Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keysÐThese keys work in ev-
ery lock.
2. Sub keyÐThis key will not work in the
glove box.
To protect items locked in the glove box
when using valet parking, leave the sub
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare 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 writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys (black)ÐThese keys work
in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need one of them to make a new key
with a built- in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)ÐThis key will not work
in the glove box.

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, 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 items locked in the glove box
when using valet parking, leave the sub
key with the attendant.
Since the side doors can be locked with-
out a key, you should always carry a
spare key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans-
ponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring resting
on 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 not
use the key with other transponder
keys 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 once
and then insert it again after remov-
ing other transponder keys (includ-
ing keys of other vehicles) from the
ring or while gripping or covering
them with your hand to start the
engine.

The air conditioning filter information
label is placed in the glove box as
shown and indicates that a filter has
been installed.
The air conditioning filter prevents dust
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioning and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy
traffic flow, such as inner city or desert
areas, early replacement may be required.
(For scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the Scheduled Mainte-
nance Guideº or Owner 's Manual Supple-
mentº.)

Maintenance Records
Maintaining your vehicle according to the recommendations in this booklet is
required to ensure that your warranty coverage remains intact. You should keep
detailed records of vehicle maintenance, including date of service, mileage at
time of service and a description of service and/or parts installation performed.
The scheduled maintenance log in this booklet can help you document this
information. If you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your maintenance records to
the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records
to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failures caused
by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
Maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or by any automotive
service provider you choose. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely becauseyou used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failures caused by improper maintenance or repairs
are notcovered under warranty.
Dealer Recommended Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more frequent maintenance intervals or more
maintenance services than those listed in the scheduled maintenance log. Theseadditional services are not required to maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your
dealer for an explanation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
Fora complete description of Toyota warranty coverages, see the booklet
entitled
2005 Owner’s Warranty Informationlocated in yourvehicle’s
glove box.
