When starting the hybrid system,
do not use the key in proximity
with other transponder keys (includ-
ing keys of other vehicles) and do
not press other key plates against
the key grip. Doing so may prevent
the hybrid system from starting or,
may cause the hybrid system to
stop soon after it starts. If this hap-
pens, remove the key once and
then insert it again after taking off
other transponder keys (including
keys of other vehicles) from the
ring or while gripping or covering
them with your hand to start the
hybrid system.
21p004a
Do not bend the key grip.
Do not cover the key grip with any
material that cuts off electromagnet-
ic waves.
 Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
 Do not leave the key exposed to
high temperatures for a long period,
such as on the dashboard or hood
under direct sunlight.
 Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
 Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.

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.
21p006
The hybrid vehicle immobiliser system
is a theft prevention system. When you
insert the key in the ignition switch,
the transponder chip in the key’s head
transmits an electronic code to the ve-
hicle. The hybrid system will start, only
when the electronic code in the chip
corresponds to the registered ID code
for the vehicle.
21p007a
The system is automatically set when the
key is removed from the ignition switch.
The indicator light will start flashing to
show the system is set.
If either of the following indicator condi-
tions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
The indicator light stays on except
when the theft deterrent system is set-
ting or activating. (See ”Theft deterrent
system” on page 34 in this section.)
The indicator light does not start flash-
ing when the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
The indicator light flashes unsteady.

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.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disas-
semble the hybrid vehicle immobiliser
system. If any unauthorized changes
or modifications are made, the proper
operation of the system cannot be
guaranteed.
