If you lose your keys
Please contact your nearest Toyota
dealer and ask for duplicating key. You
must inform of the key number and, in
case of making the immobiliser key,
one of the master keys must be pre-
sented.
Vehicles with engine immobiliser systemÐ
Even if you lose only one key, contact
your Toyota dealer to make a new key.
However, if you loose all your master
keys, the dealer cannot duplicate key but
only replace the whole engine immobiliser
system.
See the suggestion given in ªKeysº in
Section 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.

The inside of the lens of exterior lights
such as headlights may temporarily fog up
when the lens becomes wet in the rain or
in a car wash. This is not a problem
because the fogging is caused by the
temperature difference between the outside
and inside of the lens, just like the
windshield fogged up in the rain. However,
if there is a large drop of water on the
inside of the lens, or if there is water
pooled inside the light, contact your
Toyota dealer.Light bulbs
