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the
vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and
hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the doors, trunk and hood are closed and
locked.As the doors are locked, the system will
give you a preparation time of 30 seconds
before the setting, during which the doors,
trunk and hood may be opened.
Be careful not to unlock any door with the
key or wireless remote control transmitter
during setting. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light
starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
The system will automatically be set after
the preparation time passes. The indicator
light will flash to show the system is set.
If any of the doors, trunk or hood is open
at that time, the setting is interrupted 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.

the starter circuit under the following
conditions:

trol transmitter

and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept

the alarm each time all the doors, trunk
and hood are closed after the alarm
stops.
The alarm will be activated again under
the following conditions:

If any of the doors, trunk or hood is
opened

If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnectedStopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the ºLOCKº to
ºONº position. The alarm will be stopped
with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stop-
ping the alarm in this manner will keep
the alarm from being reactivated when any
of the doors, trunk or hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the trunk can be
opened with the key without activating or
cancelling the system. While it is open,
the doors and hood may be opened in
addition. However, when the battery termi-
nal is disconnected and then reconnected,
the system is activated.
To resume the setting, close and lock all
the doors, trunk and hood. The trunk must
be closed with the key removed.

low open flames when refueling.

malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
