The wireless remote control system is
designed to lock or unlock all the side
doors and back door, open the glass
hatch or activate the “PANIC” mode
from a distance within approximately 1
m (3 ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SIDE
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, turn signal
lights flash once.
Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.
If any of side doors or back door is not
securely closed, or if the key is in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be per-
formed 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 side doors and back door
simultaneously. At this time, turn signal
lights flash twice.When the interior light dial is in the door
position, and all the side doors and back
door are unlocked simultaneously with a
wireless remote control transmitter, the in-
terior lights come on for about 15 seconds
and then fade out, even if the door is not
opened. (For further information, see “Inte-
rior/instrument panel light control” on page
81 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
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally 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.
OPENING THE GLASS HATCH
To open the glass hatch, push the
“HATCH” switch of the transmitter for
1 second.

“PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, turn signal lights and interi-
or lights.
The “PANIC” switch 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
alarm midway, do the following:
Push the “PANIC” switch once again.
Unlock any of side doors, back door or
glass hatch with the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.

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”.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
avoid the possibility of theft, or an acci-
dent. (See “If you lose your wireless re-
mote control transmitter” on page 233 in
Section 4.)

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 side doors, back door and glass hatch securely.
4. Lock all the side doors and back door with the key or wireless remote control
transmitter. At this time, the TVIP indi-
cator light comes on.

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.

minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights. Also, the interior
lights turn on when the interior light
dial is in the door position.

the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.

all the side doors and back door will
be automatically locked again.
Any of the side doors, back door or
glass hatch are forcibly opened.
The alarm will activate when the back
door is unlocked with a key. Cancel the
system before unlocking the back door.
