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 glovebox and trunk.
To protect things locked in the glovebox
or trunk when you have your vehicle
parked, leave the subkey with the atten-
dant.
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.

Your vehicle is supplied with the two
kinds of key. 1. Master key (black)ÐThis key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need it to make you a new key with
built- in transponder chip.
2. Subkey (gray)ÐThis key will not work in the glovebox and trunk.
The master key and subkey each have a
transponder chip in their key head which
is very important for the system function,
so be careful not to lose these keys. If
you make your own duplicate key, you will
not be able to cancel the system or start
the engine. To protect things locked in the trunk when
you have your vehicle parked, leave the
subkey with the attendant.
Since the side 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.NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the followingprecautions:
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring restingon the key grip and do not press
the key ring against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,or may stop soon after it starts.

When starting the engine, do notuse the key with other transponderkeys around (including keys of oth- er vehicles) and do not press other
key plates against the key grip.Otherwise the engine may not start,or may stop soon after it starts. If
this happens, remove the key onceand then insert it again after takingoff other transponder keys (includ-
ing keys of other vehicles) from thering or while gripping or coveringthem with your hand to start the
engine.Do not bend the key grip.

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. Engine immobiliser systemThe engine immobiliser system is a
theft prevention system. When you in-
sert the key in the ignition switch, the
transponder chip in the key's head
transmits an electronic code to the ve-
hicle. The engine will start, only when
the electronic code in the chip corre-
sponds to the registered ID code for
the vehicle.The system is automatically set when the
key is removed from the ignition switch.
The indicator light will start flashing every
1 second to show the system is set.
If either of the following indicator condi-
tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
The indicator light stays on except
when the theft deterrent system is set-
ting or activating. (See ºTheft deterrent
system.)
The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
The indicator light flashes unsteady.

SOLARA_U11
Inserting the registered key in the ignition
switch automatically cancels the system,
which enables the engine to start. The
indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with built- in transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and master key. However, there is a limit
to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.
If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the engine.
