Keys
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.1. Master key—This key works in every lock.
2. Sub key—This key will not work in the back door and glove box.
To protect things locked in the glove box
or luggage compartment when you have
your vehicle parked, leave the sub key
with the attendant.
Since the side doors and back door can
be locked without a key, you should al-
ways 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.
We recommend to write down the key
number and keep it in safe place.

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.
—Wireless remote control

Unlocking operation
Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
both side doors and back door, or

securely closed, or if the key is in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be per-
formed by the “LOCK” switch.

unlocked simultaneously with a wireless
remote control transmitter, the interior light
comes on for about 15 seconds and then
fades out, even if the door is not opened.
(For further information, see “Interior light”
in Section 1−4.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after

pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the button
and then push again.
“PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights and tail lights.

hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, do the following:
Push the “PANIC” switch once again.
Unlock either side door or back door
with the key or wireless remote control
transmitter.
Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK”
to “ACC” or “ON” position. The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON”
position.
WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
TRANSMITTER
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage to the transmitter.
Do not leave the transmitter on places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.
Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed
information.
If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance:
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.

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 switch 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.

and turn it.

lease lever.
Operating the power door lock switch or
wireless remote control transmitter simul-
taneously locks or unlocks the back door
(see “Side doors—” in this section).
When closing the back door, make sure
it is securely closed.
See “Luggage stowage precautions” in
Section 2 for precautions in loading lug-
gage.When closing the back door, use the
inside handle for easier reach to the
back door.
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 secure-
ly closed.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
