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 trunk.
To protect items locked in the trunk when
using valet parking, leave the sub key
with the attendant.
Since all 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 writing down the key num-
ber and storing it in a safe place.LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY
Insert the key into the keyhole and turn
it.
To lock: Turn the key forward.
To unlock: Turn the key backward.
Vehicles with power door lock system—
All the doors lock and unlock simulta-
neously with either front door. In the driv-
er’s door lock, turning the key once will
unlock the driver’s door and twice in suc-
cession will unlock all the doors simulta-
neously.

DOOR position, and all doors are un-
locked simultaneously using either the key
or the wireless remote control transmitter,
the interior light will come on and remain
on for about 15 seconds before fading

instrument panel light control” on page 77
in Section 14.)

To unlock: Pull the knob backward.
The front doors can be opened by pulling
the inside handle even if the lock knobs

Operating the switch simultaneously locks
or unlocks all the doors.

less remote control transmitter when all
the doors are closed.

ger’s door and move the inside lock
knobs of both front doors to the lock
position, then close the front doors.

REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.

CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light comes on. The light re-
mains on for about 15 seconds unless any
door is opened and closed. (For further
information, see “Interior/instrument panel
light control” on page 77 in Section 14.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
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, tail lights, turn signal lights
and interior light.
The “PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
the alarm midway, push any switch on the
transmitter or turn the ignition key from
the “LOCK” to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “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.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see “REPLACING
TRANSMITTER BATTERY”.
