When the interior light dial is in the
DOOR position and all the 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
out. (For further information, see “Interior/
instrument panel light control” on page 79
in Section 1−5.)
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH

The front doors can be opened by pulling
the inside handle even if the lock knobs

CAUTION
Do not pull the inside handle of the
front doors while driving. The doors
will open and an accident may occur.
Toyota strongly recommends that all
children be placed in the rear seat of
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.
Locking operation
Unlocking operation
The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the
doors or activate the “PANIC” mode
from a distance within approximately 1
m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE

the switches of the transmitter slowly
and securely.
To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the
doors are locked simultaneously. At this
time the turn signal lights will flash once.
Check to see that the doors are securely
locked.
If any door is not securely closed, locking
cannot be performed by the “LOCK”
switch.
To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver ’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the doors simultaneously. Each
time the “UNLOCK” switch is pushed, the
turn signal lights will flash twice.
