Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.1. Master keys— These keys work in every lock.
Since the doors and trunk lid can be
locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside
the vehicle.
2. Sub key— This key will not work in the glove box
and trunk.
To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking,
leave the sub key with the attendant.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.Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys (black)— These keys work in every lock. Your
Toyota dealer will need one of them to
make a new key with a built −in trans-
ponder chip.

locked without a key, you should al-
ways carry a spare master key in case
you accidentally lock your keys inside
the vehicle.

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

hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
