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
DOORS
To lock and unlock all the doors, push
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.

When the “UNLOCK” switch is pressed,
the interior light comes on. The light re-
mains on for about 15 seconds unless any
door is opened and closed. (For further
information, see “Interior/instrument panel
light control” on page 79 in Section 1−5.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
doors will be automatically locked again.
If the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the switch
and then push again.
“PANIC” MODE
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights
and interior light.
The “PANIC” mode is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
the alarm midway, push any switch on the
transmitter or turn the ignition key from
the “LOCK” to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “ON” position. WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL
TRANSMITTER
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage to the transmitter.
Do not leave the transmitter on places
where the temperature becomes high
such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.
Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed
information.
If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance:
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see “REPLACING
TRANSMITTER BATTERY”.

TVIP is a theft deterrent system. If
someone attempts to damage or break
into your vehicle, the system sounds
the alarm while flashing the lights.SETTING THE SYSTEM
You can set the system as follows.1. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close all the doors and trunk lid secu- rely.
4. Lock all the doors with the key or wire- less remote control transmitter. At this
time, the TVIP indicator light comes
on.
The system will be set in 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator
light will start to flash. 5. Make sure that the indicator light
flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, it sounds the alarm for one
minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights.
At this time, the interior light also turns
on when the interior light dial is in the
DOOR position. (See “Interior/instrument
panel light control” on page 79 in Section
1 −5.)
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the doors will be automatically
locked again.
Any of the doors or trunk lid are forci-
bly opened.
The alarm will activate when the trunk
lid is opened with a key. Cancel the
system before o pening the trunk lid.
