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 glove box, trunk and armrest door in
the rear seat.
To protect things locked in the glove box
or trunk when you have your vehicle
parked, leave the sub key 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 two kinds
of keys. 1. Master key (black)—This key works in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need it to make you a new key with
built −in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work in the glove box, trunk and armrest
door in the rear seat.
A transponder chip for engine immobiliser
system has been filled 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.
