The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the side
doors and back door, open the back
window or activate the “PANIC” mode
from a distance within approximately 1
m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.

DOORS AND BACK DOOR
To lock and unlock all the side doors
and back door, push the switches of
the transmitter slowly and securely.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
side doors and back door are locked si-
multaneously. At this time one beep will
be heard, and the turn signal lights flash
once.
Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.
If any of the side doors or the back door
is not securely closed, locking cannot be
performed by the “LOCK” switch and a

onds. However, if the key is in the ignition

doors and back door securely or push the
“UNLOCK” switch.

contact your Toyota dealer. To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver ’s door alone.

simultaneously. Each time the “UNLOCK”
switch is pushed, two beeps will be heard,
and the turn signal lights flash twice.
This double switch operation to unlock all
the side doors and back door can be
changed to a single switch operation. For
details, contact your Toyota dealer.
When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light, luggage compartment
light, ignition switch light and running
board lights (on some models) will come
on and remain on for about 15 seconds
before fading out. (For details, see “Interi-

ment light” on page 127, “Ignition switch
light” on page 128 and “Running board

side doors and back door will be automati-
cally locked again.
The timing for the automatic door lock
function can be changed. For details, con-
tact your Toyota dealer. If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the switch
