Inserting the registered key in the ignition
switch automatically cancels the system,
which enables the hybrid system to start.
The indicator light will go off.
For your Toyota dealer to make you a
new key with builtin transponder chip,
your dealer will need your key number
and master key. However, there is a limit
to the number of additional keys your
Toyota dealer can make for you.
If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the sys-
tem or start the hybrid system.

semble the hybrid vehicle immobiliser
system. If any unauthorized changes

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is no-
body around the power windows.
You must also make sure the heads,
hands and other parts of the bodies
of all occupants are kept completely
inside the vehicle. If someone’s
neck, head or hands get caught in a
closing window, it could result in a
serious injury. When anyone closes
the power windows, make sure that
he or she operates the windows
safely.
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.
